Partner Opportunities
PaperThin offers several different partnership levels each offering a range of services aimed to ensure a partner's success.
Associate Partner
Associate Partners understand the value CommonSpot offers, and are in a position to recommend content management to their customers. Associate partners do not resell CommonSpot directly; instead they work closely with the PaperThin sales team to sell CommonSpot.
Consulting Partner
Consulting Partners are committed to actively selling CommonSpot. CommonSpot is positioned and sold as an integral part of the total Web project or as a stand-alone solution.
Premier Partner
Consulting Partners may seek Premier status after having met Consulting level requirements. Premier Partner designation is awarded based on the partner’s demonstrated success in selling CommonSpot. Premier partners benefit from greater discounts in selling CommonSpot, and may take advantage of additional training and marketing benefits.
Hosting Partner
Hosting Partners are those companies providing CommonSpot on a monthly subscription basis, in a shared server environment in combination with other Internet hosting services.
