How I Can Help You:
Over my career the telecom industry has exploded with the typical voice and data vendor now offering a significantly more robust solution set which has its pluses and minuses for clients. As an industry veteran, I still very much enjoy building ways to simplify my client’s management of connectivity, voice services and more whether it be creating vendor-agnostic tracking sheets, auditing their invoices and creating apples to apples network comparisons or uplighting their network with the newest technologies. Despite many people thinking telecom is a commodity, I like to reply, “It is until it breaks, so let’s make sure we set things up right.” Clients additionally appreciate my attention to detail during the sales process and our team’s approach to implementation and ongoing support above what any 1 telco vendor offers.

How I Can Help:
Without a doubt, the UCaaS and CCaaS space is very crowded with dozens of vendor’s promising a multitude of integrations, functionality and more. As I’ve completed in depth trainings and been a part of deployments with every major vendor, I help clients ask the right questions and get real answers vs the “Yes, we can do that” answer they’ll may get when in actuality, they can’t. Helping clients avoid the wrong solutions is as important to finding the right ones because no one wins when the solutions being sold don’t work!
