Liaisons

We are looking for Liaisons who can bring our system to schools. If you like what we are doing and would like to become a Liaison between Altissima and the schools in your area, contact us!

Our business relationship with our Liaisons is between report producer and independent representative / distributor - the schools are our shared customers. You will have an independent small business delivering our reports to schools in your area. You could use your business and connections to work with the schools in other ways, if you wish.

The Liaison's job description is outlined in the steps below. The role of Liaison is very important, so they receive half the fee paid by the school. There are no franchise fees or other such costs to the Liaison.

Every school that is interested in using Altissima Groupings must first review a free demonstration so that they understand what the groupings reports can do for their classes. We cannot refund fees. If the school needs to negotiate the fee, we will work with whatever agreement their Liaison makes with them.

As a general guideline, our requested fees for the full service for one year are equivalent to one average teacher's annual salary. However, in the first year we can only provide groupings to 1/3 of the school. Therefore, the fee for the first year will be 1/3 of the full fee. In the second year we can only provide groupings for 2/3 of the school, and the fee will be 2/3 of the full fee. In the third year and onward, we can group the entire school population, and the school will pay the full fee. This gradual progression is necessary for the school administration to successfully manage the changes.

Here are the steps

• Contact Us
1. Contact us and let us know that you are interested to try out this business path.
2. Familiarize yourself with our system here on our website. Feel free to ask questions!
• Present the system to your schools
1. Contact schools in your area. Network with friends, family and your school organizations.
2. Visit any teachers and administrators in your social network. Explain that we have a new and beneficial system for schools and that you are interested to work with this. Offer them the free demonstration of three classes with their actual students. When the teachers and administrators review the demo classes, they will see how it works.
3. You can show them this website and give them this printable summary.
4. We will send you a simple one-year contract agreement.
• Gather and send the data for the free demonstration classes.
1. When they agree to review the free demonstration classes, contact us.
2. Send the students' data to us as outlined in the page "Send Your Data". This step could take up to hour or two. Please be very accurate. This is the first step at which errors could be made. Accuracy is essential in order for our reports to have any value for the students in your school. Show the administration that the students' privacy is protected - The reports you send to us will have no student information other than the birth data. Accept any help they offer from their computer department. We will answer any questions you have about gathering the necessary data.

raw Grouping Report
1. Your demo classes will arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. We will add your school to our schedule. We will notify you of our schedule and the progress. We need to pre-process the data for the entire school data and analyze three suitable demonstration classes.
2. Meanwhile, we will send you the report merger application and some practice reports, so you can become familiar with the process of assembling the classes at your school. It will make a good impression if you prepare the reports quickly and easily when you visit the school with the demonstration reports.
3. The raw reports that you receive will resemble the sample raw Grouping Report presented here. Take these files to the school to merge with the school key.
• Assemble the Free Demonstration Classes at the School

merged Grouping Report
1. This step may take an entire morning or afternoon. Set a date so you can assemble the demo classes. Take the free demonstration reports to your school. Show them again that our reports have no student information other than the birth data.
2. Use the Report Merger application that we will send you to merge the raw reports with the school key while you are with the administrator. Give them the merged reports. You do not need copies. The finished reports should all remain at the school, since they have the students' names.
3. Help them assemble the classes accurately. Gathering the Data and Assembling the Classes are the two main points at which mistakes can be made. Again, accuracy is essential.
4. You can now double check that the students are correctly placed. This basically entails going to each demo class and asking the teacher to ask each child their birthdate and checking that date off the list. Call us with any questions. These steps - Gathering Data and Assembling the Classes - comprise most of the Liaisons' work. Accuracy is essential! Once you see the demo in your school, you'll learn more about the system.
5. Ask the administrators and teachers to observe the classes for a few days.
• Offer the School a Yearly Subscription!
1. Return to the school for feedback from students, teachers & administrators.
2. Visit the classes with them and offer them the reports service for a year.
3. This meeting may take up to an hour or two.
4. Negotiate a fee for the year (you get half of this fee). We will work with whatever fee you negotiate. We can help the schools contact donors who will help supplement their fees. Explain that we offer our service at three levels:
   • Basic Level: At the Basic Level about 1/3 of the school can be organized into grouped classes. The requested fee for this level is currently US$20,000 or 1/3 of an average annual teacher salary. Every school must start at Basic Level.
   • Intermediate Level: At the Intermediate Level about 2/3 of the school can be organized into grouped classes. The requested fee for this level is currently US$40,000 or 2/3 of an average annual teacher salary.
   • Advanced Level: At the Advanced Level the entire school will be organized into grouped classes. The requested fee for this level is currently US$60,000 or one average annual teacher salary. Schools may only subscribe to the Advanced Level if they have already used Basic and Intermediate.
5. Clean up and complete the original data and send it to us again.
• Now you will be a Liaison to your school!
  From this point we will periodically send you series of reports to deliver and implement in your schools. We will work closely with you and your schools. We are motivated to help you and our shared customers in every way, since your success contributes to both our success and to the success of your schools' children!
