Choosing a Partner vs Going Directly to a Carrier for Connectivity

When looking for connectivity solutions, the options can seem endless. It will take a lot of research and time until you figure out what you think will work for your company. This process does not have to be difficult, though.

If you are struggling between choosing a partner or going directly to a carrier, we are here to give you some great insight to help you. Here are five reasons why working with a partner instead of directly with a carrier is beneficial.

1) Pricing. Some people believe that going to a partner costs more than going directly to the carrier. We are here to tell you that it is not true. Partners are only compensated when a sale is made. The goal for partners is to build value for you and your business, not increase the price.

2) Knowledge. Partners provide a well-rounded knowledge about different solutions and carriers. They are your guides to finding you the resources you need. Partners must understand multiple offerings and attend trainings to help you make the right decision.

3) Tech. For partners to successfully get you what you need for your business, it is their job to understand newer technologies. These technologies can save a company money and increase its overall productivity. No single carrier is the master of all technologies, so having an agent can help a company weed through which carrier fits its needs.

The final takeaway is that a partner is a part of your team. They are personally invested in seeing you succeed.

If you have any upcoming telecom projects and would like it to go as smooth as possible, don’t call the carriers directly, give us a shout.
