Thanks to the efforts of our entire team, TriNet Communications premiered its "new look" to thousands of attendees at the recent trade shows.  Both OSP Expo in San Antonio, and CableTech Expo in New Orleans saw plenty of traffic through our booth.  Enhancing our presence was the participation of many of our key OEM partners including TYCO, AFL, 3M, Tempo-Greenlee, Technetix, All Systems Broadband, and others. 

Leads obtained through the scanning system in the booth have been forwarded to each of the Regional Sales Managers for follow-up contact.  Additionally, these contacts have been added to our database to receive regular updates about TriNet news and products.

Our Operations Team has been hard at work to get the new ePortal ready for your customers to use.  In its initial release, the ePortal will allow qualified customers to obtain a password to view their order and invoice information in real time.

Drawing its data directly from MAS-500, the system will initially provide information such as orders placed, promised ship dates, ship date, invoices issued, any items on backorder, and payment terms.  Enhancements already being worked on will include tracking number information, and customer item number (e.g. CIFA number for Comcast).

In an effort to enhance communications with our customer base and, more importantly to "prime the pump" for your sales efforts, we will begin a regular newsletter to all customers.  The e-newsletter will provide features on products, OEM partners, new services, etc.  Your ideas on items to include in this newsletter are encouraged.

To ensure as wide of coverage as possible, please provide Greg with a spreadhseet of your customer contacts along with their email addresses by November 22nd.  Contact him if you need help in getting names and email addresses into usable format, he is here to help!

We plan on sending out somewhere a minimum of  6 to 8 issues annually.
