Best Partner Programme - Vendor

Who can enter? Any firm that is defined as a vendor and operates a UK channel strategy. These can be vendors of hardware, networking and software in all vertical markets, but the business must have a significant channel presence in the UK to qualify and obviously a channel programme that has been in place for more than a year. This can be a single or two-tier channel programme. The period covered for the awards is Jan 2012 to Jan 2013 so bear in mind when talking about additions/changes to programmes.

Entry Criteria

• Briefly describe your partner programme - ie length of time in operation, how it works, how rebates work, how partners get involved?
• Do you have a partner portal? If so can you give some details of the benefits it provides partners?
• How user friendly is it?
• How much time/money do you invest in your partner programme each year?
• How does it help your partners?
• Please provide UK partner testimonials, this is key to a strong entry

Entries must be no more than 1,000 words and try to think about the judges when writing them. Use plenty of spacing, bullet points and paragraphs to construct your entry to make them easier on the eye. Avoid marketing speak and make the entry as tailored to the UK as you can, using facts, figures and testimonials.
