pan Partner Program Overview
pan to Expand Marketplace Presence and Sales Through the pan Partner Program.
pan seeks consulting firms/HR service providers as partners in offering full-service online testing and assessment services to meet client selection
and development needs. We offer a mutually beneficial arrangement whereby (a) pan leverages partner’s marketplace presence and sales capabilities
and (b) partners leverage pan’s established technology platform, assessment capabilities and testing locations to expand the partner’s range of
services and increase billings.


pan Partner Value Proposition.
 • Increased revenue stream - pan Partners will benefit from potentially significant, and recurring, revenue streams.
 • Expanded portfolio of services - pan Partners will expand their range of products and services through the addition of pan’s comprehensive
   assessment tools and related services, web-enabled hosting of client/partner’s proprietary assessments, test center network, assessment-
   related human capital consulting, and Vita talent management system.
 • Comprehensive pan support - pan provides comprehensive training and marketing materials to help its partners better market and sell assessments.



                                                                                                                                                          2
How it Works
 • Partner runs own online assessment business (the private label opportunity) - The partner engages in a Partner Agreement with pan that provides
   the Partner with access to pan’s full range of assessments, assessment-related human capital consulting and technical support capabilities
   while maintaining the Partner’s position as the “owner” of their client. In effect, pan partners with you in configuring your own branded private
   label assessment service. pan will support you in selecting the appropriate mix of assessments, tests and surveys for inclusion on your pan
   hosted website (including your own proprietary assessments). pan will then continue to provide you with periodic training and updates on
   assessments and technical support. If need be, pan will also act as an expert subcontractor to the Partner providing technical consulting to
   your client in areas such as job analysis, competency modeling, test validation, etc.

Generating Multiple Sources of Revenue
The pan partner model is very flexible and allows the Partner to generate revenue through royalties, mark-ups, consulting fees, and referral fees.
  • Royalties – generated by the total volume of assessment revenue (based on pan’s list price and excluding any partner mark-up) run through
    your private label. It is assumed that the partner is intimately involved in all aspects of marketing, sales and follow-up.



                                                            Stepped Royalties Schedule
                             (Volume-driven, % of list price, paid monthly, based on pan’s fiscal year: January 1 – December 31)

                          <$50K             $50K – 99K               $100K – 199K                 $200 - 249K                 $250K
                          7%                   8%                        9%                        10%                        10%*

                                  *When $250K level is reached, the 10% rate automatically carries over into the next year.



  • Mark-ups – the Partner’s administrative fee, e.g. 10% or 15%, added to pan’s assessment product list price for assessments run through
    your private label.
  • Consulting Fees – client assessment projects often require up-front consulting. The Partner may choose to perform this consulting, or may
    choose to take advantage of pan’s specialized assessment-related consulting capabilities and use pan as a subcontractor. In the latter case,
    pan would invoice the Partner and the Partner would add their administrative fee and invoice the client.
  • Referral Fees – There are two referral levels depending on the partner’s degree of involvement in making the sale. It is assumed that the
    partner is not running the resultant assessments through a private label.
      • Referral - The Partner may choose to simply make a referral and introduction to a client who has indicated potential interest in pan’s
        services. Partner does not necessarily participate in sales calls or proposal generation. The referral fee would be 5% of the assessment revenue
        generated for the first 12 months of the client contract.
      • Solutions Partner Referral – The partner is actively involved in all aspects of marketing and sale to the client and follow-up. The referral fee
        would be 8% of the assessment revenue for the client’s first contract year and 5% per contract year thereafter.
      • Note - Referral fees are based on pan’s list price; the partner may not “mark-up” referral assessments.
  • Fee Payment – Excluding consulting fees, all fees due to the Partner will be paid monthly.

pan Partner Program Features
Scenario Examples - pan’s Partner Program makes the process of tracking assessment volumes, invoicing, payment and reporting as simple
and transparent as possible. Depending on your preferences, we can shape our process to meet your needs. A sample of likely scenarios follows:
  • Scenario 1 – Large Volume Private Label/Reseller: For a high volume operation, for example an HR or industry association with
    many thousands of members or a consulting firm partner with a large retail company client, it is likely that members would pay for
    assessments at the Partner’s private label site via corporate credit card. Partners may “mark-up” an assessment’s retail price to
    cover their administration cost. pan tracks all purchases and credits the Partner’s account with the appropriate royalty fee per order.


