Key Benefits of the Recommendation Service
- Enhanced Reseller Image: Stand out as a preferred partner for vendors by offering comprehensive solutions beyond primary products. This service lets you maintain your authorizations and improve your attractiveness to vendors by selling additional services alongside main offerings.
- Increased Sales Volume: Drive more product sales initiated by the platform. The Recommendation Service allows customers to independently purchase subscriptions based on tailored suggestions, leading to increased revenue opportunities.
- Promotion of Reseller Services: Add value to vendor products by integrating your own services. This feature helps promote your unique offerings and distinguishes your business from a competitive market.
- Improved Customer Loyalty: By simplifying the search for suitable products, the Recommendation Service enhances user experience, making it easier for customers to find what they need. This convenience fosters loyalty and satisfaction.
- Personalized Sales Approach: Capitalize on the power of personalization. The Recommendation Service tailors its suggestions based on the customer's previous purchases, ensuring the recommendations are relevant and likely to meet their needs.
With ActivePlatform, you can sell dozens of cloud products from the largest vendors like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. You can even sell your own cloud services!
How the Recommendation Service Works
- Manual Configuration in the Operator Control Panel: Resellers manually set up recommendations within a new section. For any given "primary" product, resellers can add "featured" products. It allows you to combine main offerings with multiple additional products that enhance the overall value.
- Automated Recommendations Based on Subscriptions: Once the featured products are set up, the platform automatically recommends these to customers who have a subscription to the primary product. This smart pairing ensures that recommendations are highly relevant and targeted, increasing the likelihood of additional sales.
- Visibility on Key Customer Touchpoints: These product recommendations are displayed on the main page of the Customer Control Panel and the detailed subscription pages. You can also add them to any subscription-related email notifications. This strategic placement ensures maximum visibility, prompting customers to consider additional products at optimal points in their journey.
