Accel Networks Recognizes Top Partners

Accel Networks recognized two of its top-performing partners in 2008 at last week’s Channel Partners Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. Accel recognized Telarus Inc. as Master Agent of the Year and RealCom Solutions as Retail Partner of the Year.

“Developing an effective indirect sales channel is a core part of our growth strategy,” said Eric Sandoval, vice president of sales and marketing for Accel. “We are pleased to honor both Telarus and RealCom Solutions for their outstanding leadership in 2008.” Accel recognizes annual top partners in both retail and master agency based on overall sales and other key measures demonstrating leadership in customer care and support.

“Our agents find [Accel’s] 3G wireless broadband offering easy to sell, the prices are

competitive, and Accel’s offering is available in real time in our patented GeoQuote system,” said Adam Edwards, president of Telarus. “Our system is very transparent, so the carriers that receive agent interest are the ones doing the best job.”

Several individual Telarus agents and members of Accel’s sales channel were also recognized at the conference as “Accelerated Partners.” These included Jack Kurz of High-Speed Solutions, Janice Gordon of Network Consultants, and Dennis and Kristen Green. Sean Baird of RealCom Solutions also has been recognized as an Accel “Accelerated Partner” for his impressive sales achievement within the retail vertical.
