Establish a Telecom Sales Channel

Building a Telecom Sales Channel

The fundamental goal behind every channel sales strategy should be to sell the right product to the right customer at the right time. The selection of all channel partners must be in alignment. Spend time connecting with partners that best fit your needs.

Build your sales channel ecosystem

A telecom sales channel ecosystem is a network of channels and partners a company uses to reach and sell customers.

A sales channel ecosystem aims to provide a seamless experience for customers and maximize sales by reaching customers through multiple channels. For example, a customer might discover a product through an online search, learn more about it through social media, and then purchase through a local distributor.

In today's telecom environment, a salesperson is not the only contributor to a sale. Service-based revenue models require roles like sales engineers or customer experience managers to focus on requirements gathering, client satisfaction, renewals, and upselling.

Channel programs must cater to a wider audience and emphasize satisfaction, retention, and growth (instead of just sales-related incentives). And companies must adapt their commissioning strategies to support this new sales cycle.
