We are excited to add even more tools and content to our partner resources for your selling and marketing efforts.

Labdisc Resources
n addition to the newly updated product page, we have added several rebranded resources for the Labdisc product. You now have access to 4 white papers, 5 case studies, and a sample activity PDF, which you can find under “Resources” on the product pages. The case studies and white papers are also available on the White Papers and Case Study section of the website.

The activities PDF offers science experiment ideas for various grade levels and disciplines. All of these will assist in presenting Labdisc as part of the Boxlight family.

Our shipping facilities* will be closed October 3, 2016 - October 7, 2016 in order to complete inventory counts. We will make every effort to ship all orders that are in stock and received by September 29, 2016, before the counts start. Shipping will resume on October 10, 2016.

Established in late 2000, GDI’s roots are in education technology, having signed on as Mimio’s first partner in early 2001. From the beginning, our mission has been to deliver value to our dealers.

As a value-added distributor focused primarily on the Classroom Technology segment, our   commitment has always been to provide premium pre and post sales support to all our dealers through our extensive knowledge base gained by having served the dealer community in education technology for over 15 years. From providing recommendations on product solutions, to assisting with deal registrations, we provide a suite of services unmatched in the traditional world of distribution. When coupled with our strong logistics network, deep inventories across all our product categories, and the ability to provide same day shipping, we have positioned ourselves to be a valued resource intimately tied to our dealer’s success.

We now carry the full line of Boxlight Mimio products from interactive panels, projectors and whiteboards to collaboration software to tablets, doc cam’s and assessment tools, and can recommend the right product to match up with your customers needs. In short we understand the Interactive Classroom Technology space and can leverage that expertise to help grow your business.

We look forward to partnering with you.

Boxlight Mimio is pleased to announce that the updated Sales Opportunity Registration (SOR) form based on the Boxlight Mimio consolidated price list is now LIVE!   Boxlight Mimio partners can now submit a Sales Opportunity Registration for any product on the Boxlight Mimio price list.

The purpose of Sales Opportunity Registration is to insure that the Boxlight Mimio partner that develops an opportunity is able to close the opportunity without competition from other Boxlight Mimio partners.   Our competitors are Smart, Promethean, Epson etc., not other Boxlight Mimio partners.  A win by any Boxlight Mimio partner should be viewed as a win for all Boxlight Mimio partners.   The Boxlight Mimio SOR process was developed by Mimio and is considered to be one of the best sales opportunity registration programs in the industry.

For former Boxlight partners and new Boxlight Mimio partners that are not familiar with the Sales Opportunity Registration process, following is a brief overview:

• A partner must include an approved SOR number on all purchase orders.
  • Order entry will verify the SOR number when processing orders and reject any order without an approved SOR.
  • With an approved SOR, the partner cost is the discounted partner price on the price list.
  • Without an approved SOR, the partner cost is either the Commercial MSRP price or the GOV/ED RRSP price.
• A registration should be submitted via the Partner Portal as soon as you have identified and qualified a sales opportunity.
  • If the Boxlight Mimio Regional Manager approves the SOR, you will receive an “APPROVED” email with an SOR number to be included on your PO.
  • If the Boxlight Mimio Regional Manager disapproves the SOR, you will receive a “DECLINED” email.
• An approved SOR may be updated and/or extended with the approval of the Boxlight Mimio Regional Manager.
  • Approved SORs are valid for a specified time; If the opportunity is not closed within the specified time, the SOR expires and is no longer valid.
  • Partners are solely responsible for updating and/or extending an approved SOR.
• Keep It Simple!   A new SOR is not required for the following
  • Accessories (bulbs, pens, power cords, etc.) may be ordered using the most recently approved SOR number for that customer regardless of the current status of that SOR (expired, closed, etc.).
  • An approved SOR should be updated/extended and used for follow-on orders associated with large projects.
    
    

Please contact your Regional Manager or GDI, if you have any questions about Sales Opportunity Registration.

Thank you for being a Boxlight Mimio partner and Good Selling!

We have been working to get Partner Resources streamlined and representative of the new unified Boxlight brand. While this is still a work in progress we have added many new resources to assist you

Below is a list of the Partner Resources updates along with upcoming Marketing initiatives and campaigns:

 

1. New Modular Demo – Mimio had a demo in the past that outlined our value proposition, products, and resources. The old modular demo has been removed and the new one is up, http://www.mimio.com/en-NA/Partner-Resources/Sales-Demo-Material.aspx . This demo is cobranded and includes both Boxlight and Mimio products. It is modeled on the new collateral and website highlighting how our solutions help schools with whole-class, collaborative, assessment, and STEM based learning. The Demo is an INK file and has lesson samples for each learning group.
   
   
2. Ads, Awards, and Logos – These are up now with our latest branding and consolidated for both companies.
   
   
3. Coming Soon to Partner Resources – We are working on new brand guidelines, completing the product photos and sell sheets for Boxlight products, and adding Boxlight videos to the video section. This will help you and your partners have all the resources for Mimio and Boxlight products in one area. In the meantime, if you need something let me know and I can help you.
   
   
4. New Website – We are working through the product pages and should have the new product pages up by early September. The Chat Support which is on the old Boxlight site will be live on the new site this week.
   
   
5.  P12 Laser Campaign – Now that Back to School is in full swing we will re announce the P12 projectors to customers, with a focus on the laser models. Emails will go out to our internal list next week.
