Fairfield, Conn.-based Novus LLC, a boutique telecommunications and IP distributor, has introduced a new Endpoint Affiliate Program designed to incentivize Microsoft Partners to work with Novus to provide endpoints for customers deploying Microsoft Lync Enterprise Voice. Partners whose leads culminate in sales of “Qualified for Microsoft Lync” desktop phone systems will earn rebates for each endpoint.
Novus says the Endpoint Affiliate Program, which will run throughout 2013, is intended to encourage partners to engage end users directly to provide demo units, remote training, tech support, delivery, and installation (when required) of Lync endpoints. Partners will receive rebates ranging from $4 to $9 per phone, depending on the product. Partners are also encouraged to remain fully engaged in the process, to strengthen their relationship with Novus and their clients, and to expand their knowledge of endpoint options.
Eligible applicants must be authorized Microsoft Partners willing to engage Novus and participate in the process of selecting appropriate products for clients. They must also sign the Novus Endpoint Affiliate Program Agreement and submit opportunities not previously known to Novus. The company will inform participating partners if a lead has already been registered. Novus will not share any information submitted by partners, ensuring confidentiality and privacy.
Eligible devices, detailed in the Microsoft Hardware Catalog, include IP desk phones, meeting room devices, and audio and visual devices (headsets/cameras). Revenues derived from labor, installation and/or maintenance, technical support, and professional services associated with the endpoints are not covered under this program.
Partners submit leads on the Novus Endpoint Affiliate Program Registration page. Transactions must occur within a year of submissions, unless modified or extended by Novus.
