DEAR's Partner program is designed to help accountants, bookkeepers, and financial advisers gain a better understanding of DEAR and enable them to provide better service to clients requiring powerful inventory management software. DEAR partners share in the revenues we generate from their clients, enjoy unlimited free support, and can avail of DEAR product training at discounted rates. Moreover, our partners can influence DEAR's product design decisions.


NOTE: If a partner has been inactive (has not registered a new client for over 12 months), their partner status will be automatically converted from Implementation to Referral partner status. A partner can regain implementation partner status by registering three new organizations in one quarter. Once three new businesses have been registered in this timeframe, the partner can submit a request to get reinstated as an implementation partner.
