For the eighth year in a row, Hartman has earned a spot on the CRN Channel Chiefs List
Scottsdale, Ariz., February 7, 2022 – PlanetOne today announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Jonathan Hartman, Senior Vice President of Sales, to the 2022 Channel Chiefs list. CRN’s annual Channel Chiefs project identifies top IT channel vendor executives who continually demonstrate expertise, influence, and innovation in channel leadership.
As Senior Vice President of Sales for PlanetOne, Hartman has played an instrumental role during the last 12 months in PlanetOne’s successful transformation into a technology sourcing partner, trusted today by hundreds of partners nationwide for its ability to identify and deliver cloud-based and connectivity solutions to SMBs and enterprises. In 2021, PlanetOne changed its engagement model, embracing new processes and unveiling SENTIENT, a disruptive, intelligent enterprise-grade sales engagement and enablement platform powered by AI. This resulted in a record year that positions PlanetOne for explosive expansion in 2022 and beyond.
“Success for partners in 2022 means pivoting toward a new sales motion put in place by SENTIENT,” said Hartman. “With SENTIENT, PlanetOne partners get real-time visibility and account-based business intelligence across their existing base of customers, as well as prospects. From sales funnel management to project management to commissions, PlanetOne channel sales partners, VARs and MSPs can use SENTIENT throughout the entire sales cycle and beyond including marketing, pricing, and quoting, as well as uncovering and managing post-sale, cross-sale, and up-sale opportunities.”
Ted Schuman, Founder and CEO, PlanetOne, said, “The market is undergoing a fundamental shift. Now, more than ever, partners are turning to PlanetOne as a trusted technology sourcing partner that can expertly guide them as the market continues to evolve. Jonathan’s deep understanding of the industry, his skill and technical expertise have contributed significantly to the success of PlanetOne, our partner and our suppliers. We are thrilled to be celebrating with Jonathan and congratulate him on eight incredible years as a CRN Channel Chief.”
The 2022 Channel Chiefs are influential leaders who continue to shape the IT channel with innovative strategies, programs, and partnerships.
