Other than hardware, do you know what other added value you should expect from a WISP partner? There are a variety of tools and services that you should look for in a good distribution partner for your WISP business.

 

We've interviewed CEOs, Presidents, and Owners of some of the most successful WISPs in the industry to get their thoughts on their distribution partners and see how that relationship aided in the success of their WISP.

 

From our many interviews, we've created a WISP Essentials Guide: 10 Keys to Success from Industry Leaders. This guide is full of little nuggets of information on how to become a successful WISP business. You can download the full guide here or keep reading for a small snippet of Key #10: Choose the Right Partner for Your WISP.

 

"You don’t need to do this alone! There is invaluable help available if you take the time to reach out. As noted in the previous key, a good VAR or distribution partner can offer a lot to your WISP, including:

  • Product Sourcing
  • Product Information
  • Network Design
  • Financing
  • Technical Services
  • Training Classes
  • Technical and Networking Events

 

"Beyond what your partner offers, is how they provide it. This gets into the quality of customer service. After all, isn’t that what “Value Added” means?"
