Sage CEO Circle notes

Revenue definitions:

  • New license revenue only includes product sales to new customers.
  • Product revenue includes: customer new licenses, add-ons, upgrades, and training (excludes: reseller fees, software for partner's internal use, forms, professional services, and authorized training center [ATC] signup and renewal fees.)
  • All awards are based upon actual revenue to Sage and do not include tier dollars from tier promotions.

Award recognition and award benefits qualification details:

  • Sage CEO Circle winners, including the Sage North America Top Three Partners (including Business Partner of the Year), are eligible to be recognized in multiple Sage CEO Circle categories.
  • Partners who win in multiple categories will receive recognition for each category in which they win; however, they can only earn the Sage CEO Circle trip in one category—for the category in which they achieved the highest revenue. See more details.
  • For qualification toward any of the awards, combined revenues of business partners that merge or acquire other Sage partners will only be recognized if the merger or acquisition was finalized prior to April 1, 2016, (pre-approval by Sage  required). For mergers or acquisitions after April 1, 2016, each office will compete separately.

Additional notes and qualifying criteria:

  • Only company principals (owner, president, and so on) are qualified to attend the Sage CEO Circle trip. No other representative attendees may participate. There may be no substitutions, and the Sage business partner forfeits attendance to the event if he or she cannot attend for any reason.
  • Qualifying Partner Company must have attended and/or sponsored Sage Summit 2016.
  • Partner must be in good standing with Sage, including good credit standing.
  • Sage reserves the right to make changes to the Sage CEO Circle awards program in its sole discretion.
