PRESS RELEASE — CHANNEL PARTNERS EVOLUTION — Technology Services Distributor Intelisys Inc., a ScanSource (Booth 1140 and a Premier Sponsor) company and the creator of the only cloud university built exclusively for channel sales professionals, has announced its 2017 Super9 results and an extensive 2018 calendar of events, complete with three all-new program options.

From among the 179 Sales Partner agencies and VAR organizations that have completed a Super9 session thus far, there have been more than 1050 cloud orders placed, totaling well over $1M in monthly recurring revenue. The individual Super9 peer groups average an increase of 69% in cloud revenue, with some of them less than two months into the process.

“Super9 changes the conversation. It provides a new approach for cloud sales and many ‘aha!’ moments along the way,” said James Warren, Principal and General Manager of RDM Communications. “Not only did I reduce the noise and demystify a lot of the cloud conversation, but I gained connections and a roadmap that will serve me and my business for years to come, hold me accountable, and inspire me to keep growing in this booming cloud space. Super9 is the best and most effective training event I’ve ever been part of.”

“Super9 has been nothing less than transformational for our participating Sales Partners, and it’s been an honor to be part of this program,” said Andrew Pryfogle, SVP Cloud Transformation at Intelisys. “In the spirit of friendly competition, we are stack ranking the Super9 peer groups, and announcing our top growth peer groups at Super9 Convergence in March 2018.”

The results of Super9 are indeed sometimes immediate, with a Sales Partner in Minneapolis closing a $10K MRR deal on day two of the training, for instance, with a Supplier they’d never before sold.

2018 will bring new, expanded training content, including:

“Super9 has revolutionized how we’re getting in front of and educating channel partners,” said Gary Coben, Senior Vice President, Channel Services, at Evolve IP. “It’s one of the best events in the channel, hands down.” Coben speaks as an expert about Evolve IP’s ability to develop custom strategies for deploying both Cloud Computing and Cloud Communications, and is the only Supplier Partner to have sponsored and attended every single Super9 event since the program’s inception.

Attendees that obtain Super9 certification have received the best of the best in cloud training—with real life, actionable steps—and are guided and coached by …

… elite cloud minds at Intelisys, as well as the top cloud providers in the world. The program provides cloud business development skills, education, coaching and resources at a standard never before offered in the channel, and the 2018 lineup is expected to scale these results dramatically, reaching deeper into Sales Partner organizations.
