Alternative Technology, Inc. Offers New Enhancements to Customer Partner Program


Englewood, CO, March 13, 2003 - Alternative Technology, one of North America's premiere value-added distributors announced today enhancements to its Customer Partner Program for value-added resellers (VARs).

Now in its second year, Alternative Technology has made many enhancements to the program, including the addition of Universal Vouchers. At their Partner Level, members\ have the opportunity to earn one Universal Voucher for every $50,000 (U.S.) in product, training or service purchased from Alternative Technology. Universal Vouchers can be used for Alternative Technology technical education, engineering services, or marketing development funds.

"We want to create a program that offers true value for our resellers and gives them the opportunity to take advantage of program benefits or pass them through to their customers," stated William R. Botti, President and COO for Alternative Technology. "Our program allows resellers to evaluate new technology products offering higher margins, and utilizes our technical experts for educational classes or engineering services with minimal costs involved. The goal is to increase our customers' bottom line by either increasing their overall margins or decreasing their expenses. Our program enhancements accomplish both of these things, " he added.

Alternative Technology implemented a Customer Partner Program in 2002 with the goal of offering VARs greater value and more benefits based on orders placed through the company. During the first year, members of the program were able to leverage their selling power, train their existing staff and directly increase revenue to their bottom line.

"Since the time we became a partner, Alternative Technology has helped us see alternative ways of bringing products and services to our customers by pointing out new products that compliment what we do," said Stacy Wright from Southern Network Services, Inc. "It is not just a vendor/reseller relationship; we are truly partners with Alternative Technology."
