For BCN Telecom, sustainable growth is built on balance. President & COO Julian Jacquez and CMO Jeanne Duca describe their telecom partner ecosystem as a three-legged stool: employees, partners, and customers. When one leg weakens, the whole structure falters — but when all are strong, success scales.
Partner Ecosystem as a Growth Engine
BCN goes to market exclusively through channel partners. “We go to market one hundred percent through those relationships,” Julian says. Rather than invest in a direct sales force, BCN empowers partners who already hold customer trust.
This approach reflects broader industry trends. Javed Ikbal emphasized the role of trust in strategic partnerships, while Jon Manes discussed building resilient partner ecosystems as a cornerstone of telecom success.
It’s also the same model supported by Bigleaf Hybrid WAN, which enables partners to deliver reliable, application-aware connectivity without requiring complex configurations at customer sites.
Employee Engagement Drives Customer Outcomes
“You cannot have happy customers if you don’t have happy employees,” Julian explains. BCN links performance bonuses to partner satisfaction and runs regular employee surveys to stay aligned.
This alignment between internal culture and external outcomes echoes the goals of Bigleaf Service Provider Partnerships. Just as BCN empowers channel partners, Bigleaf equips service providers to deliver performance and reliability to end customers across diverse industries.
Trust as a Performance Indicator
For Jeanne, trust isn’t soft. It shows up in referrals, renewals, and unsolicited advocacy. Even if it doesn’t fit neatly into a CRM report, trust is measurable through outcomes.
In practice, this means trust functions as a business KPI. It may not be expressed in dollars on a balance sheet, but its impact is real. By treating trust as tangible, BCN reinforces the power of a well-balanced telecom partner ecosystem.
Why the Three-Legged Stool Matters
The three-legged stool framework shows that telecom success isn’t about technology alone. It’s about balancing employees, partners, and customers in a way that creates durable growth.
BCN’s three-legged stool framework is more than a metaphor — it drives real business outcomes. Their strategic partnership with Adaptiv Networks expanded their SD-WAN portfolio through collaboration, demonstrating how channel partnerships fuel innovation. At the same time, BCN’s C-Suite expansions highlight the leadership investments that ensure employees, partners, and customers remain equally supported.
That philosophy is visible in solutions like Bigleaf Connect Care, which provides proactive monitoring and partner support. By pairing human relationships with technical resilience, service providers and customers both benefit.
