Who Does Telco Broker Work With?

IT Companies and Managed Services Providers (MSPs)

Telco Broker works very closely with IT businesses and MSPs, to provide end to end technology services for our mutual customers. In many instances, IT companies and MSPs aren’t interested in delivering telecommunications as a core service, but still have a responsibility to their client to make sure that services are working as they should.

We can work with you and your clients to deliver voice and data services according to the requirements you specify and work with you to complete migrations and ensure that deployment goes smoothly, our team can provide onsite support if required.

Many of our IT partners are reluctant to accept commissions, however, commissions and profit sharing are available on all the services we sell.

Accounting Firms and Financial Advisers 

Telco Broker can partner with accountants, financial planners, and advisers to drive cost savings for their clients. In many cases, telecommunications contracts that haven’t been reviewed in the past 2 – 3 years can have between 5 – 10% wastage in unused services, and anywhere between 10 – 30% in overspends due to not renegotiating contracts or outdated pricing.

Electricians, Data Cablers, and CCTV Camera Installers 

We routinely work with electrical companies, cablers and security camera companies. Typically, when working with clients like this, who get called into fix problems onsite whether its internet connections, power or connectivity problems with phones, phone systems or cameras.
If it is a telecommunications or internet related problem, and the solution is out of scope for them, Telco Broker can step in to identify solutions that are available at the site and are in line with the customers budget, saving all parties the legwork.

Facility Managers, Strata Managers, Body Corporates, Commercial Real Estate Managers, Developers, and Builders 

We work with many companies in the commercial real estate sector, to assist them with facilitating telecommunications changes with tenants, new premises, relocations, new data links, voice services, CCTV and security solutions and rebilling.

Salespeople, Account Managers, and BDMs 

We work closely with salespeople across the entire tech sector, to help them offer a broader range of complete solutions to their clients that they may not have available within the organisation they work for.
We have assisted sales professionals retain their clients by supplementing their offerings, which resulted in their customers not going elsewhere.

Telco Broker also regularly works with telecommunications companies and BDMs that may not have all data services available, maybe a client requires features in their phone system or contact centre that they can’t sell, or mobile or internet services, Telco Broker can go to market and provide you with a complete solution, rather than you having to tell clients you can’t help them.

Is the Telco Broker ‘Referral Partner’ program open to individuals in specific professional roles, not solely registered businesses?

Yes, our program is designed to be inclusive and is open to professionals in roles such as Business Development Managers (BDMs), Account Managers, Project Managers, independent consultants, and sales professionals.

Regardless of whether your role is in the technology space or not, if you have a network that could benefit, we welcome your participation. We can discuss the appropriate partnership structure and commission payment methods during the application process.

How does Telco Broker manage referrals from individuals in these specific roles compared to businesses?

The general referral process remains consistent. You introduce a lead, and our team manages the entire sales cycle, from requirements assessment and quoting to vendor negotiations and service implementation.
For individual referrers, we ensure transparent tracking of your referrals and commissions, providing regular updates on their progress. Our aim is to make it straightforward for any eligible professional in Australia to participate and earn.

What information do I need to provide to refer a potential client?

You can provide basic contact information for the potential client and a brief overview of their current telecommunications needs and any relevant data you have been able to obtain along the way, for example; number of sites, number of staff or phone extensions, what internet connections they have and any known pain points that they are trying to resolve. This allows our team to get the ball rolling and not repeat the same questions during the initial engagement.

Do I need to have an ABN Number to be a telecommunications ‘Referral Partner’?

No, we are happy to pay you your commissions without an ABN, directly into your personal bank account. We would just withhold the GST component, as you would unlikely be registered for GST.

How does the Telco Broker ‘Referral partner’ program avoid competing with my existing business services?

Our referral program is specifically designed to be non-competitive and supplementary to your existing offerings. For example, if you’re an IT service provider or MSP, we focus exclusively on telecommunications and internet services, ensuring your clients have robust connectivity and voice solutions, without encroaching on your core IT services, cybersecurity, or managed IT agreements.

We aim to enhance your value to clients by handling the specialised telecom needs that might fall outside your primary scope. We also work with mobile phone dealers that only sell one carrier, rather than refer their customers to another carrier if their customer has coverage problems, we will safeguard your relationship and only offer services that are complimentary to your business.

Will Telco Broker protect my client relationships when I make a referral?

Absolutely. Protecting your client relationships is a core principle of our program. When you refer a client, we operate with clear boundaries and a commitment to service within a strictly defined scope.

Our team will engage professionally, acknowledging your referral and ensuring our interactions strengthen, rather than dilute, your standing as their trusted adviser. We do not solicit your clients for services outside the telecommunications domain, ensuring your existing business relationships remain strong and secure.

Can this telecommunications referral program be a good "side hustle" or way to earn "extra income" in Australia?

Absolutely. Our program is designed with flexibility in mind, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone in Australia looking for a genuine side hustle, side gig, or a way to generate extra income or passive income. There are no upfront costs, no minimum targets, and you don’t need to become a phone system or internet expert yourself.

Simply by connecting us with businesses in your network that need telecommunications and internet services, you can earn commissions. It’s a straightforward way to leverage your existing contacts to create a new income stream in the growing Australian telco market, making it a viable income opportunity even if it’s not your primary business.
