Welcome to Palo Alto Technology Investments (Pty) Ltd

Empowering Agents. Inspiring Change. Elevating Education.

Blue Lines is a division of Palo Alto Tech and we are revolutionising the way schools think about exercise books. Our focus is 100% on providing schools with custom-printed covers for their exercise books—an offering that’s as creative as it is unique. Unlike traditional stationery providers, we approach the market with an exciting concept: allowing schools to design their own covers.

This not only empowers schools to reflect their identity and values but also opens opportunities for students to participate in creating something meaningful. Schools can even run design competitions, letting students create covers and voting on which ones to use for the actual printing. This initiative fosters creativity, community pride, and engagement.

With no other stationery provider promoting this solution, Blue Lines is uniquely positioned to convert schools to this exciting product. The market is open, the offering is distinctive, and the potential is vast.

Why Join Us?

Becoming a Blue Lines Sales Agent means being part of something innovative, impactful, and lucrative.

Here’s why this is an opportunity like no other:

  1. Lucrative Annuity Income Potential:

    • Once you convert a school to using custom-printed covers, it’s highly likely they’ll continue every ordering cycle.
    • This means one sale can become recurring income, providing long-term financial rewards.
    •  

  2. Competitive Pricing:

    • Our pricing is competitive, ensuring you can confidently approach schools knowing the value matches their budgets.
    •  

  3. Unmatched Offering:

    • With no competitors in this niche, you’re introducing a truly unique product to schools.

  4. Creative Engagement with Schools:

    • The opportunity to pitch exciting ideas, like student-designed covers or themes, gives you a compelling reason to approach schools and establish relationships.
    •  

  5. Online Presence:

    • All schools will place orders through our website: www.bluelines.co.za. This ensures a streamlined, professional experience for both agents and clients.

 

How You Earn

  • Unique Agent Code:

    • Each agent will be assigned a unique code.
    • When schools order online, they’ll enter your code, which:
      • Secures your commission.
      • Gives the school a special discount for dealing with you.
    • Your primary goal is to get schools to order and ensure your unique code is used for every transaction.
    •  

  • Blue Lines Email Address:

    • Approved agents will receive an @bluelines.co.za email address, adding credibility and professionalism to your communications with schools.
