Four of the alliance members already were channel partners for TNCI. Several members of the alliance were doing business with TNCI and were pleased with the compensation, pricing and service, said alliance member Paula Silicato, vice president for Global Systems Telecom. We saw an opportunity to bring the rest of the alliance together.
The existing one-on-one agreements remain in place, but all new business produced will be on the new agreement. Silicato says the deal represents one of the best compensation plans in the industry and an outstanding revenue opportunity for TNCI.
Brian Twomey, president of TNCI, agreed. He said the companys previous experience with Agent Alliance member companies has produced high quality and stable business. He said TNCI was comfortable extending the agreement to the entire group because each of the member companies has built a successful business.
