8 September 09 – Voice and data network solutions provider O-bit Telecom is inviting independent resellers to join O-bit Local Business (OLB), its regional partnership network. OLB offers resellers the commitment to triple their business turnover in just two years with the benefit of O-bit’s industry expertise and back office support.
Becoming an O-bit Local Business partner offers a myriad of benefits, which include a significantly enhanced sales and marketing function and a ’first look’ on all O-bit Telecom white label solutions and services. An ’open book cost’ pricing model gives partners a clear understanding of the cost and profit margin on each product and can anticipate when costs are likely to go up or down.
Partners are granted exclusive use of O-bit’s bespoke in-house ERP software, Ask Merlin, which integrates with standard off-the-shelf software applications and helps businesses to grow through a visibility of reporting and control.
Dave Breith, CEO states “Our end-user customers appreciate the advantages of a local service, but also want the confidence of sustainability behind the network,” Breith continues. “We believe the concept of O-bit Local Business not only meets this need but also gives independent resellers the chance to have a slice of what is ultimately a £36million pie.”
O-bit Local Business partners benefit from a long term investment and the ability to become part of something much bigger, whilst also ensuring the directors and shareholders retain full control of their company.
Once 300 per cent (three times the initial turnover) growth has been achieved, the reseller has the option to sell its shares to O-bit for a profitable margin or to maintain the status quo. Based on its research of the reseller market, O-bit expects its Local Business partners to typically achieve the final 300 per cent growth milestone in about two years.
“Companies often talk about forming ‘partnerships’ when what they are actually creating is a one-sided relationship with another business that only one party ends up getting any benefit from,” continues Breith. “At O-bit we firmly believe in re-inventing business partnerships and ensure that we work with companies in a truly interactive relationship to the mutual benefit of both sides. Resellers interested in becoming an OLB will get a chance to see this philosophy in action.”
With no risk to the reseller from the business partnership and everything to gain, the O-bit Local Business offering is definitely worth a closer look for businesses considering their future strategy. To find out if your business qualifies as a reseller for the OLB partner network, please contact O-bit Telecom on 0800 8494949.