                                                          Example w/Partner Mark-Up:

                                                  Partner  Customer                                               Payment
                            pan Price       +10% Mark-Up = Purchase Price                Mark-up + Royalty        to Partner
                            $20.00          $2.00          $22.00                        $2.00 + $2.00 (e.g., 10%) = $4.00



The possibilities - Let’s use the above example and further assume that this industry association has 10,000 members and 1,000 members purchase
just 100 assessments each for selection purposes (e.g., selecting restaurant servers, retail sales, etc.), that’s 100,000 assessments X $4.00 each =
$400,000 in royalties. On a much smaller scale, if a consulting firm pan Partner has a client company in retail with 35,000 employees and 30,000
of these are working at the store level and there is 50% annual turnover, then that client will hire approximately 15,000 people per year. Let’s also
assume that on average two candidates will be assessed for every hire. Again using a partner royalty plus mark-up of $4.00 per assessment, that
would be $4.00 X 30,000 = $120,000 in annual royalties.
                                                                                                                                                           4
• Scenario 2 – Consulting Firm Pre-Orders and Pays for Assessments: Let’s assume an OD/training consulting firm uses its private label for
   development-oriented activities such as team-building, coaching and training. Assuming this is a highly targeted activity involving a fairly predictable
   number of people, the partner may want to directly order and pay for the assessments (minus their royalty; by credit card or through purchase
   order) and then invoice the client for the assessment plus any administrative mark-up.
 • Scenario 3 – Client Desires Targeted Selection Assessments for Key High Volume Positions: Assume the Partner has a client with a large
   operating/call center population and the client would like to reduce turnover and increase customer service. In effect, the client wants to do
   a much better job of matching candidates to these key jobs. The Partner hires pan as a subcontractor and pan’s Human Capital Consulting I/O
   psychologists conduct the technical work of job analysis, competency modeling, selection of an assessment or assessment battery, fine-tuning
   assessment factor weighting to maximize power as a selection tool, competency-based interview protocols, validation study and EEOC technical
   report preparation, etc. pan bills the Partner, the Partner adds their administrative mark-up and then bills the client. The candidate selection
   assessments would be run through the Partner’s private label and the partner would be credited as discussed in Scenario 1.

The possibilities – Let’s assume this client has 20,000 employees working in call center/operating center jobs and that there is 50% turnover
resulting in 10,000 hires per year with two candidates assessed per hire.

Again assuming royalties plus mark-up of $4.00 per assessment, that would be 20,000 assessments X $4.00 = $80,000. Now let’s factor in consulting.
Assume the Partner works closely with pan Human Capital Consulting on the technical work of job analysis, competency modeling, assessment
validation, and customized assessment scoring, etc. pan would invoice for technical subcontractor work, e.g., $25,000. The partner’s invoice to
their client would consist of the partner’s consulting fee plus pan’s consulting fee including the partner’s administrative fee mark-up


User Friendly Private Label Technology Platform
pan’s recently upgraded technology platform reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and ease of use for our clients and end-users. A
sampling of key features includes:
  • Client/partner empowerment – provides greater flexibility and control in the look, feel, and use of your specific platform.
  • Comprehensive reporting – provides complete overview and detailed reporting starting with individual assessment status up
    through client and partner level aggregation and summaries of assessment status, inventory, and sales.
  • Flexible pricing – includes pricing of assessment batteries (multiple tests/assessments), partner administrative fee mark-ups,
    discounts, and free trial assessments.
  • Custom assessment reports – assessment battery results can be combined into one custom report.
  • Private label content – can easily be changed to meet your needs.
  • Administrator’s console – configure your custom console to provide the information you need at a glance.

