Products

Cisco defines a small business as one with up to 100 employees. In the small business market, there are many competitors. Most of the existing competitors are vulnerable to a vendor like Cisco, which has the broadest product portfolio and strongest route-to-market programs in the industry, as well as a trusted brand from the market leader in networking and communications. Cisco and its channel partners are well positioned to take and grow market share in the small business market.

The SMB Market Opportunity

With the Cisco Select Certification and SMB Specialization, Cisco continues to demonstrate its commitment to the fast-growing SMB segment. These qualifications help partners further develop their skills and capabilities so they can address the market opportunity and be successful with SMB customers.

Both the Select Certification and SMB Specialization are designed to help partners grow, differentiate and build customer satisfaction while increasing their exposure to potential new customers.

Cisco Select Certification
Cisco Select Certification is the entry point into the Cisco Channel Partner Program for partners with a primary focus on the SMB market. This certification offers training, tools and incentives and demonstrates a partner’s competency in selling and deploying Cisco SMB solutions.

The Select Certification provides a step between Cisco Registered and Premier Certified Partners.
Cisco is rewarding partners who achieve the Select Certification and SMB Specialization with incentives that are aligned to their investments in this certification.*

*Incentives vary by region. Contact your local Cisco representative for more information about the details specific to your region.

Cisco SMB Specialization
The Cisco SMB Specialization recognizes SMB-focused partners and provides further opportunity for partners to use the Cisco brand. It focuses on a partner’s validated ability to successfully sell, design and deploy proven Cisco solutions to small and midsize businesses (those with fewer than 250 employees).

The Cisco SMB Specialization is very attainable for SMB-focused partners. It is required for Select Certification. An SMB Specialization counts only toward Select Certification.
