ACC BUSINESS SELECTED AS A PHONE+ TOP 50 CHANNEL PROGRAM

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – PHONE+ magazine, a monthly publication of Virgo Publishing LLC for the telecommunications indirect sales channel, is pleased to announce that ACC Business has been selected as one of its Top 50 Channel Programs. The results of this contest are published in the magazine's first-ever Channel Program Guide special issue, available now at www.phoneplusmag.com/ebooks.

PHONE+ is very proud to honor ACC Business and the Top 50 Channel Program winners. ACC Business was selected among hundreds of companies that submitted their channel program details in hopes of being recognized as a Top 50 Channel Program. Voted on by 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 bestow special recognition upon these standouts. Their support for the indirect channel, and gains in the telecom industry overall, are much appreciated and lauded," said Mike Saxby, group publisher for PHONE+.

"This is indeed a great honor, to be included among the best of the best," said John Baker, president and CEO of ACC Business. "Everyone at ACC Business, from our field agents to our entire support staff, works extremely hard to give our customers the best possible service, and it's wonderful that they have been recognized by PHONE+ for their hard work."

In addition to recognizing the Top 50 Channel Programs, the PHONE+ Channel Program Guide special issue features the Top 15 Channel Managers and includes articles that focus on the key traits of a successful channel program and master agency, how to sustain a healthy partner relationship, and the anatomy of an agent agreement.
