Gold is more than a partner level

As a Gold Partner, you’ll get access to many exclusive benefits:

1. Gold status sets you apart from the competition
As a Gold Partner, you’ll be a member of an exclusive circle of leading Extreme Networks partners from your region. You’ll be qualified to tackle the most attractive projects for leading organisations from all relevant verticals. This presents you the opportunity to set yourself apart from the competition and to position yourself as a Trusted Advisor for your customers.

2. Secure marketing development funds
As a Gold-Level partner, you’re able to take part in Extreme Networks’ proposal-based MDF program. This lets you claim marketing support for joint activities to help you pave the way for future business growth.

3. Get the newest Extreme equipment at NFR rates
As a Gold Partner, get Extreme Networks equipment at a special discount. This helps you keep your showroom well-stocked and guarantees ample opportunity to extensively test the newest models.

4. Benefit from attractive discounts
Once you achieve Gold Status, you’ll be offered even more attractive discounts. Extreme Networks offers you attractive Growth Incentive Rebates, awards motivational Expertise Rebates if you successfully sell specific flagship SKUs and grants additional New Account Rebates if you successfully acquire new logos.

5. Make the most of Extreme’s Deal Registration Program - EDRP
The EDRP program rewards partners for exhibiting desired sales behaviours, bringing in new customer opportunities and providing value-selling by educating customers and prospects about Extreme.

6. Join the community and become a Champion or a Hero
Each year, Extreme recognises an elite community of partner individuals – either as a Champion - if they are from sales - or as a Hero - if they are from a technical team – and rewards them with attractive prizes. Ready to join this exclusive group?

Once you successfully qualify as an Extreme Networks Gold Partner, we’ll reward you with our exclusive Westcon Go for Golf Build-Out Bundle, worth over $250! It contains an exclusive golf shirt, warm golf socks and a practical backpack for your next golf vacation.
