The Channel Futures Podcast No. 9: Empire Building with Avant, Nutanix and Peak 10
In contrast to GE, HPE and AIG, which are dismantling parts of their empires, some companies are building new ones. In this episode of The Channel Futures Podcast, we take a close look at three companies in growth mode: Avant Communications, Nutanix and Peak 10/ViaWest.
First up, we talk cloud and partner evolution with Avant Communications co-founder and CEO Ian Kieninger. He shares his advice of “quoting at level one but selling at level seven.”
