Be sure to take advantage of the many offerings available through the Premier Partner Program. Remember, Ingram Micro has one of the most lucrative points programs available. It allows you to earn as you buy – use these points to receive credits from Ingram Micro expenses. This month you can look forward to another co-op statement. Ingram Micro has outlined the dollars you have earned and can use towards marketing activities.
Points Program •
This program allows participating resellers to earn Points based on their total Ingram Micro sales, which may be used at Ingram Micro to “purchase” a variety of valuable services. Based on the dollar value of total purchases, these points can be used to “pay” for such items as training, air shipments, fulfillment charges, configuration and 9:00 a.m. delivery.
The following is an example of how points are earned: 1) Customer ABC ‘s sales in the period of January 1stMarch 31st = $300,000 2) Points calcuation - $1000 sales = 1point 3) Therefore Customer ABC has 300 points •
