Los Angeles, California, 1/7/2010 – TelePacific Communications, a leading provider of business telecommunications solutions serving customers in Nevada and California, introduced today new channel leadership and agent support for 2010.
Ken Bisnoff, senior vice president of strategic opportunities will return to take a more active role in TelePacific’s Telepartner Channel. A 2007-08 Phone+ Channel Executive of the year nominee and Phone+ Advisory Board member, Bisnoff launched TelePacific’s Telepartner Channel program in 2002 and has been involved in multiple Executive assignments since that time.
“I am enthusiastic about getting more involved with our Telepartners again, and I look forward to the continued success of the program,” said Bisnoff.
TelePacific’s Telepartner Channel has received several awards from agents through both Phone+ and the Telecommunications Association including:
- Telecom Association’s Members Choice Award for LEC/CLEC for two consecutive years
- Telecom Association’s Top 5 Carrier Award
- Telecom Association’s Top 5 Integrated Access Service
- Five awards from Phone+ for Top Channel Management from 2007-2009
- Multiple nominations to Phone+ Channel Executive of the Year
The Channel will continue to be supported by the top agent managers in the county, its Telepartner coordinators, service managers and Bisnoff along with marketing manager Bita Milanian and Channel directors Hilary Gadda and Gary Jacobs. Jacobs is new to the channel though he has been with TelePacific since 2004, most recently as the General Manager of Orange County sales where he had achieved Presidents Club success. He has extensive product, sales and back office experience and is ready to engage with the Telepartner Channel and support the mutual success of our agents and TelePacific.
