Barracuda Networks recently awarded its top performing partners from the EMEA region with trip to Paris, France, where partners enjoyed VIP tickets to Tour de France.
The event that celebrates the highest levels of sporting excellence and physical endurance presented a perfect environment for the company to acknowledge the winners of its EMEA-wide quarterly sales incentive, as it continues to enjoy strong growth across the Middle East region.
Barracuda Networks who are also the sponsors of the Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda cycle team, were joined at the finish line by its best performing partners over the past three months, including top-selling Middle East partner New Heights International, along with Barracuda Networks customers including London’s Hippodrome Casino, representatives said.
Attendees were given VIP seats on the Champs-Elysees in Paris to witness the finale of the world-renowned cycling event. This rounded off a full day’s hospitality in the French capital, which also included lunch at the US Embassy.
Michael Hughes, VP worldwide sales at Barracuda Networks, said, “The demand for IT security has never been higher across Europe. We are committed to a 100% channel model as the best way to meet this demand. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank our partners for their continued success. We hope events such as today will provide the incentive for them to achieve further growth through the rest of the year.”
The sales incentive was held amongst Barracuda Networks’ Diamond Partners between April and June 2012. It rewarded the best local sales performers across nine key European regions (full list below). Also rewarded were the holders of the largest customer seminar and the partner that secured the biggest individual deal.
