Partner Program FAQ
Is there a cost to join the partner program?
There is no fee to join. Partnership is based on meeting minimum purchase commitments and completing training requirements. We invest in partners who invest in growing their AngleLock business.
Can I sell both 80/20 and AngleLock?
Yes. Many partners continue to offer T-slot solutions for applications where it makes sense, while positioning AngleLock for applications that demand superior performance. We don't require exclusivity at the Authorized or Preferred levels.
What territory protection is available?
Territory exclusivity is available at the Premier Partner level for partners who meet volume commitments. At other levels, we work to minimize channel conflict and ensure fair lead distribution.
How long does it take to become certified?
Most partners complete initial training and certification within 2-4 weeks. This includes online modules, hands-on training, and a certification assessment. We work around your schedule.
What if I'm a small operation?
We welcome businesses of all sizes. The Authorized Partner level is designed for smaller operations or those just getting started with AngleLock. Grow at your own pace and advance tiers as your business expands.
Do you provide leads?
Yes. Preferred and Premier partners receive qualified leads in their territory. When customers contact us directly, we refer them to our local partners for design assistance, quotes, and service.
