“Channel Managers are usually the first people our Partners connect with,” says Managing Partner Alan Sandler. “What makes them special is the way they genuinely care about the solutions they bring to the table. It shows in the extra effort they put in, their attention to detail, and their willingness to always go the extra mile. Partners love the insights, but what really makes these award winners stand out is how they team up with them to find the right approach that works for the customer and creates a great experience. That’s what our community is all about.”
Also at this year’s National Summit, Sandler Partners’ designated charity, the Surfrider Foundation, hosted an informational exhibit to help attendees learn about the Surfrider mission of protecting the world’s oceans and how to become involved personally and through donations.
