    T-Mobile Announces New Mobile B2B Solutions

    T-mobile announced today that it intends to ease further into business-to-business (B2B) services with some new service offerings.

    T-Mobile Office Connect is the mobile carrier’s communications solution for businesses. It will integrate T-Mobile’s 4G network to enable “desk phone features on mobile devices. The carrier claims that employees will then only need one number and voicemail box to manage all of their business contacts, and that desk phone to mobile transfers will be smooth. The service will also allow customers to route international calls through “the least expensive option” and bills long-distance calls at business rates.

    T-Mobile is pricing Office Connect at $9.95 per month per line, which includes hardware, software licenses, and installation costs.

    “Today, mobile devices are critical extensions of an organization’s business infrastructure,” said Frank Sickinger, T-Mobile’s SVP of B2B. “Therefore, making and protecting strategic mobile investments are more pivotal than ever before. Our new unified communications and equipment financing solutions demonstrate T-Mobile’s commitment, as the ‘Un-Carrier’, to challenge the status quo for our B2B customers.”

    T-Mobile also announced its Mobile Device Payment Solution (MDPS), a service designed to allow business to finance the cost of devices over time. The carrier claims the service has “competitive rates” and can be offered at no interest with the proper credit approval. Qualified Corporate Liable (CL) businesses will be able to reserve capital and finance upfront costs through third-party lender CFS.

    Social Media Sells More B2B Leads [Infographic]

    If you’re not using social media to get your products and services recognized, you have to explore this social media business to business infographic from Insideview.Com.

    Why bother you say? For one, IBM reported a 400% increase in sales after implementing a pilot program to explore the advantages of marketing via social media.

    Another reason? Almost 70% of a salespersons time is spent doing things other than selling, social media can cut that time down significantly.

    Over 90% of business to business companies are using at least Facebook. That’s almost everyone! LinkedIn generates more leads than a company blog, Twitter, or Facebook and less than half the businesses are using it. Can you say opportunity!

    If you’re aren’t taking advantage of these trends, you might as well reserve a spot in the museum because you have become a dinosaur. Selling B2B via social networking helps you build new relationships with ease, gives you broader coverage, and allows new clients the ability to seek you out 24/7. It’s worth a try, in fact, it’s a no-brainer!
