While selecting partners , we look at how they can grow together with us , their market expertise , the alignment of their business values with ours and their customer-first approaches to then design our plans for them accordingly by them . We fully understand that a one-size-fits-all approach seldom works and dedicated solutions focusing on SMBs need to be provided to them . The same applies to other aspects such as marketing , pricing and margins . Despite the heightened market pressure on smaller channel partners serving the SMB sector , TP-Link , together with its distribution partners , continually supports channel partners by offering them the best price points for the products and solutions whose demand is growing considerably .
We have initiated several effective initiatives like margin support to our resellers serving the Middle East ’ s SMB sector . Considering the current market conditions and business climate , it is critical that channel partners have the right products and solutions from TP- Link and its distribution partners to support SMBs comprehensively .
We work extensively with partners on the pipeline , help enable and empower their sales and technical teams . TP-Link provides continued training to ensure that they can deliver excellent IT infrastructure and surveillance solutions that are needed by SMBs to grow . We are committed to helping our partners mitigate some of these challenges by ensuring that they have the broadest SMB products portfolio . We are also adding new PoE switches and VIGI surveillance products to offer complete and comprehensive brand solutions that suit every small business . •
