Choosing TTS (Channel Partner)
vs.
Going Direct (Calling a Carrier)
RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST
DIRECT
The average carrier direct sales person has a life span of
about 8 to 18 months and a churn rate of 60%. Meaning, a
customer can expect at least 2 different account teams
before a 36- month contract comes to an end.
UNBIASED RECOMMENDATIONS
DIRECT
Direct representatives only sell services the carrier offers. In an industry where the list of telecom and technology offerings changes frequently, the agreements don’t allow for flexibility and adaption of services per a customer’s business challenges.
ONE PROVIDER, ADDED VALUE
DIRECT
Working direct with the carrier, often times results in a
bundled package or solution that may not fully solve the
business problem.
INCENTIVIZED FOR SUCCESS
DIRECT
When utilizing a consultant to purchase technology, they
receive a one-time, upfront referral fee for calling on a carrier
directly.
