Bigger and better than ever with new categories added, the 2020 Awards will once again ensure that effort and quality throughout channel engagement processes are recognised. (see awards categories)
Specifically aimed at teams rather than individuals, the Comms Dealer Sales and Marketing Awards will this year be fully supported by Digital Wholesale Solutions – which takes up its position as lead sponsor for the first time this year.

A Word from our Headline Sponsor, Digital Wholesale Solutions
“Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to win multiple Comms Dealer Sales and Marketing Awards, so we have experienced first-hand the positive impact it has on a team. Entering the Awards can be a huge incentive for your teams as they want to win and celebrate their accomplishments.”
“Winning, or even being shortlisted for these Awards, brings a huge uplift in morale as everyone feels valued and they can see how their hard work is paying off. Last year, our IP Specialists team won the Sales Support Team of the Year Award for the hands-on support they provide to our partners. When they were announced as the winner, it was clear to see how much it meant to the team and it was a fantastic opportunity to recognise their contribution to not only our business, but the wider Channel as well.”
“We’re proud to be the headline sponsor of the Comms Dealer Sales and Marketing Awards for the first time, and we encourage Channel businesses, both large and small, to enter the awards and celebrate their teams’ hard work and successes.”
