12. Before we go
forward
As we are a small company (and so are
you), the availability of our time and
personnel is limited. We will commit to
offer you the support you need but ask that
you please ensure that you are confident
about the voyage you are about to embark
on for we will be dedicating our team to
help you become a success.
We operate on the principle that a mutual
respect is acknowledged regarding the
time and effort that we dedicate to each
other and that we keep to our
commitments made regarding planned
future activities.
The 1-per-month rule
We advise all partners considering Silver
packages and above to determine if doing 1
client promotional demo per month is
feasible. If it is not, we strongly recommend
a bronze partnership to avoid time and
effort lost in non-value-add training activities

15. FAQ The following is a list of common questions coming from applicants for which we
would like to confirm with you at the start to help you in the decision-making process
Frequently asked questions
Will you provide me with clients to start with? NO. We are engaging with you because you have highlighted that you are capable to promote our
product in your market and that you have a client base or access to a network which could be interested
in using our product.Will you reimburse me for any marketing or travel
expenses which I entail engaging clients?
Will you provide me with client acquisition and
consulting opportunities in the future?
YES. Our policy foresees that once the reselling partner has proven successfully in the promotion,
acquisition and installation of PRESTO with a new client, we will begin to engage you in discussions and
demos with prospects who are in our inbound sales pipeline, that are in your region, and for which we
think would benefit by your know-how and ability to service them.
Will you promote me, my products and my services
to your existing and incoming clients?
NO. Not at first. We are a small company and have limited capacity to engage in cross-selling,
promotional initiatives. We have a strict policy to avoid discussions of such. This topic can be revisited
together with you ONLY AFTER you have made your first successful sale and installation of PRESTO in the
market.
Will you provide me with additional online support
once my hours are used?
YES. At our discretion we will provide ad-hoc support in the event that you have a demo with a prospect
where you need special access to our know-how and expertise. In this scenario, we will always be
available to support business opportunities of such.
Are there opportunities to claim intellectual
property rights on product customisations and
enhancements I make with my clients?
NO
Does PRESTO link to other applications to offer
automatic data feeds?
YES. PRESTO has a wide set of API feeds allowing for single sign on entry and that any information
available at your client to be fed to PRESTO dashboards, workbenches and reports. This will be
completely provided to your client once a long term software service agreement is agreed.
Do you offer exclusivity agreements to let me ‘own’
my sector or area?
NO. Not in the first year. In the second year, if you have become self-proficient in the promotion,
acquisition and installation of PRESTO in your area or sector, we will consider offering the role of
‘area/sector manager’ which allows you to be the sales manager for all additional consulting and
reselling firms who are interested in joining the KA. In doing so, we will pay you for your efforts to
manage these relationships and share a % of the revenues from the sales of licenses.
How are suggested product development
opportunities managed?
We will be glad to build additional enhancements into PRESTO in the event you require them. There is a
large pipeline of work for 2019 and 2020. For this, all outstanding customisation requests are reviewed
weekly and given priority based on client needs. In the event there is a large client acquisition
opportunity, we will staff our product team accordingly to provide swift product enhancement delivery.
In short, the level of investment we will make depends on the expected return.
16. Frequently asked questions
Are you interested in mentorship? NO. The talent pool available in the Kaizen Alliance is rich in technical, soft and leadership skills and
we are quite satisfied with all of our service providers at the moment. We will be glad to discuss
with you any opportunities regarding these topics ONLY AFTER you have successfully promoted
PRESTO in the market, acquired clients and installed the product at the client site.
Are you seeking additional IT partners (e.g.
integrators, programmers, SEO experts, Digital
marketers)?
Are you seeking external investors to invest in
TOPP TI?
Could I make a profit sharing agreement with
TOPP TI for company stock shares prior to me
joining the team?
NO. We are a privately owned company and are not looking for additional investors, shareholders
or board members. Shares are awarded at the discretion of the Board of Directors at year-end
based on performance and results achieved throughout the course of the year. We do not offer
shares to partners who have not yet independently sold our product in the market.
Are you able to offer me the option to be a
reseller and have the direct relationship with my
clients?
YES. If you want to offer your clients the ability to contract directly with yourselves rather than
TOPP TI we can offer you the option of having a reseller agreement instead of or as well as our
standard agent agreement.
May I charge other Kaizen Alliance partners for
training sessions which I will provide them
online?
YES you can. Under the condition that you are already a ‘PRESTO Champion’ and have a track record
which is tried and true in the promotion of PRESTO, the acquisitions of clients, and successful
product installation & customer service support.
Is there a free-trial period offered to allow me to
test PRESTO at my own leisure
NO. Although PRESTO is very user-friendly, its functionality is robust and requires ‘hand holding’ to
ensure a positive commencement. Giving an inexperienced user accessibility without proper
training would cause unnecessary confusion and time lost by us and you.
The preceding list of frequently asked questions is here to
help us establish expectations, roles and responsibilities
and start our partnership on the right foot
