  Membership Criteria
 

Whether you are new to Avaya or an existing Avaya BusinessPartner, if you know of end-user opportunities for Avaya products/solutions that you cannot fulfill directly, Sales Influencer is open to you.

• NON-AVAYA PARTNERS- Whether you are new to the VoIP business, aligned with a competing vendor, or in a complementary industry, the Sales Influencer Program is a great way to start working with Avaya with no commitment. In addition to earning commissions you can leverage the Avaya ecosystem to grow your business including alignment with local teams, access to product information, industry news, and regional events.

• EXISTING AVAYA SMALL & MEDIUM PARTNERS (SMBS) PARTNERS- As an existing SMBS Partner, how do you handle Enterprise sales opportunities as they arise? The Sales Influencer Program is a great way to refer them to a Certified Enterprise Partner and be compensated for your efforts by Avaya.

• EXISTING AVAYA ENTERPRISE PARTNERS- The Sales Influencer Program is an excellent tool to leverage for those opportunities that you identify outside of your authorized geography.

• EXISTING AVAYA DEVCONNECT PARTNERS- You build the next generation of intelligent communications solutions but your business is not authorized to resell Avaya products. This is a great program to refer those opportunities you uncover to an Avaya Partner and be compensated.

• EXISTING AVAYA CUSTOMERS- You already know the benefits of our solutions and now you can refer other firms in your network and receive compensation.

If you wish to sell/install products, service customer systems, are a product supplier or developer of applications, please check the Alliances & Partnerships website for additional information.
