A-List Partner Requirements

Arista's program requirements are designed for ease of doing business with no revenue requirements, no costly site surveys and no required technology specializations. The A-List program requires a value-add sales model which means fewer partners and no on-line only retailers setting street price expectations. These value-add requirements include:

Outbound face-to-face sales model. No auction websites, online only retailers, telesales or catalog only sales

Pre and post sales support with network design, configuration and trouble shooting

Drive a significant portion of overall revenue with complementary products as a solution sale
