Selling Telecom Technology

Addressing the usual concerns business decision makers have about employing new technology can assist with getting a Telecom Agent’s foot in the door. At NWMAP we put the customer first and we have to be on their side through the whole process; from giving free quotes, bill reviews, and helpful suggestions to implementing the services and products.

Some of these concerns range from acceptance of new technology among employees, cost and extra expenses, confusion, bombarded with too much info, actual convenience and payoff of new technology. For many business owners, everything seems risky in this economy. They are literally trusting their business to you as an agent of Telecom. Technology is not meant to add confusion or anxiety, but rather to aid a business and its people in being efficient, productive, and excited to utilize new tools. The focus must be on their specific needs.

With all the latest technology and affordability we’ve seen in the Telecom industry over the last several years, businesses have the ability to run optimally and competitively. Comprehensive training is also an essential component in making new technological transitions convenient for everyone involved. It is important that people view available Telecom technology as a tool of convenience, not burden in any way, including and especially financially. In essence, this is a job for Telecom agents. Know your products and present it as a cost-saving, convenient way of doing business applicable to everyone and every business.

Telecom Agents~ Confusion About Integra Telecom Fiber Lit Buildings

Integra Telecom would like to clear up some confusion concerning the expression, “lit building”. Integra has its own fiber in that building. Agents may be under the impression that, because a building is ‘lit’, you can automatically sell access via that fiber without further ado.

 That is not always the case. Just because a building is lit, does not mean they can provide the service to sell. Sometimes gear can be added to accommodate other tenants, but that change requires a Build Cost Justification (iCert) and it is a significant cost. The iCert can take days or weeks to gather information.

 When you inquire whether a building has Integra fiber in it, Integra can give you a yes or a no. They will not investigate which equipment it has. Because Integra gets several requests with the question (‘is it lit?’), it can take a lot of time to do checks on each building. So, the moral of the story here is you don’t sell fiber access the way you sell DSL. If you have a serious lead in a building, and you want to know if they can provide services via Integra fiber, you must provide following details;

  • How much bandwidth is being requested?
  • Is the hand-off electrical or optical?
  • Does the circuit need any form of ‘protection’?
  • Is the customer willing to cover the cost of the demark extension (this is frequently needed, and Integra does not cover it)?

*A capacity check can take a day or so and ask for ICB price (all fiber builds/augments are ICBs – there is no ‘standard’ price to augment a fiber install). Thank you in advance to all our Agents.
