AcceleTrex™ is an automated platform and record of truth
We’re a technology and business ecosystem of innovative technology vendors and independent market experts
We are a Referral Exchange that brings innovation, industry experts, and buyers together for rapid market awareness and adoption.
Referral programs have been around since the beginning of time, but an automated three-way relationship between vendors, market experts and customers were not organized or properly incentivized. AcceleTrex™ brings all three together, and that's why we say: AcceleTrex™ Your Network.
Vendor Benefits
THERE'S A WAY TO STAND ABOVE
A $10 billion addressable market is exciting, but time and the cost(s) of customer acquisition are extremely concerning for most CEOs. That said, the truth is next-generation technology is only fully understood by high IT-IQ practitioners and professional salespeople. Because without context into multilayered legacy and cloud-architecture/infrastructure, how are innovative solutions measured against existing workflows?
So, if headcount costs are rising and the channel isn’t willing to embrace your technology, how can you affordably sell into 32 NFL cities within a reasonable period of time? This is what the exchange is for, and what we call “AcceleTrexing Your Network.”
