New Partner Manager for Address Experts Postcode Anywhere
Says VARs “simply cannot afford to let their customers down”
Hallow, Worcester, United Kingdom, January 28, 2011 --(PR.com)-- A new partner manager takes over at Postcode Anywhere this week, in charge of nurturing the address management specialist’s growing reseller channel.
Alex Bryan, who moves into the role, holds a degree in Classical Archaeology and a Masters in Computer Science. He joined Postcode Anywhere soon after graduating, and worked in technical support prior to joining Postcode Anywhere’s sales team, where he developed an in-depth understanding of web services and route optimisation technology.
Alex said: “The number one piece of feedback we get from value-added resellers (VARs) is that they want services they know their customers can rely on. On top of that, they want to differentiate products and generate repeat income. We don’t take this challenge lightly, and thanks to Postcode Anywhere’s 'it just works' approach, we can not only offer an industry-leading service, but a broad product mix with strong revenue opportunities. Plus, because we are recognised today as an address management leader in the ecommerce and multi-channel retail sectors, partners can take advantage of our brand to win sales.
“We’ve tended to let the technology speak for itself: automatic updates, rapid development, and a web-based system built on the latest industry standards have all stood us in good stead. And thanks to Postcode Anywhere’s scalable pricing model, anyone can take advantage of the same functionality that powers websites like Pizza Hut and Tesco Entertainment.
“But there’s a lot of opportunity for VARs to take the service further. When someone auto-completes an address on an ecommerce website, for instance, why not offer functionality to demographically profile the customer too? This is the kind of differentiator that can really set your proposal apart when competing for business. And with over 250 web services to choose from, the potential for adding value to an offering is huge.
“The relationships we’ve fostered, spanning tried-and-trusted offerings like Actinic’s ecommerce platform, to the innovative Salesforce CRM, show there’s still plenty of room for growth in the partner and reseller channels. It’s a challenge Postcode Anywhere relishes as we move into 2011.”
Postcode Anywhere’s sales and marketing director Phil Rothwell added: “Postcode Anywhere already has a reputation for being a partner-friendly organisation. This is something we want to build upon and Alex, with his broad range of sales and technical skills, is ideal for the role. Our goal is to do what we can help all of our partners succeed. Alex’s appointment is a big step in the right direction.”
