San Francisco, CA (October 2, 2012) – Intelisys, the leading Master Agency of business communications services including voice, data, cloud and internet access, today announced it has loaned in excess of one million dollars to its telecom agents through the Intelisys Partner Investment Program.

The Partner Investment Program offers favorable terms for working capital to qualified Intelisys Sales Partners, allowing them to invest in growing their businesses without the hassle of dealing with banks. Financing is secured by existing or future commissions and loan repayment is triggered by flexible growth milestones. Exclusivity to Intelisys is not required to take advantage of the program.

“Our sales partners absolutely love the Partner Investment Program,” said Mike Ketchum, Vice President of Intelisys Finance.  “When we first started offering business loans back in the fall of 2010, we really did not know how much demand there would be or how our Partners might use the funds in order to grow their businesses.  What we have discovered is that Partners of all shapes and sizes have used this program for everything from hiring new employees to buying their office buildings.”

 “Reaching this milestone of over one million dollars loaned through the program is a reflection of our drive to help our top performing partners in new and strategic ways as they build best-in-class agencies,” said Jay Bradley, President of Intelisys. “At Intelisys, we continue to believe that the entire channel community has only scratched the surface of the opportunity to build thriving businesses, and this is just one more way we are literally investing in our Partners’ success.”

Intelisys has reached this impressive milestone just before its annual event Channel Connect, held at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco October 3-6. The event, like the Partner Investment Program, will focus on further developing Intelisys agents while providing networking opportunities and educational seminars on the latest technologies, especially cloud services.

“Intelisys is not just another Master Agent,” said Marc Agar of CA Communications, and Intelisys Sales Partner. “Intelisys is a Master Agent that will put their money where you need it most –  your business.  Now that’s a partnership that I want! By taking advantage of the Partner Investment Program, we accelerated the hiring of a VP of Operations, which helped alleviate the administrative work of our sales staff. This in turn accelerated our sales – a true win-win.”
