Grow your business

Services and support suited to your goals

Many traditional distributors give you an endless supply of cloud solutions to choose from, but unlimited choices don’t necessarily help you save time and money. We stick to proven products and services and tailor the best solution to fit both your goals and your clients’ needs.

Delve into an entire suite of partner services, benefits and programs to support your clients’ digital transformation and take your business even further.

Grow your business

Bundling

One of the best ways to meet a variety of customer needs is bundling your services. You can combine multiple solutions based on related IT functions to offer them complete packages of strategic managed services.

A bundle strategy can help you demonstrate added value to customers and increase your revenue and profit margins.

As a Sherweb partner, we advise you on how to combine your own services (like consulting, product training or technical support) with a product, such as Microsoft 365. Your Account Manager will be ready to answer any questions you may have and provide you with resources to help you build your own bundle.

You can also leverage our ready-made bundles that are unique to the market. Check them out:

Microsoft
Google
Acronis
Veeam
SentinelOne
Microsoft 365
Azure
Quickbooks Online
Trend Micro
Bitdefender
Nerdio
Proofpoint
Office Protect
Dynamics
Malwarebytes
PerformanceCloud

Productivity bundle

Many of our partners use our productivity bundle to boost their margins with Microsoft 365, establish closer customer relationships and leverage easy upsell opportunities. This offer includes add-on solutions for security, backup and eLearning with selected Microsoft 365 plans, for the same price as our regular Microsoft 365 plans.

Microsoft Office applications, professional email services, cloud storage, intelligent tools for streamlining operations and advanced analytics and security features.

Not-for-Resale (NFR) program

It’s important to be able to take our cloud products for a test drive. It makes it a lot easier to pitch and resell them to your clients because you’re already using them yourself.

Our NFR program is available for all our partners. It allows you to use many of our cloud products in your own business for free or at a discounted price. This will help you better understand how they work and fill a gap for clients. You can also create bundles and cross-selling opportunities once you start selling so you can generate more revenue.

Marketing Program Learn. Engage. Thrive

Learn more about our marketing program

“The Marketing Program was an excellent way to push us to do our first in-person event. The training that was provided as well as the content allowed us to create a deck that made it easy to present our Office 365 offering to potential customers. Out of 9 people that showed up to our event, we closed 5 of them within 2 weeks. The MDF funds allowed us to ensure we had an event hall, food, presentation materials and giveaway content that kept us in mind when the potential customer left our presentation. It was a pivotal moment for us that brought on more customers at one time that we normally bring on naturally in 6 months.”
