Application to the Aspire Partner Program
Vanderbilt & Comnet are committed to supporting you grow your security business while developing a cutting-edge portfolio of products and systems. Partnership means nurturing your growth potential and rewarding your performance so that the sum of our efforts reaches farther beyond than what we could individually achieve. Therefore, our program entails tailor-made benefits that are meant to nurture your aspirations to get to the top together with us.
The Aspire Partner Program offers three levels of membership: Registered, Silver and Gold either as a Distribution or an Integration Partner. Once your application has been assessed and accepted by Vanderbilt & Comnet, you will receive a welcome pack and the full range of benefits tied to your membership level. Joining the program at a Registered level will already provide you with the little extras that are often the starting point for achieving business growth and performance.
Partner Requirements
Partners are required to meet a sales standard and a Vanderbilt & Comnet training/certification standard. Vanderbilt & Comnet carefully looks at every application and evaluates them through a scorecard system for the Silver and Gold levels. See the minimum requirements per level below. Your partner level advancement and maintenance is subject to the following pre-requisites.
At this point, our program does not cover our North-American business – both portfolio- and customer-wise. It also excludes international key accounts, manufacturers/OEM businesses, and consultants/specifiers.
