President's Circle notes
Award recognition and award benefits qualification details:
President’s Circle winners, including the Sage North America business partner of the year awards, are eligible to be recognized in multiple President’s Circle categories. Partners who win in multiple categories will receive recognition for each category in which they win; however, they can only earn the President’s Circle trip in one category–for the category in which they achieved the highest revenue except for multiple-category winners of Sage North America Business Partner of the Year awards, where the President’s Circle trip will be awarded in hierarchical order starting with new license revenue, new license growth, and then top revenue.
The partner who is next in line in the ranking for the award category will receive the awards trip—and will be honored alternatively with a special "outstanding performer" recognition instead of the original "top" or "highest" President’s Circle category recognition. The “top” or “highest” President's Circle category recognition will be granted to the actual winner of the award.
Example: Partner A wins in the following two President’s Circle categories:
- Sage North America business partner of the year for top new license growth category (1 spot)
- Top new license sales for Sage 100, Sage 300, and Sage 500 category (1 spot)
Partner A will be the winner for both categories and receive that recognition; however, they will earn the award benefits trip for just one of those categories.
Then, the next top ranking partner for the top new license sales for Sage 100, Sage 300, and Sage 500 category (partner B) alternatively will be awarded the "outstanding performer for new license sales for Sage 100, Sage 300, and Sage 500" award, but will not be recognized as the top new license sales for Sage 100, Sage 300, and Sage 500 winner, since partner A already officially won in that category. However, partner B will earn the awards trip for that category.
Additional notes:
- New license revenue only includes product sales to new customers.
- Product revenue includes: customer new licenses, add-ons, upgrades, and training (Excludes: reseller fees, software for partner's internal use, forms, professional services, and authorized training center (ATC) signup and renewal fees.)
- Only company principals (owner, president, and so on) are qualified to attend the President's Circle trip. No other representative attendees may participate, unless the principal is also present. There may be no substitutions, and the Sage business partner forfeits attendance to the event if he or she cannot attend for any reason.
- All awards are based upon actual revenue to Sage and do not include tier dollars from tier promotions.
- Partner must be in good standing with Sage, including good credit standing.
- Sage reserves the right to make changes to the Partner Advantage Award Series in its sole discretion.
