“I am sure that the alliance between LicenciasOnline and GFI will be very profitable for the Latin American market. I strongly believe this because we are experts in the business and we motivate partners by giving them additional benefits and advantages. For example, our virtual platform allows them to easily track purchase orders in real time and offers front-end and back-end sales assistance. Moreover, we develop training, demand generation campaigns and loyalty programs to enhance knowledge and optimize the business growth,” said Marina Patallo, Marketing Manager at LicenciasOnline.
