Master agent Telarus strengthens its broadband, mobile voice and data, IT, and business phone services portfolio through partnership with Cbeyond
SANDY UT, December 6, 2011 – Telarus Inc., premier telecom master agent and patent holder of real-time carrier quotes, today announced they have entered into an agreement with Cbeyond, a leading provider of IT and communications services to small businesses. The new partnership will open the doors for over 600 Telarus agents to sell Cbeyonds’s award-winning business voice, data, and cloud-based managed services.
“We are excited to add Cbeyond to our carrier portfolio,” commented Adam Edwards, President of Telarus. “While we focus much of our time and attention on larger deals now, we still have a significant number of small to medium size sales coming in, facilitated in large part by GeoQuote, our online quoting tool. Cbeyond will fit neatly into our current system, making it easy for solution providers to find pricing and to source Cbeyond products through us.”
In preparation for the launch, the Telarus IT team has successfully integrated Cbeyond’s products into GeoQuote, the real-time online quoting system used by Telarus agents to perform price and availability research on behalf of their clients. Those with access to GeoQuote now see pricing for Cbeyond’s solutions including: data T1, bonded T1, integrated T1, local voice, and more.
“Telarus and Cbeyond both have a fantastic history of being innovative and solving problems through technology. We’re a perfect match and we’re thrilled to welcome them on board as our newest distributor,” said Zane Long, Vice President of Indirect Sales for Cbeyond. “Our core focus for 2012 is expanding our channel through partnerships with national master agents like Telarus. Their tools, training, and passion for serving agents will make it possible for us to outsource many aspects of support to their organization and allow us to scale together.”
Winning more than 50 awards for product innovation, growth and a quality customer experience, Cbeyond offers IT and communications services to 14 markets across the U.S. – providing more than 60,000 small business customers with the tools they need to be more productive, profitable and better protected.

“Cbeyond is a fantastic carrier that has a focus on the future: Cloud Computing” added Robert Butler, VP of Sales for Telarus, Inc. “We don’t sell a lot of Cloud-based services currently, but with the help of Cbeyond’s renowed training system, we look forward to education our partners and helping them expand their sales capabilities into new and exciting areas of growth. We look forward to selling it in bulk.”
