Dominic Antonini President and Founder |
Dominic received
his degree in Business Finance. He started his career in the Telecom Industry
at Allnet in 1996, later acquired by Frontier then Global Crossing, and earned
Presidents Club honors each year. He then moved on to a
position with ICG Local Services. Having experience in Long Distance he decided
to network and partner with top reps at Long Distance carriers to offer advice
on total solutions for customers. I would look at customers bills and
instantly think of multi carrier solutions that could save them money or better
service their applications. By building a reputation for knowing the
products of many carriers and building a strong network of reps that would in
turn introduce Local opportunities Dominic became ICGs top producing rep
for the State of California. His achievements include changing the North
American Numbering Plan to move the prefix 483 from area code 714 to 949 to be
used exclusively for Conexant Systems and delivered a build out of redundant
SONET rings allowing special access to carrier Points of Presence to their
campus. Working with customers large and small it became clear that knowledge
and access to the products of multiple providers are needed to pick the best
ones for each customer. This along with clients requests for a single
point of contact became the basis of what is now the Telcombrokers
Concept.
Since launching the Telcombrokers business model in 2000,
Dominic has assembled an amazing telecom portfolio by negotiating agreements
between Telcombrokers and over 35 carriers. Our agreements provide access to
the best products by making Telcombrokers authorized agents of carriers and
selected resellers with proven track records. Dominic has become one of the
nations top experts in wholesale buying and has helped to negotiate over 25
buy/sell agreements between phone companies. Through our agent channel he has
directly or indirectly provided recommendations and solutions to over 1,000
business clients. Telcombrokers currently has over $25,000,000 of Telecom Spend
under management. Dominic continues to work with our carriers to ensure
Telcombrokers clients receive the most up-to-date products at highly
competitive rates. He also works with various carriers, phone companies and
wholesale buyers across the country to help them lower their costs by adding
carrier routes which improve their Least Cost Routing tables and net
profit. |

work with the Direct Reps there was never any consistency with carrier contacts
or account management." In addition, she was never confident that she was
getting the best deal for her company. Telcombrokers changed all of that! In
her role as the IT Director, she evaluated and negotiated with multiple vendors
implementing 15 PBX systems which supported hundreds of people in each
location. Stanya was responsible for selecting carriers managing the
implementation of local voice, dedicated long distance and Internet T-1
services. "As the IT Director, Telcombrokers became a huge asset to me. They
were able to present several cost effective options for our business in a non
threatening sales kind of way and offered recommendations I could
trust."
Looking for new challenges, Stanya decided to join the
Telcombrokers team to help others who were in her position. Having been on both
sides of the table, Stanya clearly understands clients' needs. She is a firm
believer in the Telcombrokers model because "they demonstrated their knowledge
of countless products that I never knew existed that would benefit my company
and their commitment to customer service was second to none". Her commitment is
to work with other IT Directors and Business Owners to provide them with the
utmost in customer care, knowledge of products, and best pricing to be the
single source to help companies make informed and cost effective
decisions.
Stanya's outstanding organizational, administrative,
interpersonal and project management skills translate exceptionally well to the
telecommunications industry. This proactive, high energy and efficient
professional truly represents the old-fashioned work ethic and commitment to
honest, fair and dedicated service. |
