ValueExpert™ Consulting Partners

The Alinean ValueExpert™ Consulting Partner Program

This program was launched to offer training and a unique business opportunity to sales and marketing professionals affected by the economy.

Current economic conditions have been tough on many sales, marketing and consulting professionals. For those who have been affected by reductions in force, there is no better time to take control and start a business. To help with such entrepreneurial vision, Alinean has launched the ValueExpert™ Consulting Partner Program - to harness the expertise of the business value selling, marketing and consulting community - and open up the doors of opportunity and drive new innovation in interactive offerings.

Now more than ever, organizations are looking for ways to more effectively market, sell and deliver their products and solutions to frugal buyers. As an example, interactive marketing and sales tools are becoming the centerpiece of many corporate web sites to attract prospects to uncover the benefits of their solutions, guide prospects to the right solution, make a quantifiable business case as to the value of proposed solutions, and provide quantifiable proof of competitive cost advantages. These value-based proof points are an absolute requirement in tight economic times as frugal buyers demand proof prior to making any investment. The Alinean Authorized ValueExpert™ Consulting Partner Program enables consulting professionals to establish a business providing these types of sales, consulting and/or other decision support tools to enable IT vendors and/or other markets.

Central to the consulting program is Alinean’s EnterpriseROI™ SaaS platform. The Software-as-a-Service platform enables Consulting Partners to quickly create web-based interactive tools with no programming necessary. For a limited time, Alinean is providing special incentives with access and training to the EnterpriseROI™ platform. Training classes teach consultants how to use Excel® to define and model a tool concept and then how to format this model to automatically create interactive-web based tools with the platform. Alinean also provides business development workshops to enhance skills on how to best position, market and sell these offerings.
