These are Suppliers who Intelisys has not done a full launch with. There are three primary reasons that a supplier would be in this group.
Assigned Contract: In the circumstance where the relationship with that supplier was initially forged with another agent and Intelisys subsequently purchased their contracts, thereby giving us access to the portfolio. If we did not negotiate the agreement, we will not do a full launch without ensuring that the agreement meets our contractual requirements. Given proven performance and Sales Partner interest, we will ensure that the contract meets our standards and move these suppliers to a full launch.
Specific Opportunity: We brought the supplier into the portfolio for a specific opportunity, we generally feel that the partnership has potential, but wish to see the supplier prove their ability to perform and generate a ground-swell of Sales Partner interest prior to doing a full launch.
Intelisys Business Decision
For these suppliers, we do have an existing contractual relationship with them and processes are in place for commissions to be paid. These Suppliers will work diligently to earn your business and provide a good partner and customer experience.
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.”

Petaluma, CA (November 8, 2011) – Intelisys, the leading Master Agency of business telecommunications services including voice, data and Internet access, today announced it has become a member of the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley, joining the ranks of HP, AT&T, Microsoft, Sony and many more.
According to their website, the Telecom Council is “a business tool that connects decision-makers across the telecom ecosystem – big and small, fixed and wireless – with each other.” The Council boasts 17,000 subscribers, and holds more than 35 meetings that put the most influential telecom companies in the same room to share ideas, capital and expertise.
“We are delighted to become members of the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley and look forward to building relationships with some of the most innovative companies and startups in telecom and technology,” said Dana Topping, Co-owner of Intelisys. “Through participating in their meetings and events, we will get the most cutting edge information about advances in the industry, especially concerning 4G, Cloud and Cable technologies.”
Intelisys has been invited to attend the Council by participating and attending meetings during the past year, and recently decided to make its membership official.
“Participating in the Telecom Council will mean even better training and information for our Sales Partner Agents,” said Jay Bradley, President of Intelisys. “Our Value-Added Resellers (VARS) and Solution Providers will also greatly benefit by the gains in knowledge and network this group will provide. We are looking forward to passing along the benefits to all parties associated with Intelisys.”
“The Telecom Council is a valuable tool because our members all bring very important contributions to our discussions.Intelisys is no different – they will use their unique expertise to impact the telecom industry.” said Liz Kerton, President of the Telecom Council of Silicon Valley. “As a telecom master agent, they are the only company of their kind in the Council, and enhancing our diversity in this way will benefit our entire membership.”

The Channel’ s first program to offer new and existing Intelisys Sales Partners opportunities to secure commissions flow shortly after the sale.
Petaluma, CA– Intelisys Communications, Inc., the nation’s leading master agency distributor of business communications services today announced an innovative new program to put commissions in the hands of its sales partners in a fraction of the time it typically takes.
“Another first of its kind program from Intelisys, the Advanced Commissions Program was the logical next innovation stemming from the great success of our Partner Investment Program launched last fall,” said Mike McKenney, Intelisys Vice President of Partner Sales & Business Development. “This program directly attacks the age old challenge of bridging the cash flow gap between when a new agent launches their agency and when commissions start to flow which previously could be 4-6 months from time of sale,” added McKenney.
The program offers a very quick application process and is available to all qualified Intelisys contracted Sales Partners. The advanced monthly commissions are secured by future commissions. Intelisys will advance monthly residual commissions from the time orders are accepted by Suppliers into service delivery. This will provide Sales Partners funds 4-6 months faster than the industry standard commission delivery process. The initial launch of the program will be offered to the first 50 Sales Partners that enroll by Oct 31, 2011.“The Advanced Commissions Program is another Intelisys exclusive program focused on the success of our Sales Partners. It is an indication of our commitment to our Sales Partner community coupled with the confidence we have in them,” said Rick Ribas, Intelisys Vice President of Partner Sales & Business Development.
“This Advanced Commissions Program further reinforces our desire to leverage Intelisys strengths to ensure our Sales Partners’ success. We believe the investment Intelisys makes in our partners’ businesses is one of the best bets going in today’s economy,” said Dana Topping, Co-Owner of Intelisys.
