You pay nothing. The carriers pay us.

No advisory fee. No project fee. A residual from the provider, about 3–12% on monthly recurring for internet, SIP and hosted voice. Same rate as going direct. Contract in your name.

To you. No advisory fee. No project fee. The carriers pay us.

3–12%

Residual on monthly recurring for internet, SIP and hosted voice. Paid by the provider from their margin.

0%

Markup on your carrier rate. Same price you would get going direct.

Yours

Contract in your name. You keep the service if you leave. We are not the reseller of record.

Conflicts we name. Providers pay us, and a higher bill can mean a higher residual. We tell you the rate before you choose, and we take no spiffs.

The conflict

We are paid by the provider you pick.

That is real. A percentage of what you spend can pull advice toward spend. Against it: residuals only pay when you stay, a bad fit that churns costs us more than any rate gap, and we publish the range and answer the exact residual on any quote before you sign.

Questions

What people ask first.

Is your price higher than going direct?

No. You get the same carrier rate you would going direct. Our residual comes from the provider’s margin, not added to your bill.

Different carriers pay you different rates. Does that skew the recommendation?

We tell you the residual range before you choose. A bad fit that churns costs us more than any rate difference. We also take no spiffs.

Whose name is on the contract?

Yours. Every contract stays in your name. You can leave and keep the service without buying through us again.

Ask what we are paid before you sign.

Thirty minutes. No fee. You leave knowing the residual on anything we recommend.
