Sandler client Perspicuity wins prestigious Microsoft Cloud Champion Award
admin on Life as a Sandler network partner isn’t just about achieving the income and work/life balance you always wanted. It’s also about job satisfaction – making a visible difference to the clients you support and seeing all your hard work pay off.
Which is why Sandler has the Client Business of the Year award: to recognise the successful partnerships formed by Sandler franchisees and their clients. And this year’s award has gone to Yeovil-based Cloud Vision from Perspicuity – a reseller for Microsoft’s online Office 365 software and services suite.
The acclaim follows a sustained period of sales growth after a bold switch in corporate strategy. In just 18 months, the company has gained 1,100 new customers and won the prestigious Microsoft Cloud Champion Award for the highest number of Office 365 sales in the UK.
“We are thrilled to receive Sandler’s Client Business of the year title,” says Ben Gower, Managing Director of Perspicuity. “Our Sandler trainer based here in Yeovil, Alistair Powell, has helped us realign our sales effort and transform our corporate culture to refocus on a new product and a new customer profile – with impressive results.”
Microsoft sets a guideline target of one Office 365 deal per week per sales person, but Cloud Vision is easily outstripping that goal. Top performer in the sales team is 19-year-old Sandler-trained Charlie Gilbert, who consistently achieves 15 sales a week.
“Cloud Vision’s success is inspirational and we are delighted to present Perspicuity with our Client Business of the Year Award,” comments Shaun Thomson, CEO of Sandler Training UK, “It is a great pleasure to work with Ben and his team and see them reap the rewards of their ambitious new business strategy. It’s a fantastic achievement and a great reminder of why Sandler is here.”
