Looking to Secure a Certification? Here’s Why You Need to Find a Company You (and Your Clients) Can Really Trust!
Minimum Sales Quotas, Subpar Software Education and Unhelpful Support are a Huge Turnoff...
So you’re interested in gaining a software certification to prove your marketing and technical chops for potential clients….a wise decision indeed! But after doing a bit of online searching, have you found yourself hesitant to follow through with any of the programs you’ve learned about?
Maybe after digging a little deeper, you found out that you’d have to satisfy a minimum sales quota to stay certified, so instead of spending your time supporting and strategizing with clients, you’d need to devote your time to selling. After becoming certified, you find that what seemed from the outside to be a qualification process to train you to provide higher quality services to software users actually turned out to be a front for an annoying membership program that you can only stay in by meeting your sales quota! And retaining customers on this model doesn’t turn out to be easy.

Was That a Right Fit?
After being pushed to sell, you might now be wondering whether or not the company you’ve partnered with really cares if the software is the right fit for your clients. Not all your clients are the right match for the software in which you got certified, and you don’t have any other options to refer them to - especially since you need to meet that sales quota. Maybe you’re wishing that you knew more about alternative software solutions so that you could suggest the right fit for all your clients.
Finally, after watching their support team let both you and your clients down repeatedly, you’re forced to pick up the slack and spend more time on basic implementation and troubleshooting.

Whatever Happened to Partnering with a Strong Brand That You’d Feel Comfortable Recommending to Your Leads and Clients?
Instead of spending your days coming up with exciting new marketing strategies, creating new assets for clients, or streamlining their business processes, you’re forced to deal with all of their questions about the software because the software support team is simply unresponsive to them. Forget trusting them to support you in onboarding new clients! You might be frustrated at their lack of a dedicated feedback channel - you wish you had a way to coordinate with them so you’d feel more comfortable sending leads and new clients their way, but so far you’re not even sure you can trust them with that.
It’s Easier to Be Misled by a Certification Program Than You’d Expect.
If you’ve found yourself stuck in a Certification Program that let you down, don’t be too hard on yourself! It can actually be quite difficult to tell from the outside whether or not a program really does live up to its big promises.
It doesn’t help that the details about your required minimum quotas and other restrictions always seem to be buried deep in the fine print.

You really had to know your stuff because the test was actually difficult enough that a few people didn’t pass!” It’s true - not everyone passes the ONTRAPORT Certification Exam on their first try.

Becoming a Certified Consultant without the requirement of meeting a minimum sales or retention quote allows you to focus on finding a solution that truly fits each one of your clients, rather than pushing a system for which they’re not a fit.

Partnering with a company that truly provides excellent support and implementation services to your clients for free will lift the burden from you so that you can spend more time working on strategy and creative projects for clients.
