Linksys, which sells Wi-Fi networking solutions, is introducing a new partner network and portal.

Resellers can access discounts and promotions via InterLink. They also get education and training programs, as well as sales, marketing and technical support.

“InterLink is a partner network that goes beyond a simple partnership,” said John Minasyan, head of commercial business, Linksys. “It extends Linksys’ product expertise and innovation to partners and enables them with the resources and support they need to maximize business growth and exceed their goals.”

Linksys InterLink consists of three tiers: network partner, elite partner and premier partner. Network is the lowest tier. These partners get benefits that include promotions; government and educational discounts; and training in tech and sales. Elite partners, the middle tier, get those benefits plus deal registration, dedicated inside sales support and merchandising consultation. Premier partners, the highest designation, get all of that plus access to exclusive benefits such as a dedicated account manager. They also get quarterly road map reviews and access to proofs of concept.

All partners can get HomeWRK certified through a series of trainings on the HomeWRK for Business solution.

Meantime, the new Linksys partner portal offers partners regular engagement with the company’s sales, marketing, tech support and business development teams. It features events, webinars and direct lines of communication, enabling them to “build, develop and close more business,” the company said.
