General Consultant Discussion

re: AccuPOS reclaiming their product from the jaws of Sage TL;DR: Good news we cut the price - including the margin that VARS will receive which is now zero. These folks are smoking some good shit. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/c42a64a3-12fd-4b92-aaac-5d78b8643ca4/41c1b42e0cf71ce07332b1c3e1489ba5

New bundles 50% lower for customers and margins 100% lower for partners. A win win (for customer and AccuPOS)!

Pass the bong... I'm going to need a hit before I ever recommend them.

It's only a matter of time before all software publishers eliminate reseller margins.

Is it saying that there are no margins at all or just that you won't get margin or tier credit from Sage? If it means no margin what so ever for partners, I'm with you, pass the bong, it's been a long day and my sciatic nerve is kicking up.

Pass the doobie... Let them hire $100k/year sales reps throughout the country and get on planes to sell $1,300 systems or try and do it remotely and integrate

Wow, ""I don't believe this has ever been your motivation."" Yes, we want to offer solutions to our customers but, seriously??

My interpretation is that there is no margin paid to the partner - either on the sale or on the maintenance. And I do agree with John that all publishers will eventually eliminate margin - the issue / question is when will the majority of prospects be willing to pay for pre-sales consulting?
