Yes, please contact sales for getting pricing list of our products.
Previously, for our desktop products YCS had a pricing page available on the websites for everyone to have a look. But as per the request of most of our partners, we finally removed the pricing page and replaced it with a request for quote (RFQ) page. When the end users fill up the RFQ page, YCS send this RFQ form directly to the resellers in that region. If required resellers can edit the pricing that suits them, add other services too that our resellers offer in the quote (if relevant) and send it further to the customer. For those regions where we have our resellers present, YCS generally don’t send RFQ's directly to customers.
For cloud products, YCS would be displaying the price list on the website itself as avoiding that can reduce the lead generation. YCS might change this price display policy from time to time due to various reasons.

YCS receives good number of reseller enquiries on daily basis. Unfortunately not all those companies are serious about business and ends up being a bad business case for us. Apart from that in most cases we only appoint 1 reseller per region unless the region is very big. If we contract with a company which isn't keen enough to produce some results we not only have a loss of opportunities wasted by means of leads that we send to them, but we also waist the new reseller opportunities that we get which we cannot entertain as we are contracted with the non performing resellers. We don't charge any fees for becoming our reseller, but what we ask is to some deposits based on the region applied. This deposit can be redeemed when the reseller makes the sale. Most of our resellers redeem the deposit in just few sales. The small deposits make us comfortable to know the seriousness of the reseller whom we are appointing as reseller and as this amount is easily redeemed the resellers join us virtually without any costs.
YCS receives good number of reseller enquiries all the time. Not all the enquiries turn up to be serious enough in their efforts and end up wasting; time, resources and the most importantly the leads that we send to them. In order to cut down the non-interested / non-performing resellers in the start, lately we were forced to introduce some minimum business guarantee in terms of deposits.
Apart from that in many cases we appoint only 1 reseller per region unless the region is very big. If we contract with a company which isn't keen enough to produce some results we not only have a loss of opportunities wasted by means of leads that we send to them, but we also waist the new reseller opportunities that we get which we cannot entertain as we are contracted with the non performing resellers.
These small deposits are kind of assurance to us about the seriousness of our newly appointed resellers. These deposits are not any kind of fees as the full deposit can be reimbursed against the future sales and commissions. Most of our resellers redeem the deposit in just few initial sales. Read the question below on how the deposit is reimbursed to get more info.
Here is a short example of how to reimburse the deposit.
Assume that you have paid 8000 as the reseller deposit to YCS for platinum reseller ship where you get 40% commissions.
Your opening balance with YCS is 8000 to start off.
Assume you make a Sale @ 10,000 (YCS Base Price, not considering your markups)
Your commissions: 4000 (@ 40%)
Due to be paid to YCS: 6000
Your Balance with YCS: 8000
Your balance with YCS after this sale: 2000 (8000 - 6000)
Your Second sale is say of 4000 (YCS Base Price)
Your commissions: 1600 (@ 40%)
Due to be paid to YCS: 2400 (4000 - 1600)
You're previous balance with YCS: 2000
Your balance with YCS after this sale: -400
Thus on completion of this sale, you end up paying only 400 to YCS, while all your deposits are fully utilized after this sale. For all futuresale after this, you will have to remit the 60% of the YCS base price.
After introducing the deposits lately we have decreased the numbers of reseller enrolments, but what we got were all serious enrolment's whom we can look forward to work for long long time to mutually benefit each other.
Note: For our web products, the commission is 25% only and not 40% as shown in the above illustrations. All the numbers are shown are for illustrations. Annual maintenance charges, resellers mark-up, resellers gain from training and implementations are not taken into considerations to make the calculations easy to understand.
