Building for the Future

So many projects are going on that have my excitement level at all time highs. Our office is a buzz with ringing phones with other master telecom agents and VAR partners wanting to work with us. Our new Master Agent Program and soon-to-be launched VAR Program are allowing us to partner with some very potent agents; the kind that have worked in the industry for a long time and know their stuff, not to mention the relationships they've forged over the course of many years.

We were also recently blessed with another award from one of our T-1 carriers, namely Network Innovations: 2005 Top Agent. We do a lot of intralata point-to-point circuits with them, not to mention the flat rate T1 which never goes above $750/month, even in the most remote areas of the country. Network Innovations uses the AT&T and MCI backbones, so our customers are very happy with the reliability and stability of the service.

June is looking to be a big month for new programs, as we have our "super" VAR program that will roll out. The super-VAR program is much like our Master Agent program, complete with customizable private-labeled back office, but will focus on the needs of big VAR companies with dozens of installers and coordinators. This will open further doors into T1 prospects that we would never find on the internet. It is our goal to have the VARs refer 50% of our volume by the end of 2006, which is a very lofty goal but one I truly feel we can accomplish.
