Sennheiser wins Mobile Devices Vendor of the Year at prestigious CRN awards 2015
Marlow, United Kingdom, 30th November 2015 – Sennheiser, a leading provider of premium headsets and speakerphone solutions, has been awarded Best Mobile Devices Vendor of the Year at the CRN awards 2015.
Against stiff competition, Sennheiser proved itself a worthy winner in a range of criteria, including channel growth, vendor support and the immediate success that has come from changes to the company over the last year.
Sennheiser’s market growth significantly exceeded the industry average, a major factor in winning the award. Also praised was the high quality of its channel programme, which was restructured in 2015 to provide resellers with the very best support and materials. It also created a dedicated corporate accounts team who are generating around 70% of its business and passing this back to resellers in the form of “hot leads” – a key differentiator.
Key devices in Sennheiser’s portfolio helped to drive this success, including the PRESENCE™ Bluetooth headset, a direct response to the demand for flexibility and Unified Communications in the workplace. Also noted were its award winning Speakerphone SP10 and SP20, enabling personal or small-group conference calls on PC/softphone, and the MB Pro – premium Bluetooth headsets for UC business professionals.
“We’ve made major strides this year to grow the business in a burgeoning market that’s showing increasing demand for headsets and Unified Communications solutions” said Sennheiser’s Sales Director, Jane Craven. “It’s great to see the results of this success already and even better to have them recognised by such an important award. I’d like to offer a massive thank you to everyone who was involved!”
Sennheiser also impressed the judges after helping one of its resellers, Vodafone, secure a large contract with The Environment Agency. This resulted in the purchase of a large number of Sennheiser units, including premium headsets and Speakerphones, for use with its office-based and mobile workforce – just one of a number of success stories for 2015.
