5. I would like to recognize Sergey Podwalny as MVP for our Office 365 TSS Team. Sergey has gone above and beyond the
call of duty numerous times in assisting the team with level 100 Office 365 demos, technology solution questions, and
jumping on calls across the team to help drive Office 365 revenue. Sergey demonstrates a unique passion for his role
and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Keeping the customer’s vision and business drivers at the forefront of his
conversations has landed Sergey over 150% of YTD Closed Business for Office 365. In addition to being a lead on
Outlook version of CRM Project, Sergey is constantly driving results oriented best practices across the sales floor. Sergey
has been recognized by his Microsoft Counterparts as having an incredible follow through and responsiveness with
customers. His knowledge, presentation skills, and follow through are second to none.
Here are some of the strategies Sergey has developed as a daily rhythm of business:
Continues to develop a strong network within Territory Unit
Heavy Focus on Cloud offerings, licensing, and score card items
Emphasis on account profiling and customer satisfaction (GRS)
Weekly touches with members of TTU – V-Team Sync’s on weekly basis
Regular ROB Calls with LSP’s, TSS’, ITM’s, and TM’s
Continues to enhance knowledge of Microsoft Solutions/Licensing and programs
Communication is always Top Priority

6. Raphael and Teri,
I wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated working with Sergey
for the past 8 months as a CTM seller. I am now moving on as ASM for NCD
CTM, and am so happy to be introducing him to my replacement. Sergey
has to be one of the most responsive people I have worked with at Microsoft
(period), and his follow-through is incredible. He doesn’t put anything down
until it’s finished, or appropriately handed off. His knowledge, presentation
skills and follow-through are second-to-none. THANK YOU for having him
on our team!!
Kindest Regards,
Susan
