Chief Launches Certified Partner Program (30/6/2010)

Chief’s new Certified Partner Program gives dealers and custom installers a competitive edge.

Chief Manufacturing, the industry leader in AV mounting solutions, is excited to announce the launch of the industry’s first certification program for mount solutions.

The Certified Partner Program offers interactive product and installation training to improve customers’ business results, differentiate their business and improve overall mount product knowledge. Customers completing the course will receive exclusive benefits from Chief as well as earn InfoComm CTS RUs and CEDIA CEUs.

With over 3500 development hours invested, the program features over 13 hours of content and 46 videos featuring Chief products and installation solutions divided into two tracks—one for those who install or deal with technical aspects, and one for dealers or sales people focusing on configuring solutions or selling product. Each track is focused on their specific needs and walks them through scenarios in common applications, such as home theaters, classrooms, hotel lobbies, corporate offices, etc. Participants in the program should expect to complete an entire track in approximately three-to-six hours. Many modules take 30 minutes or less to complete so users can come back as often as they need to until the entire track is completed.

“Putting together the Certified Partner Program with our customers has been extremely beneficial,” said Laurie Englert, Chief Marketing Director. “They not only helped to define the framework of the program, but their input has helped us customize each and every module to ensure we are zeroing in on what they need to know to make their installs faster, their specifying easier and overall improve their business results.”

‘Moving forward we will be adding solutions-based interactive simulations using various applications including Mountbuilder our product configuration tool “. Englert continues “the objective is to add more interactive learning techniques allowing users to tailor make solution aimed for his or her specific market."
