THIS MONTH'S FEATURE

 
HOT PRODUCTS: Managed Network Security
 

March and April Training:

In March we had 4 new partners and 1 long serving partner (Quadra Solutions) attend the Induction training at Moss Bridge Road:

 


Steven Mason from AWK Computers and Kenneth Middleton from Cherry IT

• Colin Smith - Internet for Everything (joined Partner Programme 6th Feb 06)

• Sally Reeve – Modern Networks (joined 8th Feb 06)

• Kenneth Middleton – Cherry IT (joined 21st Feb 2006)

• Steve Mason – AWK Computers (joined 06th Dec 2005)

• Angela Margerison – Quadra Solutions (long serving Gold partner)


The session gave the newer partners a good insight into what being a ZenPartner entails and how it will benefit them, in addition to giving Quadra a nice refresher and an opportunity to improve some of their ordering and payment processes by having more of an insight into how Zen’s systems work.


Onsight Training

In April we have been out on site to conduct sales training at Network Telecom in Shropshire who have recently expanded their sales team and therefore required product and sales information for all of their new sales staff.

The training covered all the reasons why you would choose Zen over other, cheaper providers in addition to some more detailed coverage on how DSL works, benefits and features etc.

We also travelled over to Yorkshire Telecom in Halifax to carry out a refresher session on ordering and a company update.


ZenPartner Induction Training:

Hatfield – Tues 30th May
