How to Make Introductions to Print Partner
If you’ve been Print Partner over the past year, you should know exactly what we’re about.
Print Partner is the trusted managed print services and document solutions provider for your MSP’s clients. Until someone else comes along, we are the only print provider that is wholly aligned with the needs and goals of managed service providers.
In case you need a refresher, or if this is your first time reading our content, we offer value to MSPs in three primary ways:
Protection: Unlike many other print providers, we don’t offer IT services that compete with our MSP partners, and we never will. Work with us, and we’ll protect you from print vendors that try to poach your clients.
Collaboration: Sick of troubleshooting printers and copiers? Work with us, and we’ll handle our shared customers’ print-related troubles for you. If clients call about devices you can’t troubleshoot over the phone, send them our way, and we’ll take care of it.
Compensation: We pay you for referrals! Each qualified referral will net you at least $250 per introduction, plus $1,000 per copier sold and 5% on the client’s lifetime print allotment.
The value that we provide is clear to any MSP owner. Send deals our way to protect your business relationships, save your staff’s time on print-related calls, and make some extra cash.
But you may be asking: how exactly do you make an introduction to Print Partner? How do you initiate the print conversation with your clients?
In this article, we’ll go over ways that you can effectively connect your clients with Print Partner so that you can start reaping the many benefits we offer to our MSP partners.
