VoIP Your Life, a provider of residential phone service and business hosted PBX (News - Alert) or unlimited SIP-trunking services, has officially launched its 1-VoIP channel program which will help support and drive the company's expanding communications network.

In a release, Bob Pierce, Vice President of Sales for VYL, said, “1-VoIP’s growth substantially attributable to the combination of our high-quality, feature-rich service offering coupled with a strong commission incentive to our agent partners. We were patient in developing this program. We could have rolled this out months ago had we simply relied on spreadsheets and margin analysis. We know how to price competitively. What we wanted was something different; we needed input from the channel to help us formulate an offering that worked not only for the end-user customer, but for our agent partners as well. At VYL, we understand the importance of recognizing that agents are customers too and we are in a highly competitive sector for productive agents.”

The company's latest offering will benefit customers of VYL, which include voice and data communication services vendors, hardware as well as systems integrators, value added resellers, in addition to consultants among others.

Pierce said, “The 1-VOIP agent program compensates agents at the top-end of the commission spectrum. In fact, from our market research, our commission compensation often exceeds what our competitors are paying in commissions for the same service.”

Customers leveraging the 1-VoIP channel program will benefit on two levels; the 1-VoIP channel model will provide agents and customers with enhanced service while the commissions of the partners of the agent will deliver increased revenue per-sale compared to that given by other service providers. Furthermore, VYL supports inorganic customer growth.

Pierce said, “Our channel program is designed to provide existing and prospective agents the best overall program for building a lasting and lucrative business selling VoIP communications services anywhere across the United States. Agents want to work with carrier class providers that are financially solid, pay on time, and own a strong, reliable network. They don’t want to hear about revenue minimums and holdbacks; they just want to sell a good service, at a competitive rate and get paid for it.”

Although the complete terms of agreement were not disclosed, the program requires the partners to enter into a one-year agent agreement. Pierce stated that the program does not have standard clauses such as monthly revenue quotas and agent commissions which are retained by the carrier once the agreement with the agent finishes.
