Channel Partners Show Brings Success, Promise

The first Channel Partners Show of 2010, held in Las Vegas, was nothing short of a smashing success. From the seminars

and meetings, to the wonderful after parties, dinners and events, the show’s atmosphere was one of hope and excitement for the year to come. Carriers were spending money at what could only be described as a “dot-com boom proportions.” Beyond the funds spent, there were some encouraging signs on the floor, as the event saw a 46% rise in attendance. Should we see this as a hopeful sign that 2010 is ready to be a break out year for vendors, agents and small businesses alike? So far, so good. Speaking of small businesses, their presence at the partner show brought more VARs and integrators than ever before. This of course also meant that a whole new crop of agents were on-hand to witness the show and learn about exciting new products and sales techniques.

As for TBI, their name was on the tip of many tongues at the show. Specifically of interest to many carriers, vendors and agents looking to capitalize on new opportunities, was the relationship that TBI forged with ADTRAN . To encourage sales, ADTRAN representative Andy Solomon was stationed at the TBI booth, speaking to attendees about the benefits of bundling ADTRAN NetvantaTM devices with other telecom products.

TBI also brought home some hardware, winning several awards from participating VARs. All of these awards are regarded with tremendous pride and among them are:

• Number 1 revenue generator for Netwolves 2009 award, second year in a row
• Number 1 revenue generator for Airespring, second year in a row
• Number 3 revenue generator for XO
• Number 4 revenue generator for New Edge Networks
• Number 4 revenue generator for Qwest
• And for the first time, top ten in sales achievement for ACC Business.

We at TBI hope these awards demonstrate to VARs and agents alike that we are dedicated to opening new markets, as well as continuing to bring in profits for all parties involved. The Channel Partner Show helped create the buzz. We intend on carrying it into future success.
