To tackle the vast increase of IT Partners and MSPs making a move into the broader voice market, Gamma has introduced a new business channel designed to focus solely on the dedicated new partner onboarding programme. The programme was created in order to implement a more seamless onboarding process in the face of the vast increase of this new breed of partner looking to diversify their product portfolio and add cloud telephony services to their offering.
The onboarding programme has the aim of improving the broader customer experience, enabling partners to hit the ground running and start growing their business with Gamma more quickly. The programme ensures that new partners are promptly equipped with appropriate knowledge of the Gamma product suite and self-training tools including the extensive online knowledgebase and training hub, the Gamma Academy along with Gamma’s Accelerate marketing platform. Accelerate allows partners to hit the ground running with marketing campaigns, giving them a self-serve platform to manage lead generation and customer engagement.
One example of the new generation of Channel Partners, seeking to make waves in the voice telephony market was Ensign Communications, Sales Director, Chris Byrne commented on Gamma’s onboarding programme:
“The new onboarding process has made the sign-up, sales enablement and product training processes really seamless and painless. Everything has a logical process from sign-up to training and staff have felt that they have everything they need. Particularly with great tools like the Gamma Portal and the Academy, everything has a handy self-serve element, allowing us to really hit the ground running with Gamma’s product suite.”
Commenting on the new structure, Gamma’s Head of New Business – Channel, Mark Lomas comments:
“The aim of the new onboarding programme was to make sure new partners feel sufficiently supported in terms of selling Gamma’s range of products to their customer base from day one of their Gamma partnership. The new programme was designed to make Gamma’s new business processes more efficient across the board, allowing us to make sure, as our partner base continues to grow, we can retain the core focus on providing the very best partner relations, for which we’re renowned. It’s really great to see such positive feedback from our new partners, who were all delighted with the way the onboarding experience immediately made them feel fully equipped as a new Gamma partner.”
Having signed over 100 new CPs in the last twelve months, the success of the new business onboarding programme has been instrumental in contributing to the exceptional end of year results for Gamma in 2018. With Gamma personnel on call and partners encouraged to self-train, utilising the online self-serve portal, the new programme has allowed new partners to grow with Gamma and drive sales straight away.
