Telecom; Past, Present, and The Cloud

With Christmas under our belt, ’tis the season to take a look at the past, present, and future. In Telecom and technology, we’ve seen a huge movement toward mobility. Everywhere we look, someone is utilizing a mobile device, for personal use, professional, or both. Businesses are trying to take advantage of the edge they can attain over their competitors and what better way to do it than staying connected to employees and customers 24/7 if they choose- for little or no extra cost. This has led to the SMB’s gaining that competitive edge over the larger businesses.

When we reflect on the past and look into our future for 2014, we also see a clear trend toward the Cloud. Questions still remain about it, but many have adapted the Cloud to their business strategies and for good reason. The benefits are, again the competitive edge, more possibilities and applications available, lower costs, typically easy integration- no need for extra equipment. The concerns still border along the security issues, which is why 2014 will likely be a big year for resolving those concerns and issues.

NWMAP offers multiple carrier strategies for implementing the Cloud and other Telecom services. Trusted carriers who have Cloud security services, dedicated networks for reliability, security, and flexibility. There are so many options available and we believe we’re in the right spot for our clients to pick and choose what fits them best. We don’t charge for reviewing your current services and we offer free quotes as well: https://nwmap.com/contact-us

So You Want to be a Telecom Agent? Or Just Earn Extra Cash?

There’s benefits to being a Telecom agent…make your own hours, do as much or as little for what suits your life and needs, create a residual income, make money up front with carrier promos (monthly, seasonal, quarterly). One additional benefit if you choose to partner with NWMAP, we set you up with the tools you need. We also serve as your backup system- you need us, we’re there, you get sales, we take it from there. We help assure our clients/ your clients are well taken care of.

NWMAP does not pressure you to sell certain products or services. It’s very different from the sales agent who works for one specific Telecom company. Sometimes they are told what to say, what to sell, and so forth. We have/offer multiple carriers for a reason, so our clients get what they want, but also so our agents can offer what IS BEST for our clients…a best fit is what we like to call it.

There’s lots of Fall and end of year promos going on. Make some extra cash for your holiday pocket and join our team!

Telecom in the News!

Each month NWMAP Telecom likes to feature Telecom events that made it in the news or pertinent info to your need-to-know Telecom info. We haven’t updated this in a couple of months now so we’d like to start anew this month by sharing WHERE we get our news from.

Many sites have frequently updated Tech and Telecom info in abundance, but not all of it is pertinent to everyone. We focus on widespread news that benefits or affects many people. Lately we’ve been focusing on business, sales approach, and other aspects within the Telecom industry itself.

Some great daily info for CIO’s and even CEO’s is at the Harvard Business Review site under the “Blogs” section: http://blogs.hbr.org/ There is a lot of info here from leadership, sales approaches, innovation, and all the other buzz words of the day. Some of it is based largely on opinions, making it subjective in nature, However, there are some gems here so keep on the lookout. Our favorite this month was: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2013/07/want_to_raise_prices_tell_a_be.html

We also like our Telecom carriers’ blogs. NWMAP has over 40 carriers we represent. These are specific to the needs of our agents at NWMAP and people in the industry. We like Intelysis Blog and Telecom Channel Blog:http://www.intelisys.com/press . Another good one is 8×8: http://www.8×8.com/AboutUs/8x8Blog.aspx

For the daily grind: http://www.networkworld.com/topics/unified-communications.html and http://www.infoworld.com/news. Oh, and one more:http://www.fiercetelecom.com/news . You’re going to find company specific news here and news on the big ones like Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and Google, etc.
