| PartnerOps |
PartnerOps are opportunities for VARportal members to work together. The Opportunity to develop short and long term partnerships within the VARportal Community is one of the most important reasons our members join.
There are four types of “PartnerOps”:
Specific Project Partnering - Need help providing a business solution to a customer? Use this type of PartnerOp to locate resources to serve an immediate client need.
Strategic Partnering Opportunity - Locate strategic partner relationships that complement your business strategy.
Lead Swap – Inform other members about opportunities that you have uncovered but don't fit within your core capabilities. You can help the prospect or client identify an appropriate provider and receive a finder's fee for your effort!
Business Requirement - Find service providers to assist with your operational business needs. This PartnerOp type is helpful in locating business service providers who provide non-technical skills to the VARportal community. Examples of business service providers in this category would be Marketing, Training, HR Outsourcing, Accounting, Recruiting etc.. |
