For the second consecutive year, FreedomVoice’s own Southwestern Regional Channel Manager, Bob Harrison has been awarded as a Top 15 Channel Manager by Channel Partners Magazine. The award was voted on by nearly 1000 of the publication’s readers, who nominated and then voted for their favorite telecom professional.
“It’s always nice to be recognized by your peers,” said Bob of his award. “It’s pretty cool to be in the top 15.”
We are very proud to have Bob as a member of the FreedomVoice family. We strive to only hire the best channel managers in the industry to support our local dealers – who in turn help us support our customers. Bob’s relentless work ethic and infectious passion for delivering excellent service acts as an inspiration to us all.
The award was presented to Bob in Chicago at the Fall 2011 Channel Partners Conference & Expo, the telecom industry’s only event exclusively for the channel.
The secret to Bob’s success isn’t really a secret to anyone who has met the man. “I treat it as my business; I’m not going to clock out at 5:01. If it’s important to the dealer, it’s important to me. I’m always available.”
When asked whether or not he was expecting to be back next year for the “threepeat,” his response was an emphatic, “Absolutely!” We look forward to it!

Heads up, chums:
We’re rolling out a new feature!

The title is a paraphrase of Mark Twain, in response to rumors of his demise. Now we know how he felt.
Over the past few days, FreedomVoice has been getting quite a few rather shocking phone calls and emails, inquiring about our financial condition. Turns out, another unrelated telecom company named Freedom Communications USA declared bankruptcy in Tennessee last week. Due to the likeness of our names, a lot of people thought we were the ones filing for Chapter 11. Negative.
Before I go on, let me make it clear: we’re not the “Freedom” telecom company going bankrupt. And we’ve been through this before. We appreciate your concern, but we want you to know we’re doing better than ever.
The Undead VoIP Service Provider

Working with a cutting-edge technology like hosted VoIP, it’s not hard to find inspiration. We’re constantly pushing the envelope to build a better, faster, and stronger technology for our customers, and we love to hear feedback on how we’re doing. But today I thought I’d share different source of inspiration – one of the more peculiar, mildly-aggravating, but mostly hilarious signs that you’re doing something right:
When “competitors” – and I use that term loosely – steal your entire copyrighted website.

Whether we like it or not, the H1N1 virus is among us. While the virus affects our health, it can also affect our business. But smart CEO’s are using hosted VoIP PBX technology to end the virus’s daily commute.
