The regional Accelerate Avaya sales incentive program was open to all Avaya partner sales representatives and ran from February 1 through March 31, 2013. When the winners were announced on April 25^th by Brian Feeney, Avaya's Director of Western Region Channel Sales, at Avaya Partner Connection Day in Irvine, CA, NACR NAMs were awarded three of the top four prizes, ranging in value from $1,000 to $5,000 each.

Pam Karlen, based in Northern California, won two prizes: Overall Top Bookings, which included all Avaya products and services, and Top Networking Bookings. Kelly Pontiff, based in Seattle, WA, won for Top IP Office Bookings. Additionally, NACR NAM Kellye Moses, based in Southern California, was a runner up in Top Networking Bookings.

For Karlen, her impressive sales for the contest period included a deal that was two years in the making: a data networking solution for a California school district with 49 sites serving an area of 350 square miles, more than 29,000 students, and over 3,000 employees. For Pontiff, three separate Avaya IPO projects clinched his win: the replacement of an eight-site Communication Manager infrastructure, the replacement of a two-site DEFINITY platform, and the replacement of an IPO 406 small office edition with the new IPO 500 V2.

"NACR congratulates Pam, Kelly, and Kellye, and is grateful to Avaya for recognizing the outstanding performance of our team in this special sales initiative," according to Dennis R.
