Newcastle-Under-Lyme software solution specialist Hilltops IT has been ranked the fourth best partner in the world for its exceptional performance in satisfying and growing its customer base through its overall dedication to delivering quality software solutions.
Hilltops IT is a long-standing sales and development partner for US software author Aspire Technologies, whose products include the QuoteWerks package for sales quotations which is used by over 50,000 users worldwide.
Aspire has acknowledged Hilltops IT, which delivers solutions for customers in many diverse verticals (from IT and scientific to industrial catering and promotional gifts) as a top ten international partner for its outstanding delivery of the QuoteWerks software for the third consecutive year.
Hilltops IT’s (Owner Director) Stephen Siggs attributes the success to hard work, a talented team, and membership of Vistage International, the world’s leading chief executives’ organisation whose members are committed to outperforming.
Steve, who joined Vistage in March 2008 to help him to further develop the business, pays tribute to how Vistage has enabled him to power Hilltops IT to new heights.
He said: “I had heard about the powerful results which members derive from being involved in Vistage groups and wanted to also reap the benefits for my company. In less than a year I am already seeing key developments such as better projection and positioning of Hilltops IT in the marketplace, improved management of staff, customers and suppliers, plus a better focus on the strategic areas within my business which will achieve overall growth.
Vistage International, which has eight groups in the West Midlands, brings together business leaders for robustly challenging monthly development sessions, at which they act like each other’s non-executive directors. With more than 15,000 members globally, it develops MDs, CEOs and key reports who value having their answers and thinking questioned through confidential peer group sessions and one-to-one interaction.
Said Vistage Chair Richard Ward who facilitates the monthly group meetings and 1-2-1 development sessions: “In today’s tough climate, delighting and retaining existing customers while growing your customer base is more challenging than ever. Vistage attracts members who are seeking to outperform their personal and business expectations and who display strong leadership skills to motivate their teams through turbulent times. This award is a great testimony to Hilltops IT’s powerful success.”
