Partnering: Fundamental Concepts
We understand that successful partnerships must be mutually beneficial. This is achieved most effectively when both partners use their specific skills and competencies in complementary ways to help both businesses prosper. There are two types of partnership programs available today. Although the word “partnership” is often overused in today’s world, Ceres leadership truly believes in our partner ecosystem.
Ceres Referral Program
The simplest option is the Ceres Referral Program. This program is available for those partners who simply want to leverage their network and make beneficial customer introductions to Ceres. The partners in this program receive a commission based on collected recurring revenue applicable to the first year of a new customer agreement with Ceres.
Ceres Reseller Program
The Ceres Reseller Program is for those partners who want to directly resell Ceres solutions to their customers. There are three (3) reseller levels: associate, gold, and platinum.
