This is AVI-SPL\u2019s third consecutive win, following two years of winning SAMA\u2019s Outstanding Young SAM Program award where the organization recognized AVI-SPL\u2019s Global Accounts Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award recognizes AVI-SPL\u2019s ability to grow its evolving Strategic Accounts programs to create measurable and meaningful value with strategic customers. AVI-SPL\u2019s Strategic Accounts programs comprise its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/avispl.mx\/solutions\/global-account-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Account Management program<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/avispl.mx\/news\/avi-spl-launches-enterprise-accounts-management-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enterprise Accounts Management program<\/a>. According to SAMA, the annual Excellence Awards honor B2B companies who achieve unparalleled success at elevating relationships with key customers by solving their most critical business problems. Winners not only elevate their programs\u2019 stature internally but also demonstrate to their clients their commitment to delivering a world-class customer experience. AVI-SPL\u2019s Joe Laezza, senior vice president of strategic accounts, and Danielle Matteson, vice president of strategic accounts, received the honor during SAMA\u2019s virtual annual conference on May 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAVI-SPL remains committed to establishing and maintaining a trusted advisor partnership that results in measurable business outcomes for our most valued clients,\u201d says Laezza. \u201cThis recognition further validates our unique and proven methodology as we continue to focus on helping our clients navigate the digitalization of their in-office and remote workforce to effectively operate in such unprecedented times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the stresses and uncertainties presented by the pandemic, companies have needed expert guidance and the solutions that keep them collaborating across the enterprise. AVI-SPL\u2019s SAM program has helped its most valued global clients by leading strategic planning discussions focused on the most critical client business challenges, ranging from supporting work-from-home collaboration to redesigning the way people work as organizations plan for the return to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany companies come to SAMA for help with establishing a strategic accounts program,\u201d says Denise Freier, president and CEO of SAMA.&nbsp;\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly hard to get a program off the ground, but once they do, they have an even bigger task: Scale the program and make sure it\u2019s built for the long haul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen a company evolve its SAM program as quickly and successfully as AVI-SPL, from its initial launch in 2018 to its win this year for Outstanding Mature SAM Program,\u201d says Freier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AVI-SPL is in esteemed company with this recognition.
