Voice solution provider Peerless Network recently unveiled it Peerless Maximizer, a portal for channel partners to set their own pricing and maximize commissions. With this portal, agents can earn up to 50 percent or more in residual commission on every SIP trunking and UCaaS deal with Peerless Network, said the brand. In the Peerless Maximizer, agents build unique pricing profiles for custom - ers and prospects. Then, channel partners set their own percentage markups for Peerless products, such as cloud PBX, SIP trunking, DID, toll- free and CPE lease MRCs, which are easily calculated in the portal. After the percentage markup, agents have the capability to add customized services and line pricing to quotes.  “Peerless Maximizer simplifies the quoting process and provides a platform for agents to control the pricing for their business,” said Ryan Patterson, vice presi- dent of channel sales at Peerless Network. “We offer multiple service terms within one pricing profile, including month-to-month, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month terms, to give agents the flexibility they need to drive their business.” “In a work-from-anywhere climate, agents are able to leverage our PBX catalogue with built-in-lease pricing markup capabilities for any device, includ- ing desk phones, conference phones, cordless phones and accessories,” added Rick Knight, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Peerless Network.
