Become a telecom agent

1/18/2021

Telecom Sales Careers
Simplified Communications invites qualified individuals to work with us as an independent telecom agent or referral partner. The telecom industry is a growing market as businesses navigate the changes in technology. 
​

Benefits of being a Telecom Agent:

  • Telecom agents can work remotely from anywhere in the country
  • Flexible hours
  • Choose your own customers and market segment
  • Growing demand for telecom agents 
  • Two styles of working with two different levels of commissions
  • Recurring commissions

How to get started:

There are two different ways to work with Simplified Communications as a telecom agent. 

AGENT MODEL

Simplified is your resource to provide carrier-pricing and quoting information for clients – but the agent runs the play and controls client communication and the entire sale. This model offers higher commissions to the agent.

This Agent Model is ideal for an experienced salesperson or a motivated individual who has worked in the telecommunications industry.

Be your own boss, build your own client base, and enjoy the commissions!

REFERRAL MODEL

From quoting to installation, Simplified will manage the entire sales process: sourcing carriers, pricing and quoting, client communications, and installation. This model offers a simple hands-off approach for the referral agent.
​
This option requires no expertise, referral agents don’t need to be an expert in telecom, they can rely on the experts to provide a high quality experience for their clients and earn recurring commissions. In many cases, referral agents are IT providers, low voltage contractors, phone vendors, and building developers.

Partner with Simplified Communications:

Not all partnerships are the same. Simplified Communications can customize our partnerships to create the best experience for our agents and clients.

Meet Reed Knutsen - Simplified Communications Telecom Broker

4/28/2020

Working in the telecommunications industry since 2002, Reed Knutsen has brought helpful solutions to his clients in good times and bad. He has made a number of COVID-19-required adjustments to his life and work. Luckily Reed is always up for a challenge.

The hardest part about living in lockdown is that Reed loves All The Food. A medium rare steak, pizza, Asian cuisine. His favorite--a hidden gem in the north Coon Rapids suburbs called Angkor, serving Chinese Cambodian. But lately, he is doing more cooking from home.

See Reed's Smokey Quarantine Chicken Legs Recipe below.

Reed has been working from home for over a month, and he is ready to get out of the house to go out to eat, see a movie, or go to a concert. He has high hopes for kayaking and camping in the future.

Reed's love for challenges and the outdoors makes the extreme Minnesota weather a delight. From hot to cold and back again, the landscape and wildlife are a beautiful backdrop for playing sports, writing music and spending time with his family.

You can imagine that a Minnesota guy who appreciates the extreme climate also enjoys the freedom and challenge that comes with being an independent telecom broker. Reed works fearlessly to find the best carrier and solutions for his clients.

Reed and his wife have 4 kids and 2 naughty rabbits, which keep them pretty busy most of the time, but Reed has been spending more time on his many hobbies and passions during quarantine. Reed is a musicphile, and after some extensive organization of his record collection, carefully compiled two imaginary Beatles double albums after “Let it Be,” using the best of their solo work from 1970-71. Music definitely helps relax the mind and energize the soul. Listen with us:
Reed's Smokey Quarantine Chicken Legs
  • Fresh chicken legs
  • Seasoned Salt
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Hickory smoking chips, soaked in water
Let the chicken sit out at room temperature for 20-25 minutes before putting on the grill. This allows the chicken to cook more evenly. Add the seasonings to the outside of the legs, covering all sides. Once you have hot coals, add hickory smoking chips that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes. Cook the chicken with the lid closed until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees at thickest part of the leg. Turn as needed to cook evenly and place legs closer to the coals for more char. You should have at least some charring and crispy skin. I like mine very charred. After removing from the grill, cover the chicken with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Serve with Crispy Asparagus with olive oil and garlic.

Meet Simplified Communications Founder: Patrick Keane

Patrick Keane - Owner/Broker
Patrick brings enthusiasm and experience to both the clients and staff of Simplified Communications. Keane started working in the telecom industry almost a decade ago, when he was recruited to work for Comcast. It was a challenging job for him, but he worked his way up to sales manager, with a decision to learn something new every day and focus on helping his customers.
This attitude served as a necessary foundation for starting Simplified Communications in 2014. The fast pace and ever-changing needs of telecom technology demand a desire to learn and evolve. Patrick is positioned to grow with customers’ needs and prepare them for success.
​
Is Patrick human?
While Patrick brings many superhuman traits to Simplified Communications, he still eats and has hobbies, too! His favorite burrito in Minneapolis is from Burrito Loco, but if he could only eat one food for the rest of his life it would be sushi. Part of his superhuman strength comes from breaking his leg as a baby when his dad forgot to close the baby gate (oops!). Patrick had to learn how to overcome (or avoid) obstacles from the beginning!

Patrick refuels by brainstorming at the office with the office dogs, saltwater spearfishing, and enjoying Minnesota life with his wife.

The entire team at Simplified Communications is excited to meet you and assist with your telecommunications needs.
