Starting a Telecom Business

In starting a telecom business, several things are needed to be considered first in order for your business to be successful.

It is also important to determine whether you want to start your ?own? telecom business or just purchase a franchise of an established telecom company.

Today, one of the fastest-growing businesses in the market is the telecommunications industry. The demand for the use of telecommunication services is rising every day because there are nearly three billion calls made every day.

A lot of people are considering the internet to make cheaper calls but have the same, or even better, quality as compared to a traditional phone line. This is one market that you must consider when you are starting your very own telecom business. Consider whether you can penetrate into the online market of the telecom business. Currently, there are a lot of businesses on the internet that offers the same telecommunication service. They offer different rates for different destinations. If you are planning to start a telecom business online, you must consider offering an advantage to your customers against your current competitors.

Before even deciding whether to start an online telecom business or not, you must inquire first about the legalities that you should have in order for you to start the operation of your business. You can go to your local county office or the government agency that handles this type of business to inquire about the paper works or permits that your business needs in order for you to start your operation.

In the case that you do not want to start your telecom business on your own, you should consider purchasing a franchise from a franchise company that already has an established name in the industry when it comes to telecommunication. You can utilize the internet in searching for online businesses that offer individuals or entrepreneurs an opportunity to start their own telecom business online.

Alternatively, you can seek advice and recommendation from people who already have been through this or in other words, seek advice and recommendation from people who actually own a business of the same type as yours. These people will be able to provide you with the things that you need to know in doing or running a telecom business. And if you are lucky enough, they can also tell you the dos and don’ts in running your business. But never expect your competitors to give you good advice if you ask them for it. If you know someone personally who also owns a telecom business, you can ask him to give you advice and recommendations on the things that you should do in running your own telecom business.

Lastly, always remember to give your customers the satisfaction that they are expecting from you. If they are satisfied, they will surely recommend your business to their family or friends. This is also known as a “word of mouth” advertisement.

  • Cliff Ferguson beginner adviser said on May 20, 2012
    Hello, I own a telecommunications company and there are so many different directions to go with this type of business. Respondents above should narrow their scope to whether they want to be a new hardware provider, manufacturer, repairer, refurbisher, equipment provider, secondary marketeer, interconnect business to business system installer, residential service provider, re-seller of business only phone carrier, VOIP service provider or reseller of phone service. I can promise from 15 years of experience this is a brutal hard road and nothing comes easy here. Best advice, failure to plan is planning to fail. But...it can only work with sweat equity.
