Our Diverse Partner Types – Which One Are You?

Channel

Partners who are primarily software resellers using a two-tier approach, where a distributor supplies software to several resellers who in turn provide the software to their end customers. As partner sales increase, so does the opportunity for greater margins. And the opportunity is there to expand into one of the other partner types.

Technology

Partners who integrate their own solutions – through software, consulting or using Quark APIs and SDKs – with Quark’s, to provide innovative and industry focused joint offerings or product extensions. There are four different partner types that sit under the Technology umbrella, which are Solution, Integration, System Integrator and Technology.

Consulting

Partners who are industry and content domain specialists that align Quark solutions with real-world customer problems. They can be either referral or influencing partners or partners who provide Quark end user implementation or training services. The two types of partners under this umbrella are Consulting and Implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are a number of key benefits in joining the Quark Partner Program. The first is free access to our digital marketing automation platform, where you can manage and deploy campaigns and take advantage of free marketing collateral that you can co-brand to maintain prospect and customer engagement.

Secondly, there’s access to support for your sales deals and opportunities. You can register deals and get help from Quark to close those deals without losing margin. This, aligned with the option of being able to sell all Quark offerings including Quark Docurated and Quark Publishing Platform NextGen, will allow for much bigger deal sizes and higher revenue.

Thirdly, you can take advantage of our content library with access to all Quark marketing materials and basic training for enterprise products.

And coming soon is our partner locator and marketplace, where visibility of partners and their associated offerings can be shared across the whole partner network, helping you build wider business relationships and profitable partnerships.
Our portal has extensive marketing and lead nurturing capabilities that help you engage with your prospects and manage your customer renewals, so you never miss a date or close opportunity. You can learn the distinct sales messaging for Quark enterprise products and register opportunities that Quark can help you close when you’re ready to engage with us.

The enterprise products, namely Quark Publishing Platform (QPP) NextGen and Quark Docurated, offer significantly bigger deal sizes and greater profit opportunities, albeit with a longer sales cycle. In the first instance, you don’t need to fully understand how to deploy the software as Quark will help, until your business becomes large enough that you wish to maintain your own dedicated staff.

For our development partners, the API for QPP NextGen offers a new development platform for integrations and extensions that can be built and sold separately, or potentially through other members of the partner ecosystem via the marketplace.
The portal has marketing collateral, which can be co-branded with your own company details, as well as white papers, videos, ebooks and case studies. Plus, there’s dedicated tutorials and training for your sales and presales teams.

When deals are registered, Quark can provide deep sales and presales support to help you close those deals. We understand that our enterprise products require a deeper sales approach, which is why Quark provides this service as part of our sales cost, educating you on how to position and sell these products with confidence.
A partner can register a deal in the portal from a minimum of USD 5K value and we will help you with those leads once you have registered them. Quark does not see any of your leads prior to registration, so you are free to work on those in private beforehand using the portal.
The onboarding process is tailored around a 30-, 60- and 90-day timeline to optimize your experience and help you become a partner as effortlessly as possible.

In the first 30 days, you will perform basic functions such as setting up your portal login and adding partner details and contact information. You will then take a guided tour of the portal and marketing tools with our team.

In the period up to 60 days, you can start implementing initial co-branded marketing campaigns, access training courses, register leads and understand about your campaign analytics.

As you move towards 90 days, you can target to complete campaigns and convert leads to deals to register with us. You can also plan to achieve sales and presales certification.
