The Agent Equity Plan is one of the twelve hot telecom programs to watch in 2009 because the plan offers a unique exit strategy for those telecom agents and channel partners that can or will put together a good book of business in the next two years and then want to retire or just get a big chunk of change so they can go and do something else for a while," stated Dan Baldwin, TA Founder

"Many agents in the industry started out in the early 1990's and are approaching 20 years in the business.  It's not that they don't want to sell telecom forever, it's more like they're kind of beat to a pulp and they'd like to have something (a big pile of money) to show for our bruises," Baldwin continued.

"At least three agent equity programs have come and gone over the past decade with varying degrees of successful payouts to the participants.  Compared to the previous three, The Agent Equity Plan stands out as the one that is the most organized and best supported by some of the biggest and most respected master agents in the industry," Baldwin concluded.
