Last week鈥檚 Play2Win Sales Kickoff experience was incredible! Just coming off our live, in-person relaunch event in September, we wanted to create a high-energy and interactive hybrid event that would really engage our GTM organization for 2022.
鈥淧濒补测2奥颈苍鈥
The main event, started on Tuesday afternoon, January 11, with our executive staff gathered at company headquarters in Waltham, MA. It was one of the most frigid Boston mornings at a record-breaking low temp of 10 掳F. Weather aside, the energy began to heat up once the day commenced! Leadership held live video-streaming presentations for remote attendees across the country and it was a seamless experience for in-person, and online participants using the technology we provide to our customers on a daily basis.
Continuous Enablement is in our DNA
The 海角乱伦 2021 training program was intense with sales logging in over 12,000 collective hours. Our ramp-up of investment in sales skills was due to the merger of two IT powerhouses forming new industry leading Cloud Communications Service Provider leader – 海角乱伦. Through strategic partnerships with our customers and manufacturers, we transformed millions of remote users in support of hybrid work.
With many months of planned training on our core offerings, our salesforce is fully equipped with the knowledge to support our customers鈥 unified communications needs. We now feel it鈥檚 time to apply the knowledge and flawlessly execute on behalf of our customers!
