The Philippines is recognized as the global leader in social media use. The 2023 Global Digital Report by Meltwater and We Are Social has revealed that the Philippines holds the top spot globally in terms of the proportion of social media users aged 16 to 64 who follow influencers. The report states that 46% of Filipino social media users in this age bracket follow social media experts and influencers. Filipinos are renowned for being tech-savvy and early adopters of technology, particularly in online communication.
However, the country still falls behind its ASEAN counterparts and the rest of the world in terms of internet speed, cost, and accessibility. The archipelago’s geography, comprising 7,640 islands, presents a connectivity hurdle, which is a contributing factor to this sluggish performance.
To address this issue, Kacific, a next-generation satellite operator based in Singapore, has partnered with local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide reliable and affordable broadband connectivity in remote and underserved areas in the Philippines. One of the key players in this partnership is the Kacific Authorized Distributor.
Kacific has a locally embedded network of 150+ authorized distributors through many local Internet Service Providers (ISP) partners to connect remote communities with reliable internet and provide 24-7 aftersales service. With their nationwide distribution network, Kacific was able to connect over hundred thousand end users catering to internet requirements of various sectors like tourism, mining, finance, and agri-fisheries across the Philippines.
Through Kacific’s local touch with the help of the KADs, it becomes easier to communicate and do business with local partners as they speak the language and understand the culture of their regions. Response times are also faster. KADs can respond more quickly to the clients’ needs and provide timely support, leading to better customer satisfaction.
Expanding Connectivity Across the Philippines: The Critical Role of KADs
Being a Kacific Authorized Distributor (KAD) is a crucial role in bringing Kacific’s reliable, high-speed, and affordable satellite-based connectivity to the Philippines. These distributors are responsible for promoting and selling Kacific’s broadband services to end-users, as well as providing technical support and customer service. They play a vital role in bridging the digital divide in the country by providing connectivity to areas that are beyond the reach of fibre infrastructure.
The Benefits of being a KAD
Aside from contributing to the improvement of internet connectivity in the Philippines, there are also many benefits of being a KAD. Distributors are given access to Kacific’s cutting-edge satellite technology and are provided with comprehensive training and support to ensure the success of their business. In addition, KADs can earn excellent commissions. Earnings of a KAD starts at Php 18,550 (Php 8,550 from equipment resale and Php 10,000 from installation) and can reach up to Php 160,000 per site, depending on the plan that is activated.
“One can earn a lot as a Kacific’s KAD. Within two years, we got projects in various local agencies through hard work and perseverance in marketing Kacific’s product. We immediately built a 3-row building which we plan to use as a stock room for our products,” Orlan Calosa, one of the Kacific’s Top KADs, shared.
KADs also receive specialized marketing support such as distributor and shops branding, Kacific-branded merchandise, social media promotions and PR Releases and feature their end user testimonials. Most of all, they can join a community of individuals and companies aiming to connect underserved areas.
Kacific also holds Kacific Authorized Distributor Awards ceremonies to recognize the efforts of their local ISP partners and authorized distributors in the country, who have strategized and executed operational excellence that has made a lasting impact on their customers through their reliable broadband. Check out this video to see how their award recipients feel about their achievement.
The impact of Kacific Authorized Distributors in the Philippines is undeniable. Through their efforts, they have brought internet connectivity to areas that were previously without it, such as remote islands and rural communities. This has not only improved the lives of individuals but has also opened up opportunities for businesses and education. With the pandemic forcing many Filipinos to work and study from home, reliable internet connectivity has become more crucial than ever.
