DRAPER UT, March 19, 2009 - Telarus, Inc., premier telecom master agent and creator of ShopforT1.com, ShopforEthernet.net, and VARNetwork.com, today announced the launch of the "Telarus Mobile Back Office." The built-for-mobile-phone web site allows Telarus agents full access to the sales funnel management system, commission accounting system, order status management system, and the recently patented real-time quote system. Located online athttp://m.telarus.com and built specifically for agents working in the telecom channel who are on the go, the site was unveiled to the public at the annual Telarus Agent Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 28, 2009.

"We are excited to continue leading our industry in technology innovation" commented Adam Edwards, president of Telarus, Inc. "The Telarus Mobile Back Office gives our agents the opportunity to conduct business when they are away from the office. This flexibility comes in handy when customers need assistance and can't wait for the agent to get back to their office in order to access important information. As this industry matures, enabling agents to service their clients will be paramount for establishing and maintaining relationships that will survive the inevitable brush with the direct sales channel."

The Telarus Mobile Back Office features many mission critical modules to a Telarus agent's success, namely:

• Sales funnel management (similar to SalesForce.com)
• Patented automated price quote generation and subsequent proposal generation
• Manual (ICB) price quote status and feedback
• Customer relationship management (tasks, important dates, delayed-send email, notes)
• Commission accounting software
• Important vendor news and/or promotion alerts
• Access to the contact records of all VAR and referral partners
• Vendor Channel Manager rolodex

"In sales, timing is everything" added Lance Akins, VP of Sales for Telarus. "When a customer needs your help, they expect that you'll be able to assist them now. The new Telarus Mobile Back Office allows our agents to better compete for and win new business with their perceived responsiveness, in addition to strengthening existing relationships. Using this new tool, our agents are now able to view a new prospect record, run a carrier service quote using GeoQuote, check up on the status of any previously submitted order, see if that order has successfully begun paying commission, and more - all while they are away from home. Only time will tell how many places they choose to work enabled by our new mobile back office technology: golf courses, coffee shops, dentist waiting rooms, cruise ships, baseball games, you name it." 

According to Andrew Morgan, VP of Web Development for Telarus, Inc., all customer/prospect records that appear in the mobile back office are linked to many built-in mobile phone features, such as click-to-dial and click-to-email. That means that users of the software can click on any phone number and instantly initiate an outbound call to that number. Likewise, all new leads that are assigned to a Telarus agent using the mobile back office trigger a text message to alert the agent that they have a new lead pending follow-up, cutting down response time to just seconds.
