The VAR Guy is saying hello (again) to Brett Martin, founder of Exigo Group. Our resident blogger has followed Martin’s career across the IT channel for several years. Martin’s current focus at Exigo Group involves a portal that allows vendors to deliver sales and marketing tools to their channel partners. Here’s the scoop.

According to Martin, the Exigo Group Partner Portal is designed to accelerate a vendor’s partner program. It includes…

  • Sales Tools

  • Marketing Materials

  • Technical Resources

  • Logos and instructions on how to leverage your companies brand

  • Latest News and Announcements

  • Reseller Feedback

  • Newsletter Email Communication

  • Company Blog

  • Discussion Forums

Plus, an optional CRM module offers…

  • Deal Registration

  • Lead Management

  • Opportunity Management

  • Pipeline Management

  • Proposal Generation

  • Closed Loop Sales Process

More Than Consulting

No doubt, the IT channel is filled with consultants who help vendors build their partner programs. Also, numerous social media sites allow solutions providers to find one another and network up with vendors. Prime examples include PartnerPedia and various channel groups on FaceBook and LinkedIn.

But Exigo Group’s efforts seem to blend Partner Relationship Management with social media. Martin gave The VAR Guy a demo of Exigo Group’s Partner Portal a few weeks ago and our resident blogger was impressed.

Still, it’s time for some full disclosure: The VAR Guy might be a bit biased toward Martin. Our resident blogger allegedly went to grade school with Martin’s wife, somewhere out on Long Island’s Gold Coast. Yes, The VAR Guy is an educated guy … at least through sixth grade.