We offer a mutually beneficial arrangement whereby (a) pan leverages partner’s marketplace presence and sales capabilities and (b) partners leverage pan’s established technology platform, assessment capabilities and testing locations to expand the partner’s range of services and increase billings. pan Partner Value Proposition. • Increased revenue stream - pan Partners will benefit from potentially significant, and recurring, revenue streams. • Expanded portfolio of services - pan Partners will expand their range of products and services through the addition of pan’s comprehensive assessment tools and related services, web-enabled hosting of client/partner’s proprietary assessments, test center network, assessment- related human capital consulting, and Vita talent management system. • Comprehensive pan support - pan provides comprehensive training and marketing materials to help its partners better market and sell assessments. 2
  • 3. How it Works • Partner runs own online assessment business (the private label opportunity) - The partner engages in a Partner Agreement with pan that provides the Partner with access to pan’s full range of assessments, assessment-related human capital consulting and technical support capabilities while maintaining the Partner’s position as the “owner” of their client. In effect, pan partners with you in configuring your own branded private label assessment service. pan will support you in selecting the appropriate mix of assessments, tests and surveys for inclusion on your pan hosted website (including your own proprietary assessments). pan will then continue to provide you with periodic training and updates on assessments and technical support. If need be, pan will also act as an expert subcontractor to the Partner providing technical consulting to your client in areas such as job analysis, competency modeling, test validation, etc. Your Web-site Includes Your Private Label, Powered By pan Partner Web-site Leader Executive Team Building Assessments Devlopement Coaching Private Labels may be Cascaded Down Through Successive Layers Private Label Client 2 Client 3 Affiliate Partner Client 1 Private Label Private Label Private Label Client Private Label 3
  • 4. Generating Multiple Sources of Revenue The pan partner model is very flexible and allows the Partner to generate revenue through royalties, mark-ups, consulting fees, and referral fees. • Royalties – generated by the total volume of assessment revenue (based on pan’s list price and excluding any partner mark-up) run through your private label. It is assumed that the partner is intimately involved in all aspects of marketing, sales and follow-up. Stepped Royalties Schedule (Volume-driven, % of list price, paid monthly, based on pan’s fiscal year: January 1 – December 31) <$50K $50K – 99K $100K – 199K $200 - 249K $250K 7% 8% 9% 10% 10%* *When $250K level is reached, the 10% rate automatically carries over into the next year. • Mark-ups – the Partner’s administrative fee, e.g. 10% or 15%, added to pan’s assessment product list price for assessments run through your private label. • Consulting Fees – client assessment projects often require up-front consulting. The Partner may choose to perform this consulting, or may choose to take advantage of pan’s specialized assessment-related consulting capabilities and use pan as a subcontractor. In the latter case, pan would invoice the Partner and the Partner would add their administrative fee and invoice the client. • Referral Fees – There are two referral levels depending on the partner’s degree of involvement in making the sale. It is assumed that the partner is not running the resultant assessments through a private label. • Referral - The Partner may choose to simply make a referral and introduction to a client who has indicated potential interest in pan’s services. Partner does not necessarily participate in sales calls or proposal generation. The referral fee would be 5% of the assessment revenue generated for the first 12 months of the client contract. • Solutions Partner Referral – The partner is actively involved in all aspects of marketing and sale to the client and follow-up. The referral fee would be 8% of the assessment revenue for the client’s first contract year and 5% per contract year thereafter. • Note - Referral fees are based on pan’s list price; the partner may not “mark-up” referral assessments. • Fee Payment – Excluding consulting fees, all fees due to the Partner will be paid monthly. pan Partner Program Features Scenario Examples - pan’s Partner Program makes the process of tracking assessment volumes, invoicing, payment and reporting as simple and transparent as possible. Depending on your preferences, we can shape our process to meet your needs. A sample of likely scenarios follows: • Scenario 1 – Large Volume Private Label/Reseller: For a high