Dear Communications Technology Professional,
You’re invited to join me, my colleagues and your peers at the 17th Annual Telecom Negotiation Conference where you’ll acquire the tips, techniques and strategies you must have to come out ahead in your next communications procurement. And whether you are new to telecom or a longtime veteran, now more than ever it is critical for you to be on top of your game. Here’s why:
- AT&T and Verizon now dominate the market and will seek to use that power to not only firm or raise the prices you pay but also to impose tough new terms and conditions. If you are not prepared, you’ll pay.
- Special access prices – frozen as part of FCC-imposed merger concessions – expire this year, and no one knows how high – or when – the rates you pay for access will jump. Now is the time to map out your local access strategy.
- Managed services, IP, mobile, international and other emerging services are part and parcel of today’s deals. And that means the stakes and risks are higher than ever. Make sure the odds favor you when you sit down at the bargaining table.
- The normal heavy turnover in account teams that you’ve come to expect is accelerating as the dust settles on carrier mergers and acquisitions. Translation: Service levels decline unless you know how to build adequate protections in your contract.
At the 17th Annual Telecom Negotiation Conference, we’ll show you how to answer these challenges and negotiate a winning deal. During two quick-moving and highly interactive days, you’ll develop all the skills you need to know – from setting realistic commitment levels and crafting workable SLAs to dodging tricky sub-commitments and rooting out faulty contract language – and dozens of other operational, technical and legal issues.
I’ve chaired the Telecom Negotiation Conference for 17 years and I assure you that the guidance and advice you’ll get from me and my panel of industry veterans will help you from day one. The speakers you’ll hear together have secured more than 1,600 deals worth more than $30 billion. Join us in Orlando and put that knowledge and experience to work for your enterprise.
Sincerely,
Hank Levine
Conference Chairman
Partner, Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby LLP
