Phone Works founded the Telebusiness Alliance in 1993...

to address the growing needs of Telebusiness professionals in technology, to share industry best practices, and provide support and mentoring.

Telebusiness Alliance Charter

The Telebusiness Alliance is a group of Telebusiness (inside sales) managers who meet regularly under nondisclosure to discuss mutual business issues. Members benefit by networking with industry peers and sharing expertise in areas that relate to professional business-to-business sales, support, marketing, compensation and other topics germane to the unique needs of the inside sales function. As a result of attending Alliance meetings, members gain access to information that will lead to increased productivity, increased revenues and decreased cost of sales for their companies
