New way for anyone to earn monthly revenue; full back-up services
BEDFORD, TX (June 20, 2003) - C I Host, already leading the industry in its robust, transparent reseller program, has added a new level of agent that expands the types of entrepreneurs who can add C I Host’s services to their service portfolio.
"This is perfect for people who sell other services, such as insurance, pre-paid calling cards or other items not necessarily related to the Internet," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host. "They can earn residual income and life-of-customer monthly revenue for every Web hosting customer that they send us."
The beauty of the program is that the customers that i-Agent brings in receive C I Host’s 24x7 customer support, rock-solid reliable network and industry-leading service-level agreements that back up C I Host’s promises with guaranteed customer refunds.
i-Agent can offer their customers, clients, friends, family, associates or new sales prospects full-service Web hosting, dedicated servers, co-location, Internet access and other industry leading C I Host products and services.
"The i-Agent sells them, we bill them and support them and the i-Agent receives monthly, residual checks," Faulkner said. "It puts more money in their pockets and gives us an additional sales force."
Because C I Host is HIPAA-compliant and has passed the SAS-70 audit, it can serve all health care and other companies that require the highest level of privacy and security controls in handling of information electronically.
The key features of the i-Agent program include:
Co-branded Marketing Materials – i-Agent participants receive a "How to Market Web Hosting" manual written by C I Host and full access to C I Host's training and agent site, complete with contracts, "How-To" manuals and tips on selling Web hosting services.
Fully Automated – The i-Agent program is completely automated with an online system designed for ease-of-use, security, and accuracy. i-Agent participants have 24-hour access to their account information via a customized, Web-based, graphical user interface that is designed to manage all aspects of the program. With a click of the mouse, i-Agent can view what sales have come in for a given period of time, see the amounts of commission awarded per account, see individual customer contact information for each order they sell and much more. i-Agent participants can set the system to notify them via e-mail when new accounts come in from their sales efforts. It's simple, automated and exclusive to C I Host.
Automated Sales Tacking – The i-Agent program is backed by C I Host’s automated sales tracking system that uses ‘cookies’ and hidden tags in its Web pages to track any visitor that comes to its Web site from an i-Agent landing page. Additionally, C I Host’s patent-pending technology ensures that even if the visitor browses its Web site and decides not to purchase immediately - no worries! The C I Host system will allow them to leave and come back to make a purchase up to 6 months later and the i-Agent will receive his or her full commission on that sale.
Partner Sales Support – All C I Host i-Agent participants receive dedicated account managers who will assist them with inside sales and customer support at any time.
Free Leads Provided – All C I Host i-Agent participants receive weekly lead lists of pre-qualified businesses and consumers who currently use Web hosting or who are actively looking for a Web hosting company.
Recurring Residual ‘life of customer’ Revenue – The more customers an i-Agent participant signs up the more money he or she will receive. The rate starts at 10 percent and increases to 15 percent after 51 accounts.
To be considered for the i-Agent program, an applicant must pay a one-time set-up fee, have access to the Internet and an e-mail address. Successful applicants will receive access to their i-Agent system upon verification of their credit card.
