Reminder: Don’t forget to check the timeline below to know when you can be promoted!
Partners can be promoted at the end of each quarter if they have met requirements from a higher competency level. Level demotions are only performed at the fiscal year end or when a new requirement is being reviewed. Partner levels are not adjusted outside the quarterly checkpoints.
Competency levels are built to reward partners who develop deep sales, technical and services skill sets to deliver successful customer stories across the Nutanix Portfolio.
We offer simplified pricing structures, deal registration, incentives and rebates that enable you to increase profits, revenues and margins while closing business faster.
