Fireball is always working to improve and expand our partner’s benefits and advantages. Over the last year we’ve been honing a system which retains all of the original tier system benefits and incorporates new ones. We’ve also worked tirelessly to clarify and standardize existing policies so that our installer base can develop and grow with us. In this blog post we’ll outline the qualifications and benefits of Professional, Expert, and Master Installer Tiers, and look at how installers can advance in these ranks and improve their business.

Each certified Fireball Partner is afforded an exclusivity range, a range in which we promise not to sell our products to any competing shop. The area of this range depends on the population in your area and which tier of installer you are certified as.
As a certified Fireball Partner, you’ll benefit from an exclusivity range – a geographic area where we commit not to sell our products to any competing shops. The size of this range is determined by two key factors: the population density in your area and your Installer Tier.
This exclusivity range ensures that you have a protected market for your Fireball products, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional service to your customers without worrying about direct competition from other retailers in your vicinity. It provides you with a competitive edge and the opportunity to establish a strong presence in your local market.
As a Fireball Partner, you can trust that we are dedicated to your success. The exclusivity range is just one of the many ways we support and empower our partners to succeed and grow in the industry. We hope this policy helps enable you to build a strong and sustainable business while delivering top-quality products to your customers.
Fireball isn’t just about providing top-notch products—it’s about fostering a supportive partnership. As a valued partner, you’ll gain access to the comprehensive Fireball ecosystem, designed to empower your business and drive growth.
This means you’ll receive invitations to exclusive industry events, conferences, and workshops. These events offer unparalleled networking opportunities, allowing you to connect with fellow professionals, learn about the latest trends, and stay ahead of the curve.
Fireball recognizes the importance of social media in today’s digital landscape. As a partner, you’ll be featured on our social media platforms, receiving valuable exposure to our extensive network of followers. In addition, we provide a range of marketing materials to support your business, all accessible online at no additional cost.
Interested in learning more? Below is a detailed breakdown of each tier’s requirements and benefits. Importantly, all of our existing Installer partners will retain the tiers they entered 2024 with, and inherit the new benefits associated with that tier. We’re not interested in imposing stringent or punishing rules, only in expanding your benefits. Let’s get started.
Professional is our base level Installer Tier, but can hardly be considered entry-level. As many of you already know, we only work with detailers and installers that exhibit extreme attention to detail, familiarity with the industry, and technical skills.
In the past, we required all Professional and Expert Installers to attend an in-person training. While we still value teaching and sharing techniques with all our partners, we understand that this requirement was very restrictive for business owners and those with families. Starting in 2024, we’re launching Fireball Regional Trainings, placing training centers closer to you and increasing their frequency. We’re also dropping the required training for Expert Installers, and increasing the Professional’s training requirement to 6 months from sign up.
Each Fireball Tier has requirements an installer must meet before being accepted into our partner program. An installer aiming for the Professional Tier must:
We provide unique compounding benefits to all installer tiers. As a Fireball Professional, you will receive:
Expert is our advanced tier, for installers with mid-to-large operations. Experts have a proven history with ceramic coatings, and a level of professionalism in their shop’s day-to-day routine.
An installer aiming for the Expert Tier must:
As a Fireball Expert, you will receive:
Master is the highest tier of Fireball Installers possible. This is reserved not only for Installers at the top of their field, but those committed to Fireball specifically, who want to grow with and be a part of our company. Master Installers are called on to help with events, mentor less experienced installers, and weigh in on important matters at this company.
The requirements for Master Installers are not as straightforward as the other tiers. To be certified as a Master Installer, you will have to first achieve expert status, work with Fireball coatings for at least 6 months, and install at least 30 expert-level coatings. Once you’ve done this, you must attend the annual Master training event, apply for Master status, and pass a written examination. The process won’t be quick or necessarily easy, but in the end, it will be worth it.
An installer applying for the Master Tier must:
*Excluding Master Installers who have maintained contiguous Master status prior to December 31st of 2023.
