Maximize Cisco VIP Cash Back with Netformx DesignXpert®

Equipment vendors such as Cisco offer a variety of promotion and incentive programs. These programs can dramatically impact the profitability of a deal for resellers who take full advantage of them. A major challenge for resellers is timely awareness of these programs and making sure the team responsible for putting together proposals factors them into their design choices.

Netformx delivers unparalleled visibility into such programs to ensure customers maximize the profitability of every design from the start. By seeing clearly what products qualify for promotion and incentive programs, users are driven to take smarter choices when designing a solution. Netformx customers have been able to improve the profitability of every deal and increase payouts under programs such as the Cisco Value Incentive Program (VIP).

Cisco Value Incentive Program (VIP)

The Cisco Value Incentive Program (VIP) rewards partners who focus their practices on Cisco technologies and architectures that are part of the Collaboration, Data Center, or Borderless Networks portfolio. Cisco is prepared to provide partners cash back for selling VIP eligible products, but knowing which ones qualify can be time consuming. Ensuring sales engineers include VIP eligible products at the start of the design streamlines the process and reduces the potential for missing the opportunity to get checks from Cisco.

Netformx DesignXpert with Cisco VIP Products

The Netformx KnowledgeBase includes up-to-date information about all Cisco products eligible under VIP. Users can see at-a-glance if products being designed qualify for rewards under Cisco VIP right inside Netformx DesignXpert and make a better decision early in the design process. Users are naturally inclined to create designs that maximize VIP payouts up front by designing eligible products from the start.

Netformx has made it simple and fast for Cisco resellers to maximize Cisco VIP cash back. This is why Cisco resellers need to put Netformx DesignXpert in the hands of anyone who creates designs to guarantee they include VIP eligible products and drive bigger checks from Cisco.
