Mitel Experiences Booming Growth with Sandler Partners
DALLAS and HERMOSA BEACH, California — December 13, 2016 — One year ago, Mitel signed a platinum sponsorship deal with telecom and cloud master agency Sandler Partners with the objective to solidify the relationship and grow Mitel cloud sales. Since then, Mitel Cloud sales grew 125% and Mitel reached more than 4,000 subagents, increasing their awareness and understanding of the complete Mitel Cloud portfolio.
“Our relationship with Sandler Partners has grown dramatically due to the trust in our partnership, channel managers’ engagement, nationwide support, and availability to converse directly with their management team,” said Marek Wasilewski, Vice President, Mitel Cloud Division.
“Mitel, a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader for UC, controls its own software and hardware, powering rich features and fast response to market demand,” said Alan Sandler, Managing Partner, Sandler Partners. “Mitel delivers very strong support, starting with National Channel Manager Stacy Mannik, and incredible compensation to our partners. We’re proud to have been the company’s first master agency announcement.”
Sandler’s agent community is important to Mitel’s success because of how they engage with their customers, uncovering opportunities, and engaging Sandler and Mitel to help sell the right solution to their customers. These customers choose Mitel because Mitel owns the solution end-to-end; it’s not a piecemeal solution with third-party components. That makes Mitel unique and the only company able to provide a bridge between enterprise and mobile customers. Customers count on Mitel to deliver technology that enables their workforce to collaborate wherever they are in the world.
“The reasons for choosing Mitel were their professional expertise and understanding of our requirements, backed by a great sales and a support team. We are very happy with the Mitel technology for our communication needs,” said Rajesh Shad, Systems Engineer, Royal Circuits.
As Mitel continues to close out a strong 2016, the company looks forward to continuing its growth and valued relationship with Sandler Partners and their agents in 2017.
