Avaya kicks off channel programme

Romy Davis, a Sales Executive at Business Connexion, has been announced as the winner of Avaya Sub-Saharan Africa`s channel incentive programme. The prize is an all expenses paid trip for two to the 2006 FIFA World Cup to be held in Germany later this year.

The incentive programme ran from May to July of 2005, with the prize being awarded to the top sales person for any Avaya product during that period. Davis secured the competition by selling a call centre and PABX solution to a major South African travel and tourism agency.

Bridget Kelly, Country Manager for Avaya Sub-Saharan Africa, says: "Maintaining a good working relationship with our channel is vitally important. Since we are an official partner of the FIFA World Cup 2006, the idea of rewarding a sales person with a trip to Germany seemed like the perfect way to bring our partners and sales teams together and build strong relationships with both."

Says Davis: "Avaya has always had a solid relationship with channel, and the incentive programme only served to cement this. My relationship with my channel and product manager is excellent, and Avaya only provides top-class products. The call centre solution especially is excellent, and this is proven by my clients, who overall are extremely happy with the solutions Avaya provides."
