Preferred Partners - the path to success

Today's marketplace has never been more competitive. Companies must constantly generate greater efficiencies, offer better products and deliver superior customer service in order to survive and thrive. This is where Team Direct Line comes in.

Team Direct Line's Preferred Partner Program was developed to give your company the edge you need. True partnership is what makes the Preferred Partners Program such a success. The greater your commitment to us, the more we deliver to you.

What does the Preferred Partner Program mean to you?

Rising up through the levels of the Preferred Partner Program, you benefit from increasing market-leading support:

• Customized Buyer's Guides that promote your dealership with your information in it. There is no Team Direct Line identification in these books - they are truly your books. Your level of commitment to Direct Line will determine the number Buyer's Guides that are available for you to distribute to your customers and prospects. This is a proven revenue-generating tool, now in its second edition.
• Choose from one of four levels of access to a $475,000 Web site that is customized for you. It features all of the products in the Buyer's Guide and allows your customer to create a "shopping cart" to submit to you for quotation. Every page will have your contact information in it. Again, there is no Team Direct Line identification in the entire site.
• Heavy promotion for the Web site with all major search engines including Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL brings customers to your web site. Localized campaigns will ensure that customers in your area will find you.
• Team Direct Line has established training programs that will help you maximize your sales potential.

The tiered Preferred Partners Program gives you more support as you increase your sales and commitment. The result is a snowballing effect that grows your business.
