Opal Launch Dealer Incentive

Networks & Network Services
Opal, the provider of next generation communication technologies for the channel, has today announced an aggressive new dealer incentive, offering partners powerful new ways to increase margin and drive up revenue.

As of 1 September 2009, and running until December 2009, all Opal Dealers will benefit from a new aggressive wholesale line rental incentive allowing them to provide customers with 6 months free line rental on 36 month agreements (3 months free line rental on 24 month agreements).

The move demonstrates Opal’s commitment to its Channel partners and is the latest step in its strategy to offer a credible alternative to BT, by providing competitive line rental solutions with flexible pricing and increased margin.

Andrew Hollingworth, Director of Wholesale at Opal, said: “The scale of our network and our stability as a company has allowed us to pass yet more attractive incentives on to our partners. We are confident the new incentive will be attractive as it allows our partners to realise higher gross profits per customer – helping them through a tough trading period.

For partners, our new WLR incentive offers an opportunity to target existing voice customers with a simple easy-to-sell product as well as adding completely new customers to their books.”

The new WLR propositions will ensure customers benefit from flexible tariff structures and competitive low cost call rates delivered over Opal’s resilient Next Generation Network (NGN). The package is designed to fit customer and business needs, with the ability to seamlessly transfer to the Opal network and simplify billing systems.

As the leading provider of 21st century network connections and applications for businesses, Opal has over 15 years’ experience in serving the needs of business customers across the UK through its team of over 850 dedicated business specialists.