volume operation, for example an HR or industry association with many thousands of members or a consulting firm partner with a large retail company client, it is likely that members would pay for assessments at the Partner’s private label site via corporate credit card. Partners may “mark-up” an assessment’s retail price to cover their administration cost. pan tracks all purchases and credits the Partner’s account with the appropriate royalty fee per order. Example w/Partner Mark-Up: Partner Customer Payment pan Price +10% Mark-Up = Purchase Price Mark-up + Royalty to Partner $20.00 $2.00 $22.00 $2.00 + $2.00 (e.g., 10%) = $4.00 The possibilities - Let’s use the above example and further assume that this industry association has 10,000 members and 1,000 members purchase just 100 assessments each for selection purposes (e.g., selecting restaurant servers, retail sales, etc.), that’s 100,000 assessments X $4.00 each = $400,000 in royalties. On a much smaller scale, if a consulting firm pan Partner has a client company in retail with 35,000 employees and 30,000 of these are working at the store level and there is 50% annual turnover, then that client will hire approximately 15,000 people per year. Let’s also assume that on average two candidates will be assessed for every hire. Again using a partner royalty plus mark-up of $4.00 per assessment, that would be $4.00 X 30,000 = $120,000 in annual royalties. 4
  • 5. • Scenario 2 – Consulting Firm Pre-Orders and Pays for Assessments: Let’s assume an OD/training consulting firm uses its private label for development-oriented activities such as team-building, coaching and training. Assuming this is a highly targeted activity involving a fairly predictable number of people, the partner may want to directly order and pay for the assessments (minus their royalty; by credit card or through purchase order) and then invoice the client for the assessment plus any administrative mark-up. • Scenario 3 – Client Desires Targeted Selection Assessments for Key High Volume Positions: Assume the Partner has a client with a large operating/call center population and the client would like to reduce turnover and increase customer service. In effect, the client wants to do a much better job of matching candidates to these key jobs. The Partner hires pan as a subcontractor and pan’s Human Capital Consulting I/O psychologists conduct the technical work of job analysis, competency modeling, selection of an assessment or assessment battery, fine-tuning assessment factor weighting to maximize power as a selection tool, competency-based interview protocols, validation study and EEOC technical report preparation, etc. pan bills the Partner, the Partner adds their administrative mark-up and then bills the client. The candidate selection assessments would be run through the Partner’s private label and the partner would be credited as discussed in Scenario 1. The possibilities – Let’s assume this client has 20,000 employees working in call center/operating center jobs and that there is 50% turnover resulting in 10,000 hires per year with two candidates assessed per hire. Again assuming royalties plus mark-up of $4.00 per assessment, that would be 20,000 assessments X $4.00 = $80,000. Now let’s factor in consulting. Assume the Partner works closely with pan Human Capital Consulting on the technical work of job analysis, competency modeling, assessment validation, and customized assessment scoring, etc. pan would invoice for technical subcontractor work, e.g., $25,000. The partner’s invoice to their client would consist of the partner’s consulting fee plus pan’s consulting fee including the partner’s administrative fee mark-up User Friendly Private Label Technology Platform pan’s recently upgraded technology platform reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and ease of use for our clients and end-users. A sampling of key features includes: • Client/partner empowerment – provides greater flexibility and control in the look, feel, and use of your specific platform. • Comprehensive reporting – provides complete overview and detailed reporting starting with individual assessment status up through client and partner level aggregation and summaries of assessment status, inventory, and sales. • Flexible pricing – includes pricing of assessment batteries (multiple tests/assessments), partner administrative fee mark-ups, discounts, and free trial assessments. • Custom assessment reports – assessment battery results can be combined into one custom report. • Private label content – can easily be changed to meet your needs. • Administrator’s console – configure your custom console to provide the information you need at a glance. pan’s Secure Technology Platform Data Warehouse Firewall Application Service Cluster Reporting, Testing, etc. Firewall Web Server Cluster pan Services Portal 5
