Harwell, Oxfordshire - 3 April 2007

As part of the ongoing membership engagement activity for FSC Rewards, the new Fujitsu Siemens online partner incentive programme launched in November 2006, over 1,000 partners have been contacted by Loyaltynet who manage and operate the programme for Fujitsu Siemens.

"The response to rewarding members for completion of online product training has been extremely positive," says Phil Thomson, Managing Director at Loyaltynet. "Very often incentive programmes are not seen as offering members any way of helping them achieve the goals set and earning the rewards on offer. Learn to Earn means that members of the programme are not simply rewarded for completing the training, but are then able to apply what they have learnt in order to increase their sales effectiveness, and then be further rewarded for increased sales".

Alex Sogorb, Director of London based IT solutions reseller and FSC partner, Netdata Europe Ltd commented, "Everyone's a winner".

Ian Leigh, Channel Development Manager at Fujitsu Siemens said, "We have always attached the highest priority to training for our partners. The challenge has often been identifying a range of appropriate delivery mechanisms. Blending incentivisation with training is now a vital element of our approach".

Loyaltynet manage online incentive programmes, and will enable Fujitsu Siemens to increase partner sales and in return offer participants a wide range of exciting rewards. In combination with the conventional approach of rewarding increased sales, Loyaltynet will help Fujitsu Siemens achieve improved Return on Investment (RoI) within the programme by making channel partners more effective in how they sell product. Loyaltynet blends learning with incentives based on 'Learn to Earn' and will use Fujitsu Siemens' current e-learning training materials, and run as an extension of the existing Fujitsu Siemens Channel Partner Portal.
