Color Broadband: "We are LA"
I became a
Color Broadband
agent the hard way, after they kicked my ass in a competitive situation.
I was offering a Los Angeles customer a Covad 8.0 meg fixed wireless
solution and next thing you know, Color Broadband was installing their
service (and the customer was not returning my calls).
Like any good agent who looses a big deal I
decided to find out what I was missing. Two months later I was a
Color Broadband agent and pretty happy about it. In LA you almost
don't need another carrier because Color Broadband really does do it
all, fixed wireless, big data pipes, PRI & hosted VoIP. There's
really nothing your LA business customer could need that Color could not
provide. And, if your customer has locations outside LA, they have
agreements that would allow them to pick up that business as well.
Color Broadband's biggest claim to fame is
their "Land and Air" total dial tone & data redundancy solution .......

CPI Best Master for VARs?
CPI Communications
out of Iowa has recently joined TA as our newest Master Agency vendor
member. In an effort to understand their "sweet spot" in the
market I interviewed CPI President
Cale Perry
 and
CPI Sales Director
Diana Tredrow.
I'm left with the distinct impression they want to be seen as the "Best
Master Agent" for equipment VARs and systems integrators, a highly
professional group with great customer prospects but who need
exceptional care and attention.

CPI or to see how well they can handle your sensitive deal or customer,

Granite Does Canada
Multi-Location POTs Customers in Canada & No Problem for Granite!
About 18 months ago I tried to sell a
simple point-to-point data circuit from the US to Canada. No
problem, right? We're the two biggest trading partners in the
world, right? WRONG!
This week
Granite Telecom
is announcing that they can do Canada:
Granite has completed agreements with the
major Canadian telecommunications companies and is now supporting
consolidation of POTS lines for Canadian locations of US based clients.
As in the US, Granite pricing is a discount off the tariff rate or
commercially published rate of local services. Canadian LD calls, as
well as calls from Canada to the US, will be billed at $0.049 per
minute.
Note that Canada has approximately 2 million business
POTS lines. These agreements allow Granite and its Agent partners to
bring more value to existing clients through further consolidation while
providing an attractive addition to Granite’s value proposition for
potential new users, creating new opportunity for Granite partners to
increase their commissions.
Contact
Charlie Pagliazzo, Director, Alternate Channels,
Granite Telecom,
with any questions regarding Canada consolidation with Granite
Telecommunications.
