Founded in 2002 in Huntington Beach, Calif. by Adam Edwards and Patrick Oborn, Telarus (News - Alert) a master agent has always remained heavily focused upon providing telecommunication services to users with unparalleled efficiency and a much higher level of customer support than any other agents currently involved within the market. So, it’s only right that we say happy birthday Telarus and here’s to ten more successful years of powering next-generation technologies!

Looking back at its initial stages as a business, Edwards and Oborn joined together because “they wanted to “do something different with their lives” and after learning about residual income for distributing telecom services for Cognigen Networks. It was then that they realized the perfect niche for them would be to leverage the principles of SEO, price automation, and streamlined sales and bring it directly to commercial telecom.

An interesting tidbit of information to point out about this master agent is that neither founder of Telarus had “any experience working for a carrier, never cut any secret deals with carrier sales team members, and started Telarus without a single customer in-hand. All they knew is that, through great marketing, sales support, pricing automation, and the highest of ethical standards, they could bring something unique to the industry - provided their savings accounts didn't dry up in the meantime. They weren't tainted with old business practices or notions of how things should be done,” according to company officials.

One of the major factors in regards to the company’s continuous success and expansion is the fact that it is always partnering with other best-of-breed organizations in the industry in order to significantly enhance its portfolio. The most recent of these strategic alliances was completed only last month with Charter Business. This initiative will allow agents to sell Charter Business' broadband voice, video, and fiber-optic solutions that can be implemented at small to medium-sized organizations in addition to enterprises. In line with the agreement, approximately 1,200 independent agents can now promote Charter Business products to their customers

Edwards commented in a statement, “As we celebrate the 10th birthday of Telarus, I'd like to thank you personally for all of your hard work, loyalty in both good times and bad, and most of all, for your friendship. I truly enjoy what I do, and what Telarus does, because we know we are making a difference in people's lives. Not every executive that rolls into work each day can say that but I can.”
