Local brand exclusivity to you as a partner
Being the only regional KPN partner in a demographic area can benefit the partner by providing exclusive territory, increased demand, improved credibility, better networking, and increased marketing opportunities.
By hand-picking KPN partners who have completed training with Painttech Training Academy, they have shown an extra level of interest in improving their business, share similar business morals, and are keen to work alongside the partners to grow the collective outcome for the network.
We will only allow additional KPN partners within your area ( roughly a 30 miles radius ) if one is in demand. Any potential new members will be discussed with the local partner at length before a new member is added. If your area becomes too busy and we have additional partners, you will be upgraded to KPN ambassador status (more benefits & details to follow).
Providing full Terms & Conditions
By offering the partner a copy of the KPN legal Terms & Conditions, the partner will be more confident in knowing that the T&Cs are the best they can be for their business. The T&Cs will ensure clarity of expectations, professionalism, evidence of an agreement, and standard operating procedures when dealing with clients. This can help improve the relationship between the partner and the client, provide peace of mind for both parties, reduce the risk of disputes, and increase confidence in the brand.
