ShopforT3.com Reaches Major Milestone: $3M in Monthly Billing
DRAPER, Utah -October 30, 2008 - ShopforT3.com, a
master agency wholly owned by Telarus Inc and provider of real-time T1 price
quoting through it's patent-pending GeoQuote technology, today announced
it's book of business has reached $3 million in total monthly recurring revenue.
"It's an honor to reach the $3 million dollar plateau just six years after
starting this company from nothing" commented Adam Edwards, president and
CEO of Telarus, Inc. He continued, "The magnitude of this achievement is
further compounded by the fact that we did it while our economy is in the
midst of a slow down coupled with continued carrier price erosion. Even
in the midst of all of that, our agents were able to make up the difference
by focusing on new opportunities they uncovered through our lead programs,
upselling services to existing clients, brining in larger ticket sales
through complex solution selling, and by retaining existing customers.
It's hard to grow a book of business when existing customers are slipping
out the back door."
Some initiatives that attract new partners to Telarus include:
- Fiber mapping software integrated with Google Maps
- Instant quotes for commercial data and voice services
- Warm internet leads delivered exclusively to selling agents
- Targeted cold leads delivered by vendors to qualified agents
- VARNetwork.com, which generates equipment leads to VARs as a reward for carrier service referrals
- GeoQuote 2.1 plug-ins for public-facing affiliate web sites
"The one million dollar mark (Feb 2006) was great because it validated our business model" added
Lance Akins, VP of Sales for Telarus, Inc. "The two million dollar mark (Jan 2007) proved that Telarus
was built to scale without being crushed under the weight of our own success. The three million
dollar mark (Oct 2008) demonstrated the successful execution of our 'up market' strategy of
focusing on high-end agents who service Fortune 1000 businesses. Services like Ethernet, MPLS,
and SIP continue to lay the foundation for our climb to $4 million."
"Telarus and ShopforT1.com really are different," added Patrick Oborn, co-founder of Telarus, Inc. and
company VP of Marketing. "We hope that our recent achievement of reaching the $3 million dollar
book of business, plus the recognition we've received from U.S. Business
Review, along with Phone+ Magazine (top 50 Channel Program), CRN Magazine (Emerging
Technology Channel), VARBusiness Magazine (5-Star Gold Partner Program), and from the members
of the Telecom Association (Top Master Agent for 2008) - will convince agents that
they should give Telarus a try. We really do have real-time quotes and fiber look-up tools, we really do
deliver warm leads to our performing agents, we really do generate equipment leads
for the VAR partners of our agent base, it's all just too much for an elevator story.
All we ask for is a chance to earn their business by making their telecom sales
agency more streamlined with our technology and profitable through our lead programs."
