INDUSTRY VETERAN LAUNCHES MASTER AGENT PROGRAM FOR TELECOM VALUE-ADDED RESELLERS
Aligned Communications Gives VARs Access to Multiple Carrier Contracts, Quoting System Powered by MasterStream
DALLAS (October 23, 2008) – Dave Wallace launches Aligned Communications, a Master Agent Program for LAN Integrators, PBX Resellers, and Independent Agents offering telecommunication solutions to small and mid-sized businesses.
Prior to forming Aligned Communications, Wallace successfully built a channel program consisting of more than 2,500 VARs for Cbeyond, a leading IP-based managed services provider of IT and communications services for small businesses.
In 2008 PHONE+ ranked Cbeyond as a Top 50 Channel Program, which was a reflection of Wallace’s vision, leadership and ability to build an agent-friendly channel sales model. Wallace also finished as a finalist for the 2008 PHONE+ Channel Executive of the Year.
“Launching a Master Agent Program enables me to share my industry expertise and insights into the telecom competitive landscape with my agent community,” said Wallace. “Aligned Communications offers VARS access to best practices, extensive marketing resources, and generous compensation plans.”
With a Referral Program and Agent Program, VARs are able to leverage Aligned Communications to better serve their SMB customers and increase their revenue streams.
Through its Referral Program VARs can leverage the team at Aligned Communications for carrier selection and receive a referral fee.
By participating in the Agent Program, VARs have two options for generating revenue. They can manage the sales process with the customer, and receive a one-time upfront payment after the installations, or they can choose monthly income for the life of the customer in the form of residual payments.
Regardless of program selection, VARs can leverage Aligned Communications’ agent web portal powered by MasterStream to simplify and streamline quoting, track orders, and reconcile commissions.
Wallace concluded, “Aligned Communications knows that in a tough economy, SMBs are cautious about their telecom spending. To ensure they are making the right choice, our Master Agent Program enables VAR's to offer an objective search for the exact telecom provider that fits their customers' operational and budget needs.”
