T-Mobile Launches Partner Programme To Support BlackBerry Sales

Published 24th August 2007

London, 22 August 2007: T-Mobile has launched the ‘BlackBerry from T-Mobile: Partner Programme’, a subdivision of T-Mobile’s current Business Partner Programme. The new programme rewards Business Partners recognised for their high level of expertise and performance in the BlackBerry® solution...

Those that achieve the scheme’s high entry standards will benefit from preferential pricing on BlackBerry from T-Mobile handsets, increased commission on BlackBerry from T-Mobile sales and additional lead generation and marketing support from T-Mobile. The first members to qualify and successfully pass these requirements, have been named as WN1 Communications, Olive Communications and BusinessMobiles.com.

Commenting on the new programme, John Fannon, National Sales Manager - Business Partners, T-Mobile UK, said: “We would like to congratulate the first three partners that have demonstrated their commitment and joined the programme as founder members. In order to maintain and promote the highest levels we have strict criteria for entry to this programme. We will review the performance of our Business Partners on a quarterly basis and look to extend the benefits of the ‘BlackBerry from T-Mobile: Partner Programme’ to all that reach the required levels of commitment.”

Darren Halliwell, Managing Director at WN1 Communications, said: “Being included within this programme gives us a key differentiator within the business market. It illustrates our commitment and expertise to both customers and prospects. This is the first time that we have enjoyed such a level of support and it is a great reward for the work that we have done promoting BlackBerry from T-Mobile over the last five years.”

T-Mobile has briefed all resellers within its Business Partner Programme on the requirements for entry to the new programme and expects to announce additional members following the next performance review.
