Telecommunications News
News, information, resources, and places to purchase telecommunications products and services, including cell phones, Internet access, webhosting, and other similar telecom items.
I am an independent sales rep for several companies that market telecom products, including Cognigen and SFI (see the SFI V Store).
In addition to providing news and developments from these companies, I'll be covering general news related to telecom, phone services, and the FCC's actions in these areas.
ShopForT1 News

Your opportunities with ShopForT1 continue to increase on a regular basis, as more and more Cognigen agents are seeing that T1 (and larger circuit) sales have closed and they are seeing the commissions. You are encouraged to take the time to understand what you have to offer here, since ShopForT1 is one of the absolute best deals around today.
You find a need for bandwidth, the lead is entered into the system, and a technical professional closes the sale for you! It just doesn't get any better than that!
With the advent and ever-increasing demand for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol, or broadband phone) services for businesses, ShopForT1 is aligned with both Broadvox and Packet8 to provide a bundled solution for customers. This can be a tremendous cost savings for businesses, since a data-only T1 is typically less expensive than an integrated T1 line (combining data and voice circuits). The ShopForT1 closers understand this and are explaining it to customers as a cost-effective option on a regular basis.
The carriers that are represented by ShopForT1 are also noticing the tremendous success, and are continually amazed at the number of orders that are closed. As a result of this, these carriers are regularly offering very generous spiffs, bonuses, and increased commissions to compensate ShopForT1 (and you, the agent) for this continued success.
Is there really an opportunity here? You bet!
Consider that within the United States there are well over a MILLION T1 lines being used. This is a substantial market for you to go after. Now, consider that if a T1 line has been in place for more than 2 years, it is very likely that the customer is paying much more than he should be for it. If that T1 line has been in place for more than 3 years, it is almost certain that the customer is paying more than he needs to for that service. Even "techno-savvy" customers sometimes find it difficult to understand how ShopForT1 can offer such low prices from top-tier carriers. One ShopForT1 closer tells the story that one customer didn't believe the prices he was being quoted by the closer over the phone, so he asked the closer to print the quote and get it notarized, and then fax it to him!
How can ShopForT1 offer such prices from these top-tier carriers?
The name of the game is VOLUME. Based on the volume of business that ShopForT1 provides to all of our carriers every month, those carriers guarantee the best prices possible. That's why the closers don't hesitate to tell the customer which carriers are being quoted, because the guarantee is that the customer cannot go to that same carrier directly and get a better price on the same service.
For you, the agent, ShopForT1 can represent a gold mine. Consider that you don't need to close the sale -- the sale is closed for you by a professional technical consultant at no cost to you or the customer. Also consider that a T1 line or larger circuit is almost always sold on a 1, 2, or 3 year contract. This means that you have a guaranteed commission every month from that customer for the life of the contract, and may ALSO get a one-time bonus or spiff from it.
It just doesn't get any better than this.
Well, we have said that before and it still continues to get better and better, with more tools being added regularly. Don't miss the boat on this tremendous opportunity.
