Less of the Same: How To Sell To The High Street #Carriers World

The agenda for this years #CarriersWorld, the first to be organised by Total Telecom has just gone online and you'll notice the change. There's definitely a new variety in the speakers and the topics and many more networking opportunities to provide increased relevance to the wholesale carrier community.

Like Eric Craig, Director, Carrier Partners, at Virgin Media Business. His background isn't telecoms but GlaxoSmithKline and PepsiCo, so he is uniquely qualified to give a whole new perspective. Indeed it interesting to watch this video he made a couple of years ago "How To Sell To The High Street".

Of course we haven't ignore the big names like Beatriz Butsana-Sita (B.T.), David Jan Aris (Liberty Global) and Mike Millegan (Verizon) - who Total Telecom interviewed at a previous Carriers World (see below)

We are confident that this years' Carriers World will be a refreshing change, so register today and take advantage of our dedicated networking manager, join in with peer-to-peer roundtable discussions, enjoy the end of day one party and much more...

Confirmed sponsors for this year include: IDT, Orange, Yota Devices, Virgin Media Business, Telenor, Arbitron Mobile, Surf Telecoms, and Deutsche Telekom. Find out more at www.carriersworld.com
