@Hewlett Packard Enterprise Global Channel Chief @PaulHunter Wednesday said the company's Next restructuring initiative is paying off in a "significant" increase in the sales funnel for #HPE partners. "Because we are faster to price we are getting more [sales] at bats," said Hunter, speaking about speed-to-quote and speed-to-price trials that are paying off for partners. "We are seeing growth in the velocity of the business for deals to medium-sized customers. The funnel is growing quicker and the number of quotes is increasing. It's a velocity machine, and we are speeding up the amount of business we are winning."

"This is improving the overall experience of the partner delivering quotes to customers, which is the bread and butter of doing business" said Hunter. "It is simpler for the partners to transact with us. Where we are quicker, it leads to a pretty significant increase in business." Hunter, who took the global channel chief job six months ago, made the comments in an in an interview with CRN after a two-day, worldwide Partner Advisory Board meeting with 22 partners from 11 countries around the world.
