ShopForT1.com today announced the grand
launch of the long anticipated Real-Time quote engine designed to
give the T1 shopper instant feedback, with 95% accurate loop pricing.
Real time T1 prices have not existed until now. Many brokers claim
to deliver real time information but the closest anyone has come
to real time has been a page that you can check back and see vendors
fill in prices the following 48 hours from when you entered your
request. "The real-time
shopping model works" commented Adam Edwards, CEO of ShopForT1.com.
"The travel industry is a perfect example of how the internet
can enable everyday people to access very complicated databases.
Now, we are pleased to bring instant gratification to those looking
to price T1 lines." Apart from allowing people to research rates,
ShopForT1.com also has a number of other unique features; most
notably the ability to track leads referred by online affiliates
and direct them to one of many part-time "closer" agents for personal
care. This functionality allows ShopForT1.com to improve the shopping
experience, opens the door for online affiliates to earn residual
commissions by driving traffic, and manages professional part-time
sales agents from all over the counrty.
"Many people have asked how
exactly we figure out T1 pricing, since it is so sensitive to
the geographic location of each customer with relation to the
carriers' physical equipment. Our GeoQuote
software is able to calculate the distance from any location in
the continental United States to any of our providers' Points
of Presence (POPs). From there, we use proprietary pricing algorithms
to convert the distance into a price" commented Patrick Oborn,
CTO of ShopForT1.com.
