PNG Wins Top 50 Honors

PowerNet Global is selected as a PHONE+ Top 50 Channel Program

Sept. 17, 2008 -- PHONE+ magazine, a resource for the telecommunications indirect sales channel, announced that PowerNet Global Communications has been selected as a Top 50 Channel Program. The results of this contest will be published in the magazine's 2008 Channel Program Guide special issue, due out Oct. 15.

PHONE+ is very proud to honor PowerNet Global among the Top 50 Channel Program winners. PNG was selected among hundreds of companies who submitted their channel program details in hopes of being recognized as a Top 50 Channel Program. Voted on by more than 1,000 indirect sales partners, the winners represent communications suppliers -- carriers, resellers, master agents and manufacturers -- who provide their agents with that extra something -- extra attention, rapid quotes, sales training or special promotions -- that makes agents want to do business with them.

“PHONE+ is honored to recognize these standouts. Their support for the indirect channel in the telecom industry are much appreciated and lauded,” said Mike Saxby, group publisher for PHONE+.

In addition to recognizing the Top 50 Channel Programs, the PHONE+ Channel Program Guide special issue features the Top 15 Channel Managers. For more information, visit www.phoneplusmag.com.
