Aastra rewards top SIP Distributors with a VIP night out 

Aastra’s top SIP distributors were treated to a night out at Billingsgate Market and a special screening of the England v South Africa Rugby World Cup game as a reward for hitting summer sales targets for the Company’s range of SIP phones.

Seven representatives from distributors, Siracom and Telappliant secured a place on the VIP night out on Friday 14 September, hosted by Aastra’s UK general manager, Michael Calvert and Aastra’s EMEA sales manager, Anne Warren.

Michael Calvert said, “England might have lost the match against South Africa, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of our winning SIP resellers.  Both Siracom and Telappliant did a fantastic job in reaching their targets and this was a great way to say thank you.  SIP continues to be a major growth area for our business as enterprises capitalise on the huge benefits to be gained from open standards-based telephony solutions.”

Darren Clare (Technical Director) from Siracom says, “We all had a great night out.  We really enjoy working with the Aastra team and their SIP product range.”  This was echoed by a comment from Sunny Singh Channel Sales & Development Manager at Telappliant, “Aastra SIP handsets are highly featured, have great looks, are competitively priced and always work!  This does help to make our sales targets that much easier to achieve and so it’s a great bonus to be entertained to a Rugby night at Billingsgate too!.”
