Wildix’s 2024 Partner Day, held at the iconic Silverstone Museum on October 24–25, brought together partners from across the UK and Ireland for two days of insightful sessions, networking, and celebration. This annual gathering underscored Wildix’s commitment to strengthening partnerships and exploring innovations within the communications industry.
During the Partner Day, Wildix announced the launch of The Sales Elevate Lab, an initiative led by Alberto Benigno, CSO of Wildix, designed to enhance sales teams’ skills and capabilities by providing training and resources to improve their sales strategies. Wildix launched it to empower partners with the tools needed to increase sales performance and drive business growth in the competitive communication technology market.
