ProEPM Relationship

 

Our core business offering is web hosting. The ProEPM Partner Program is the practical interpretation of this philosophy. It enables Project Managers consultants, PMO trainers, systems integrators, technical advisors and PMI practitioners in general to utilize ProEPM's services in their business and to on-sell our services to their customers.

Becoming a ProEPM Partner effectively gives you the ability to create a world-class web hosting reseller service for your customers from scratch in a very short period of time, which has service offerings consistent with that of USA largest Project Server hosting provider.

 

Web Hosting Reseller - Financial Benefits

 

ProEPM encourages Partners to create their own unique pricing levels, as opposed to mimicking our recommended retail pricing. We recognize that you are providing a value-added service to your customers that they might not necessarily receive if they were a direct customer of ProEPM.

Note that the key phrase there is "recurring revenue" - that means you get paid based on the client's continued business with ProEPM. This is not a "once and done" deal, but something much more valuable - you get paid on a Monthly basis for every Month that the client is with ProEPM.

There are significant volume-based financial rewards on offer for Partners who service their customers' web hosting needs through ProEPM. These rewards are designed around a percentage (%) discount structure based on ProEPM's recommended retail pricing (RRP).

The discount system applies to all of the ProEPM web hosting products that you resell to your customer base. These include: shared and dedicated web hosting, set-up fees, and our vast range of hosting add-on products.

Depending upon the amount of sales you achieve each month with ProEPM (calculated using ProEPM's RRP, not your discounted rate), you are assigned a Partner Level which determines your discount rate, as detailed in the matrix below.

Web Hosting Reseller Partner Reward Structure Matrix

 

Partner Level	Sales of ProEPM Products/Month	Hosting Products Discount
Bronze	Up to $1000	22% off RRP
Silver	$1,001 - $9,999	25% off RRP
Gold	over $10,000	30% off RRP

 

Importantly, the more business you do as a ProEPM Partner increases the financial rewards that you can achieve. The evaluation of your ProEPM sales occurs on a Month basis and should you surpass your Partner Level revenue bracket, you will start to receive the new higher level discount in the following month. For many businesses, this can provide a new 'recurring' revenue stream.
