Peerless Network, Sandler Partners Sign Distribution Deal

Telecommunications services provider Peerless Network announced today that it has signed a new master agent agreement with Sandler Partners. The agreement gives Sandler’s more than 7,000 agents immediate access to Peerless’s portfolio of voice products, services and platforms with a network that reaches more than 4,500 interconnected carrier switches and over 6,000 rate centers across 190+ markets in the U.S. and the U.K.

Peerless’s automated platforms Cloud PBX (UCaaS model), Peerless Portal (self-provisioning SIP trunking platform) and ANImate (number management system) enable enterprises and channel partners to easily provision and manage SIP trunking channels, telephone numbers, local and domestic/international long-distance and toll-free services from one advanced system, according to the company. Peerless rolled out Cloud PBX in July, calling it a “game-changer.”

Peerless Network’s Rick Knight

“As the Sandler Partners’ sales agents identify custom communications and IT solutions for businesses, we are thrilled to offer Peerless Network’s best-in-class voice products and services that were designed with agent feedback to drive the highest quality of service, ease of implementation and best-in-market commissions,” said Rick Knight, Peerless’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Peerless Network simplifies how networks, devices and people connect with the latest automated technology that enables greater efficiency and results for the agent channel community with unrivaled support from our team.”

Sandler Partners’ Ryan Yakos

“Peerless is well positioned to help our partners serve SMB and enterprise clients,” said Ryan Yakos, Sandler’s vice president of channel for the Midwest region. “The company’s portal, which enables true self-service for SIP services, allows technical staff to order, provision and move services without having to rely on the provider or carrier, resulting in fast installations and real-time provisioning. Additionally, Peerless has been leveraging its automation, size and scale to deliver highly competitive pricing paired with competitive compensation and SPIFFs.”

In January, Sandler Partners signed an agreement with UCaaS provider Net2Phone, which gives enterprise users access to local phone numbers in more than 70 countries and 300 cities.
