BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At an awards
luncheon, Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT), recognized
Intelisys, a technology services distributor and master agent, with
its inaugural Channel Partner Program Summit Award. Intelisys
received the honor for reaching a significant revenue
milestone as an Elite member of Level 3's Channel Partner
Program.
"Intelisys has built a solid reputation with its sales partners
by providing outstanding value-add services and carrier solutions
to solve customer challenges," said Garrett
Gee, indirect channel chief, Level 3. "We are proud to
recognize their accomplishment with our first-ever Summit Award and
appreciate the long-term relationship with Level 3."
In its ten year history working with Level 3, Intelisys has
optimized the independent sales channel experience to raise the
standards for how business telecommunications services and cloud
services are bought and sold for the greater benefit of end-user
customers.
"We are humbled to receive this honor from Level 3, and in
truth, we owe this success to the partnership itself and our
incredible sales partners," said Jay
Bradley, president, Intelisys. "At Intelisys, we have a
carefully honed list of supplier best practices against which we
evaluate all our partnerships. Level 3 ticks every box on the list.
We are passionate about overcoming challenges to help our sales
partners make informed choices so they can maximize the value of
their customers' technology investments. Level 3 has been equally
passionate about providing the dedicated resources, tools and
people where they matter. Indeed, more than 100 of our most elite
sales partners—our Club TPC members—are receiving Level 3
commissions."
The milestone, marked by the Channel Partner Program Summit
Award, was is due in part to Level 3's committed nationwide
presence and exceptional diversity across Intelisys' national
network of sales partners. Coupled with a reliable escalation path
and well-priced, diverse product mix, Intelisys sales partners have
been able to position Level 3 with confidence in front of their
business customers.
The Level 3 Channel Partner Program includes three tiers: Elite,
Premier and Authorized. At the Elite level, there are eight
partners. Elite partner status is awarded to a select group of
channel partners who achieve specific sales and revenue performance
targets. Intelisys is the first Elite Channel Partner to have
reached the Summit award level.
