The recently launched Olivetti
Gateway Partner Programme is an
innovative programme designed to
recruit enthusiastic business people
who wish to run their own company
and are interested in becoming first-
time Olivetti dealers. The Gateway
Programme aims to build a new
generation of Olivetti resellers with
flair and vitality and, those who join
will receive all of the help, support
and direction they need to succeed.
Some 15 years ago, Olivetti launched
a similar new dealer start-up programme.
Many of the dealerships that came on
board then are still successfully trading
today. A high number are recognised as
Olivetti’s best achievers and positioned in
Olivetti’s Elite League, running profitable
businesses, often with more than one
local branch or showroom, well managed
sales and service teams and an extensive
customer base.
These Elite dealerships are the
successful role models on which the
Gateway Partner Programme is based. It is
designed to enable Olivetti to reach out to
the next generation of entrepreneurs who
want to control their own business destiny,
but are concerned about how they achieve
their goals.
Full support
The Olivetti Gateway Programme will
allow participants to build a new business
knowing that they have the resources
behind them to succeed.
The Gateway Package offers a wide
choice of support options to suit a broad
spectrum of applicants – people coming
into the industry for the first time may have
nothing but a bank loan and a business
plan; while others may already have some
experience in business equipment sales or
service for example.
Whatever their individual needs are,
Olivetti will guide each Gateway dealer
through the programme contract and its
terms and conditions. This protects both
Olivetti and the Gateway dealer and
ensures that all aspects of the business are
understood and can be managed.
Financial management and
administration are crucial areas for any
Gateway partner. As well as helping the
Gateway dealer through the business
planning process, Olivetti can offer
expert advice to ensure that accounts
and finances are in order. In this way
Olivetti can help the Gateway dealer
stay financially secure and start to build
towards a healthy profit, while maintaining
regular payments to its suppliers.
