Best Software Announces SalesLogix Business Partner Awards for 2002

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – November 13, 2002 – Best Software today announced SalesLogix Business Partner honors and distinctions for 2002. The company awarded eighteen partners worldwide with membership in the SalesLogix President’s Club. Awards were also given for Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Rising Star and several other distinctions recognizing outstanding sales achievements, dedication and commitment to excellence.

“We credit our President’s Club members with driving the exceptional growth and increased performance that we have seen from our channel this year, despite a tough economic climate in which other CRM VARs have not fared as well,” said Tim Fargo, SalesLogix general manager, Best Software. “Recognizing that unique sales approaches are equally important to our long-term channel strength, we also acknowledged several partners who stood out in other areas such as by offering the best add-on product, committing to participation in our Beta programs or demonstrating potential as a rising star.”

SalesLogix President’s Club included Business Partners from throughout the world. Spinnaker was the only SalesLogix Business Partner on the West Coast. Spinnaker, for the second year in a row, was in the Top 10 Business Partners in the United States.
