The Network Union has quickly made its mark as a BT Business Partner Sales prime mover having bagged two of the telco's top awards during its 14/15 Kick off event staged in London.
The Network Union operates as a niche connectivity consultancy aligned with BT Business Partner Sales and scooped the New Partner of the Year accolade as well The Network Union Innovation Award.
Robert Sturt, a Mindmap creator and BT IP Clear and BT IP Connect expert at The Network Union, enthused: "Winning one award is recognition enough but to be recognised twice is a fantastic accolade! One of our core abilities is sales process which combined with BT's Global capability is a compelling value proposition. The innovation award recognises our approach and provides credibility and confidence to our prospects and clients."
The event also saw BT Business Partner Sales General Manager Martin Clarke outline the channel strategy as well as improvements to the proposition including commissions and service enhancements. BT product managers discussed the product launches which are due later in the year.
Simon Rowen, Recruitment Director for the Partner Channel, said: "Our Kick-off event incorporates our UK Partner Awards. There is no better time to recognise the success of our partners over the past year, as well as outlining our shared vision for 2014.
"Without our important network of partners we would not be the organisation we are today. This year, there will be even more opportunities than ever for our partners to succeed with BT Business.
"We are expanding as a channel and looking for other companies to join our partner network."
