Leading international business process outsourcer Vertex, with operations in The United Kingdom, Canada, North America and India, has gained international recognition with a global Sales Excellence Award from The iCSP, the Texas based Institute of Certified Sales Professionals.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) June 21, 2004 -- Vertex becomes the first global company to achieve The iCSP Corporate Sales Excellence Award™ which recognizes companies who take a formal comprehensive approach to sales effectiveness and have reached "World Class" standards of best practice across their sales professionals, sales management and sales operations.

This international, annually audited sales quality award is presented to organizations who reach a standard of distinction, demonstrate their commitment to continuous process improvement, quality, integrity and professionalism in sales across the entire sales operation. The result is revenue increase and a world-class sales engagement experience for employees, prospects and customers alike.

Vertex achieved the award as a result of executive sales management driving a rigorous 14 month in-house World-Class Sales Excellence Program to embed cross industry best practices in sales processes, sales management and sales staff development.

The company's rapid growth and recent outsourcing wins in a very competitive market is an early demonstration of Vertex’s world-class sales engagement capability enabling them to widen the gap on their competitors.

Executive Vice President of The iCSP, Dylan Gray, said "The leadership that the Vertex executive sales management team have shown in successfully pursuing The iCSP Sales Excellence Award™ across the entire sales organization is a testament to their commitment to their customers.

By committing to these significant upgrades to sales operations, sales management, sales staff development and sales process, Vertex have ensured that the quality of sales engagement is as high as the quality of service the company is renowned for."
