ACT ACA Pacific/Quantum

State Manager, ANZ Channel Manager
07.2020 - Current

Job overview

  • ACA
  • ACA Pacific Pioneers in in the value-added supply of information technology hardware and software solutions
  • Since 1998 they have linked Solution Providers with Vendors throughout the Asia Pacific region, identifying markets and technologies that shape the ICT Industry
  • Within both roles, my job is to create a seamless conversation with end users, as well as partners
  • This enables me to be able to understand end user requirements, without having to rely on the Partner
  • By doing this, I can then place the Partner in front of the End user, with all the information they require, with us all being on the same page
  • Once this is done, especially on the Quantum side, I can then engage the Quantum Technical team to take the lead - Then I can move on to the next opportunity
  • However, I do check in with both Parties to see how everything is progressing
  • Responsibility is mine to look after all the Quantum Renewals, to make sure that they are current, and to find any opportunities to upgrade
  • Once again, I reach out to the end users, start a conversation, and bring in the team behind me
  • ZOHO – CRM I have rebuilt the database, for the whole team, making sure that all details are current and up to date
  • All notes are relative, with each partner allocated to each Account Manager in each state
  • Each customer I am connected with on Linkedin, so if they move, I am able to update records from our side
  • The eDM’s have a 98% hit rate, and is kept very clean and current
  • Every day, I check all States sales reports, making sure that all new partners are also up to date within ZOHO – built from 50 – 4600 contacts and 3900 Partners and still going!
  • Cold calling is another one of my loves! Don’t know why, but I enjoy the challenge and the discussions
  • Also, it’s always good to see a good way to meet new people
  • I work also on EOSL’s – This is where I reach out to End Users that may have historically used a product in the past, and will work to re-engage them (This is why working with the End User directly is so important)
  • Working alongside Vendors is also fun – I organise events – from the Venue to the catering
  • Reaching out to the Partners, inviting them, dietary requirements, meeting, greeting, introducing and following up
  • Love being a team player - Making sure that everything is like a pane of glass for all
  • Gives the best results, making it easy for a team to work together – such a good sense of achievement
  • I think I just love communications
