OnSIP Authorized Agents Reap a Revenue Share of PBX Application Services and Calling Charges; Also Gain Way to Build a Remote-Office Support Business
Junction Networks, host provider of the OnSIP PBX service, has launched an OnSIP Authorized Agent program aimed at developing a nationwide channel of qualified resellers. Starting today, Junction Networks is opening the door for system integrators in the fields of data, networking and telecom to qualify for a new revenue stream by promoting its leading business communications service.
“At Junction Networks, we are committed to delivering VoIP to businesses in a way that makes sense technically, breaks the barriers of traditional phone service and levels the playing field economically,” said Junction Networks President Rob Wolpov. “That’s why OnSIP is designed in-house, using the best available open technology components; is priced with no expensive user, extension or 'seat' licenses; imposes no commitments, minimums or contracts; is simple to set up and manage; and is loaded with the features you would expect from a $25,000 phone server.”
Recognized as one of the “Top 15 VoIP Players To Watch” by Channel Reseller News, Junction Networks has been selling business-class voice service, PBX switching and enhanced services directly to small-to-medium sized businesses since 2004, amassing more than 4,000 customers.
Two-pronged ongoing revenue
In exchange for joining in its sales effort, Junction Networks is offering its authorized agents a share of ongoing revenues from two sources: highly profitable monthly services such as auto-attendants, voice mailboxes, conference bridges and hunt groups, and per-minute calling activity to and from the PSTN. The agent program also includes training, technical support, an extensive online knowledgebase, marketing materials, RFP assistance, and access to leading phone vendors.
For those selling technology services to SMBs, the OnSIP Agent program represents an opportunity to add remote offices and new hardware to a support business. Junction Networks’ service is particularly friendly to phone sales, since it does not charge for OnSIP per extension, but by usage.
Revenue percentages will scale with agent level. In addition, OnSIP agents stand to profit by establishing service contracts and retainers with clients to procure, install, configure and manage phones on an ongoing basis. Junction Networks encourages agents to do so, as such contracts are an additional revenue opportunity that fits well within existing revenue models for resellers.
Wolpov sees his potential OnSIP agent in three major types of existing consultancies: data network specialists, IT consultants and telecom consultants. Since the service is based on IP, those who install, support and manage routers, firewalls, ISPs and LANs are well positioned to offer their customers a money-saving telephony proposition.
“To IT consultants, OnSIP is simply another IP service to add to your portfolio,” said Wolpov. “And telecom consultants know better than anyone how traditional PBX and key systems are being replaced en masse by IP-based solutions. For them, OnSIP is the continuously profitable, low-maintenance answer to their existing customers’ VoIP migration question.”
Those interested in becoming authorized agents for OnSIP must demonstrate technical competence and an ability to sell, implement and manage Internet-based services. Junction Networks’ agent specialists also will assess applicants’ qualifications based on go-to-market plan, target customer base and current business model. Applicants are encouraged to assess OnSIP, in turn: All OnSIP features are free to try for 30 days, and prospective agents can receive $10 of free calling services to make and receive calls to/from the PSTN.
