RYE BROOK, N.Y. – February 10, 2009 – Broadview Networks, a leading business communications provider, has won the 2009 Stevie Award for Best Sales Support Team, the company announced today.

Broadview Networks received the award during ceremonies last night at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service is an international competition that recognizes excellence in disciplines that are crucial to business success. Other 2009 Stevie Award winners announced at the February 9th gala include Xerox, Hilton Hotels, U S Postal Service, Gartner, and Sherwin-Williams Company.

Broadview Networks was selected for Best Sales Support Team honors over CareerBuilder.com and Golden 1 Credit Union, the two other finalists. The award specifically recognizes the achievements of Broadview’s commissions team, which supports multiple sales channels including direct, agent and affinity partners. In 2008 the team overhauled Broadview’s legacy commissioning systems resulting in expedited payment schedules, reduced processing times, and enhanced reporting capabilities. The team's outstanding performance contributed to greater employee, agent and partner satisfaction.

“The Stevie Award is a noteworthy endorsement of the strength of our commissions team and Broadview’s overall sales support operation,” said Brian Crotty, chief operating officer, Broadview Networks. “Timely and efficient payment of commissions and other incentives is directly tied to Broadview’s ability to attract, motivate and retain valuable employees and business partners.”

“This year’s honorees demonstrate that even in challenging economic times, it’s possible for organizations to continue to shine in sales and customer service, the two most important functions in business: acquiring and keeping customers,” said Michael Gallagher, president of the Stevie Awards.

More than 500 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry competed in numerous categories for the third annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. Broadview was also a 2009 Stevie Award Finalist in the category of Best Sales Training Team. In addition, Broadview has been an award winner and finalist in previous Stevie Award competitions in multiple sales achievement and support categories.
