We spend every day trying to bring them value and keep them loving what we do,” said Greg Bertschmann, president of Harbor Networks (formerly Boston Wireless). “ShoreTel’s recognition of our teams’ continued effort to exceed our customers’ expectations for service is always rewarding.”

ShoreTel’s resellers specialize in delivering ShoreTel’s brilliantly simple solution, including training and supporting end customers, alongside their expertise in other disciplines such as LAN, WAN, call center, voice and data application integration. ShoreTel and its resellers share the same goals including the industry’s highest levels of customer satisfaction, ease-of-use for the UC solutions they provide, and low total cost of ownership for customers.

ShoreTel’s reseller community has many great achievers of high levels of customer satisfaction but only the top 10 percent of ShoreTel resellers receive this prestigious recognition.

NPS is a stringent measure of satisfaction that asks the customer not just how satisfied they are but how likely they would be to recommend the reseller to a friend or colleague.

“Harbor Networks exceptional net promoter score reflects an industry-recognized world-class level of professionalism and customer care in all aspects of the customer experience, it is resellers like Harbor Networks that ensure customers are not only satisfied, but delighted, with ShoreTel products and services,” said Don Joos, vice president of global services for ShoreTel.
