How the Phoenix Phase Converter Dealer Program Works
Three tiers. One validation rule per tier. A 48-hour manual review for Tier 3, and a 7-day grace period if your link ever drops. Here's the full mechanism — no asterisks, no gotchas.
Your discount is a function of how visible you make Phoenix on your own site
Traditional distributor dealer programs gate pricing behind volume commitments, annual minimums, and rep relationships. The Phoenix program gates pricing behind a single question: is Phoenix visible to your customers on your own site? The more visible we are to your audience, the better your pricing gets — because you're doing real marketing work that drives real demand.
That translates into three tiers with objective, URL-based validation rules. No sales-rep phone calls to grade you. No opaque 'partner tier' rubric. You meet the rule, you get the tier. You don't meet the rule, you don't.
Each tier unlocks by meeting one validation rule
Tier 1 — Advocate (5% off)
Mention Phoenix Phase Converters somewhere on your site — a blog post, a brand list, a services page that names us. We verify the mention manually on application.
Tier 2 — Partner (10% off + free LTL)
Add a live backlink to phoenixphaseconverters.com from a page on your site. Anchor text should be natural ('Phoenix Phase Converters' or a service phrase). Reviewed within 48 hours.
Tier 3 — Dealer (10% + free LTL + free upgrade)
Publish a live product listing: model name, photo, price, and outbound link. Manual review within 48 hours. Tier 3 unlocks the free NL→PL/NLA/DualZone model upgrade and priority support.
From application to approved dealer pricing
Apply and pick your target tier
The form on the pillar page asks for your company, your URL, and the tier you're applying for. Pick the highest tier you can validate today — you can upgrade later.
We run a manual review within 48 hours
A human on our team opens the URL, verifies the tier's validation rule (mention, backlink, or product listing), and either approves or kicks back with a note about what's missing.
Your dealer account goes live
On approval we email a dealer pricing sheet and a set of credentials. Your next order bills at your tier pricing automatically — no code to enter.
Monthly re-check keeps your tier honest
Once a month our system re-visits your validation URL. If the mention, link, or listing is still live, nothing changes. If it drops, we notify you and start a 7-day grace period.
“The validation rule is objective on purpose. We don't want to make judgement calls on who deserves what discount. The URL either does the work or it doesn't.”
— How we run the program internallyA brief window to fix a broken link before anything changes
Sites get rebuilt. Pages get moved. We know. The 7-day grace period exists so a single redeploy that breaks a link doesn't nuke your dealer pricing overnight. When our monthly re-check fails, you get an email within 24 hours with the broken URL, the tier it validated, and a simple ask: restore the link inside 7 days.
If the link is live when we recheck at day 7, your tier is preserved and no pricing changes. If the link is still broken at day 7, your account auto-downgrades to the tier your remaining validation supports — Tier 2 if you still have the backlink, Tier 1 if you still have the mention, or back to retail if none of the validations pass. You can re-qualify at any time by fixing the link and emailing us to re-trigger a review.

Frequently asked questions
How does Phoenix actually verify my Tier 2 backlink?
We open the URL you submitted, load the page in a real browser, and check for an anchor tag that points to phoenixphaseconverters.com. The link must be crawlable — no rel='nofollow' on the primary link, no JavaScript-only insertion that doesn't render without scripts.
What does 'manual review within 48 hours' include for Tier 3?
A human on our team opens your submitted product listing URL, confirms it shows a Phoenix model with a photo or spec, a price, and a working outbound link to our site. If anything's missing we email you with the specific gap instead of silently rejecting.
What triggers the monthly URL re-check?
Every dealer's validation URL is re-checked once per calendar month. We load the page, run the same tier-specific rule we used on approval, and log the result. Success keeps your tier. Failure starts the 7-day grace period.
If my site goes down mid-month, do I lose my tier immediately?
No. The monthly re-check is the only trigger. A short outage between re-checks won't affect your account. Even when a re-check fails, you still get 7 days of grace period to restore the URL before any tier change takes effect.
