Bell Micro launches Security Sales Academy training 
(16/10/2007)
Bell Micro has announced the launch of its Security Sales Academy training initiative, dedicated to raising the number of skilled security sales people in the small-medium business (SMB) and enterprise channel.
Sales staff from resellers that attend the Academy will receive a one day security overview course that outlines the challenges that end users currently face and demonstrate the range of solutions that are available to address them.
This introductory phase is then followed by a further two days of intensive product training at Bell Micro's Chessington facility. Here, leading security market vendors will provide training along with all necessary sales toolkits, datasheets and competitive information.
As part of the Academy initiative participants will also obtain access to exclusive campaigns and offers from supporting vendors which include; Barracuda, Clearswift, IBM’s Internet Security Systems, McAfee, RSA, Secure Computing, SonicWall and Symantec.
“Bell Micro is perfectly positioned in the marketplace to bring resellers and vendors together. The Security Sales Academy delivers to the channel exactly the type of real world support and training that the community has been crying out for,” said Antony Young, Director of Partner Services and Security at Bell Micro. “We are especially delighted with the strong support shown for this initiative by our sponsoring vendors, companies which recognise the importance of their reseller community, and value sales teams with the cross skills necessary to work in the lucrative security arena.”
All participants will receive regular, post training access to Bell Micro's product management team and pre-sales consultants. For those channel partners registering teams of people, there will be further invitations to participate in exclusive marketing and lead generation campaigns with the sponsoring vendors.
The first Security Sales Academy opens on 5th November 2007.
