| Adam Edwards and Patrick Oborn accept the top master agent award from Dan Baldwin, president of the Telecom Association |
DRAPER UT, February 25, 2009 - Telarus, Inc., premier telecom master agent and patent holder of real-time carrier quotes, today announced that it has been voted the Top Master Agent for 2009 by members of the Telecom Association. The award is the Association's highest honor in the Master Agent category and is a direct result of votes cast by eligible members of TA, including agents, consultants, and VARs - who distribute telecom solutions to small and medium-sized business clients.
The win marked the second year in a row that the members of the Telecom Association have chosen Telarus and their top Master Agent. The accomplishment demonstrates the strength of its programs for referral partners, IT integrators, and technology consultants.
"We are deeply honored to win the TA Members Choice Award for top Master Agent," commented Adam Edwards, president of Telarus. "We had a great 2008 in terms of sales, new technology build, and recruiting. We're now working with bigger partners that require more attention, software, and support, and keeping them happy and productive is our top priority. It's always gratifying to see that our hard work has been recognized both in terms of this award and in the form of increased commission outflows to our agents."
"Many people have asked the secret to our success," added Telarus co-founder, Patrick Oborn. "The fact is, we've been executing on our unique business model for well over five years, quietly attracting new partners and finding new customers both online and offline. Likewise, our agents work extremely hard and they are extremely loyal. We work as a team, not individuals, and we reward our team with new technology that allows them to process more orders in less and less time. It's that simple."
Past Telecom Association awards won by Telarus include Members Choice Award for Top Master Agent (2008) and President's Award for Program Innovation (2007).
"On behalf of the Telecom Association I'd like to congratulate Telarus and the other candidates for an outstanding vote" added Dan Baldwin, Founder of Telecom Association. "Telarus is somewhat unique among master agencies because they attract telecom business leads through Internet-enabled affiliates and then distribute the leads to their high-end telecom agents to close - a model that requires a great deal of technical innovation to work. Kudos to Telarus for investing the resources necessary to bring a successful new marketing model to the industry and for becoming the winner of Telecom Association's Master Agent category for the second year in a row."
"Telarus is no fluke," said Lance Akins, VP of Sales. "Winning this award two years in a row demonstrates just how committed we are to our agent's livelihoods. We really do lose sleep over how to help them become more successful and they return the favor by leveraging our technology to increase their own productivity. We hope that this award increases public awareness that there is a master agent who can write its own software, integrate with all of its carriers for real-time quotes, deliver warm leads to its agents, pay top commissions, and wire accurate payments to its agents on-time each and every month."
