CEO Founding Partner

StratusDial, LLC

Does the idea of switching phone providers for your business sound like a permanent migraine? Here’s what’s worse:

Turning your customers away because you’re unable to provide a good phone customer experience because of lousy support from your business phone provider.

When you entrust ☎️PhoneBill (& the team at StratusDial) with your company’s new voice, here’s what you get:

✔️ Pre-installation audit to locate savings (sometimes $9000!) & lower your operating costs
✔️ Take care of allllllllll the prep, installation, routing, testing… everything done-for-you
✔️ Hold your hand through set-up & advise you on phone experience best practices
✔️ Latest phone features for maximum efficiency (hello, Office365 integration!)
✔️ Custom set-up the big providers won’t do (e.g. overhead paging system)
✔️ 60-day and 90-day check-ins to make sure you love your new system
✔️ Eager-to-help technical support, 24/7

As a smaller (but mightier!) provider, we can deliver the type of boutique service that the large competitors wish they could deliver. 😉

Ready to have your business phone system work for you (not against you) in bringing more clients to your business?

Message ☎️PhoneBill on LinkedIn. I’ll sort you out.

Viirtue

Here at Viirtue, we have taken this partnership and solution to the next level. Providing a switch with the latest features and functionality is 100% what we are doing, with that white glove service. But it goes beyond that and that is what a lot of resellers do not realize they can do is go further in the solution. We are a software development company as well, so our ViiBe software is what truly sets us apart. A complete solution from automated billing with tax engine already built in, to making an automated lnp requests as well. 

★ What I Do For Our Partners ★

Managing these prospects from from through a sales process, to onbaording and being their account manager is truly what I’m contributing. Some resellers use my resources to their advantage, where I’m able to help them win business as well.

SkySwitch

Offering an ecosystem of hosted services, SkySwitch is a white-label platform of next generation communications technologies. 

“SkySwitch is our third VOIP switching platform and by far the most cost effective. The CAPEX route on the first two was expensive and with all the engineering overhead they required, the profit margins just weren’t there for us. The SkySwitch White Label UCC Platform was a fraction of the startup cost. Their features and functionality allowed us to compete at a very high level and with us being able to dedicate 90% of our resources on sales and support, it’s a win, win for both our customers and our bottom-line.”      Jason Alidor – CEO - IGT Networks
