“I’d like to offer my most sincere congratulations to all of our hard-working, loyal partners on their momentous 2019,” said Scott Forbush, SVP of global sales for Telarus. “Their raw determination and focus on next-generation services like Contact Center, Cybersecurity, and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) helped them raise the bar as we’ve never before seen, and not even a global pandemic can stop us from celebrating their success. I’d like to especially congratulate Darlene Stephens and Todd Gorringe and their team at Elite Telecom Solutions for reaching the top of our partner stack for the first time. They have built a marketing machine that allows them to talk to CIO’s across the country, building world-class relationships with their enterprise customers.

A huge congratulations go out to each and every Top Partner, all of whom continue to reinvest in their business, leverage more Telarus resources than their peers, and focus on selling next-generation cloud products. Despite the global pandemic, 2020 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for our top partners. They focus on helping their clients chart a new technology path driven by cloud applications and work from home requirements. We look forward to their continued success.”
The awards banquet was held together to conclude the “Race to the Summit: Season One” contest in which hundreds of Telarus sales partners completed tasks to earn points and the opportunity to win the grand prize of $25,000 or a 3-year lease on a Tesla Model-S. The live events spanned two days and were held in lieu of Telarus Partner Summit, which was scheduled to occur this week in Nashville, Tennessee, but was canceled due to Coronavirus concerns. After the events, Telarus announced the beginning of “Race to the Summit: Season Two” that runs through December 2, 2020.
