Q.
How does the program make us money?
A. For every one of your members that enrolls and uses our long
distance service, we will pay you a monthly percentage of the total dollar
amount generated by all domestic long distance calls. In this example
we'll use a 10% return to you.
Typical scenario: let's say
that 1000 of your members sign up and use our long distance service and
the average monthly usage is $20 per member. That would be a total of
$20,000 of usage for the month.
Multiply the $20,000 by 10%
and your organization just earned $2,000 of new revenue for the month, or
$24,000 for the year and beyond.
Q.
When do we receive payment?
A. We mail you your check the 1st of each month along with a
report showing all relative information as to how we calculated your
return.
Q.
Do our members really save money?
A. Yes. Plus we offer you a choice of rates to offer to your
members. The higher the rate, the greater the return to your organization.
All of our rates are much lower than AT&T, MCI and Sprint's residential
rates, so you are assured of saving your members money while generating
revenue for yourself. Everyone truly benefits.
Q.
How is the quality of the service?
A. Excellent. Of course you knew we were going to say that -
but it really is great. All long distance calls are carried over a
worldwide digital and fiber optic network for optimum clarity and
reliability.
The only difference your
members will notice is that their monthly long distance phone bill has
gone down.
Q.
Who provides customer support?
A. We do. We take great pride in the superior service we
provide. Every customer service call is handled by a live, professionally
trained member of our support team. Try getting that from any of the big
long distance companies anymore. It doesn't exist. Your members will love
our service.
Q.
What do you mean by "personalized programs"?
A. One of the great features of our program is our ability to
personalize. What this means is, at your option, we will mail each
customer their monthly long distance bill with your logo and name. This is
a great reminder to your member that using the service benefits your
organization.
Not only is the bill
personalized, but we provide a blank second page of the bill. This allows
you to, in effect, create a free newsletter telling your members of
important information and upcoming events.
We also provide a calling
card to your members that features your logo and name, so that they are
reminded they are saving money and helping your organization every time
they pull it out to make a call.
Q.
How do our members enroll?
A. They just fill out a simple application for service. This
application can be in a newsletter, brochure, ad, or even on your website.
Q.
How do we get people to join?
A. Every organization is unique. Essentially, however you
communicate with your members today can be the vehicle to promote the
program. We will work with you in the development of marketing the program.
Q.
Why do this with longdistance.com?
A. We are one of the very few long distance companies created
and structured solely to provide private residential affinity programs.
For over a decade it has been who we are and what we do. We are the best.
Q.
How do we get started?
A. Call 1-800-783-7651 and ask for Heather Souder, Affinity
Director. Or you may email us at:
support@affinitynetwork.org
and leave your name and telephone number.
We will be happy to explain
our program in detail and answer your questions to determine if your
organization qualifies for our program. We look forward to hearing from
you.
