"Every master agent relies on three things to be successful: 1) Relationships, 2) Commissions, and 3) Value.
The value Telarus brings is our ability to help agents close sales with our many years of combined experience selling
large enterprise accounts and through technology. The software we write is a huge factor in the lives of our agents
and will continue to be a key differentiator in the future."
"Telarus is always a few steps ahead of their peers. Having an entire
team of in-house developers is a major advantage for them, not to mention
they are just nice guys to work with."
The Secret to Our Success
In business, having relationships, charisma, a strong work ethic, and great carrier offerings aren't always enough.
You have to have the right tools to succeed.
One of the best kept secrets of Telarus is the fact that we are a software company. However, unlike most traditional firms,
we are not paid for development, installation, training, or for monthly license fees per user. We are paid only when our
technology helps our partners generate new business - which means that our stuff has to work, be usable, and be accurate.
Even though our business revolves around relationships, consulting, and gaining the trust of our customers and agents,
having the absolute best technology is our company's mission - it's what allows our agents and staff the ability to make
quick decisions that create competitive advantages in the marketplace. This mission is the reason why half of our entire
staff writes or manages the development of Cold Fusion, SQL, and PHP code.
"Our mission is to be the most highly advanced sales agency in the world.
We will accomplish this by carefully listening to the marketing and sales
departments who dictate the projects that IT undertakes as well as the order
in which these projects are completed."

Technological Accomplishments
Below we have compiled a brief summary of our technology so that you can gain a greater appreciation for the code that is the "engine under the hood".
GeoQuote - In 2003 we authored (and patented) the world's first real-time commercial
telecom pricing software. We provide every agent who works with us with a private-labeled web site that has GeoQuote
software pre-installed. In addition, agents can run additional quotes in their own back office. The results of GeoQuote
can then be converted into Official Proposals by the agent and sent to the customer in just seconds.
Read more about updates to GeoQuote in our Telecom Channel Updates LinkedIn group.
GeoQuote Premium Sites - Even the best telecom agent has trouble meeting fresh
prospects without new leads. Telarus enables its agents with Premium Sites that are easy to configure, edit, and
deploy, all for $249. Each premium site is ideal for targeting 1-2 keywords, comes with a GeoQuote XML plug-in
so your visitors can run real-time quotes for most products. Each lead your premium site generates is
routed back to the Inbox in your Telarus Back Office CRM for follow-up.
VAR Network - Value Added Resellers have found a new home in
our VAR Network program in which they receive telecom equipment and repair leads. Our network currently
consists of over 2,000 VARs nationwide, representing PBX phone system vendors such as Cisco, Avaya, Nortel,
Mitel, 3Com, NEC, ShoreTel, and more. As these VARs send Telarus more telecom service orders, the VAR
Network allocates a heavier allotment of equipment leads in return.
Back Office Software - We're not talking about a simple version
of SalesForce.com, MasterStream, or some other "off the shelf" package that anyone can buy.
Our back office software is written with agents in mind - putting all of your customer information,
previous quotes, proposals, tasks, notes, commission history, email correspondences, orders, paperwork,
etc. at your fingertips on one page. Agents can also create additional logins for administrative
assistance and/or employees so that they can access specific areas of the agent back office in a
customer support role.
