Sales Partnerships, Inc awarded distinction as the top sales outsourcing company

Denver, CO and Las Vegas, NV, December 7, 2007

Many of the largest sales organizations in the world were present in Las Vegas December 7, 2007 for the Stevie Awards. The awards honor the top sales organizations and individuals with recognitions ranging from top global sales firm to top sales representative. Sales Partnerships, Inc. (SPI) was recognized as the top Sales Outsourcing Firm.

The awards were jointly presented by Selling Power magazine and The Stevie Awards - hailed by the New York Post (April 2005) as "the business world's own Oscars." The panel of judges included notables from: Microsoft, Webex, Sony, Dow Jones, Cannon USA, Right Now Technologies, Hoovers, HR Chally, and the John Hancock Financial Services company.

Fred Kessler, Sales Partnerships CEO, "We were voted by a multi-national panel as the top Sales Outsourcing or external sales channel in the world. It says volumes about how the market is growing. Companies recognize that their brand is important and can't be entrusted to just anyone. SPI exists because we can provide a competitive ROI while protecting the brand of our clients. Our program is as accountable as the sales forces within our client firms. Some of the largest companies with the most valuable brands on the planet (often complex sales models with high dollar sales) have become part of our clientele. This award ties directly to why we made Inc's list of the fastest growing companies as well - the market recognizes the value of what SPI represents."

Sales outsourcing is the practice of hiring an external organization to sell for a company as a virtual extension of their own sales force. Outsourced sales firms hold quotas, report all results, and are accountable just as the client's internal divisions would be. The benefits are in yielding better results, scalability, predictability, and access to systems and market reach otherwise not immediately available. Sales outsourcing firms sell as "branded" representatives of their clients -- usually indistinguishable from the company's own sales reps from the customer's view. The sales force is dedicated representing only that client full-time. This model differs from value added resellers; contract sales firms, or 1099 options in that the benefits and protections of an internal sales force are kept while getting the strengths of an external channel.

Sales Partnerships, a company with a national footprint headquartered in Colorado was also a finalist for top national sales team for all industries and top service sales organization. Other nominees included: DHL, First Data, Chevron Phillips, Marriott International, Northwest Airlines, McGraw Hill, Best Buy, Walt Disney World, Yellow Book, Boston Scientific, Administaff, Schering Plough, ReMax, Mead Westvaco, Kaiser Companies, CSX Transportation, International Paper, Fed Ex Services, and Dow Jones.
