A Partnership Approach
It is my business to keep abreast of market conditions affecting the industry. Before seeking solutions for your business needs, it is vitally important that we carefully define your objective in selling your service - whether you want to keep the staff and sell your business as a going concern or sell the accounts only.

Therefore, I like to confer with my clients and discuss their likes, dislikes, and the desired outcome of their transaction before recommending how to proceed. This counseling approach allows us to work as partners to achieve results whether buying or selling. My goal is to help you reach your objectives; not to sell you on doing what benefits me.

Getting Results
Getting results for my clients is the most satisfying part of being a Telecom business broker.

Starting in 1979, TAS Marketing has consulted and sold ancillary products to the TAS industry. Beginning it's brokering of businesses in 1991, we have sold over 250+ businesses valued at over $55 Million dollars.

Why Am I Able To Achieve Results Where Others Fail?
Here are a Few Reasons:

• I Sell Only Telephone Answering, Alarm Monitoring, Voice Mail, and Inbound Call Center Companies. Serving this nitch industry allows me to focus 100% of my efforts upon doing what I do best.
  
• I Accept Only Saleable Listings. There is no point in wasting your time or mine trying to accomplish the unlikely or impossible. Consequently if I accept your listing, the only tasks remaining are those, which should lead us to a successfully closed transaction.
  
• I Work With Motivated Buyers. Before agreeing to work with other prospective buyers, I determine that they are motivated to act, able to decide and have the financial ability to buy.
  
• I Am Knowledgeable In The Field. I have owned and operated my own service as well as consulted and sold telecom equipment since 1979, which has given me a definite advantage in evaluating and selling a business.
  
• I Know How To Get The Job Done.I am well known in the industry and have traveled extensively throughout every state visiting and selling to Telephone Answering Services making it easier for me to contact the decision maker, and in some cases the children of the owners, getting you fast results.
  
• We Advertise Extensively. With over twenty-five years of experience, I have hundreds of contacts in the acquisition mode that are interested in buying. We advertise extensively in Connections Magazine. We also advertise in the Wall Street Journal and other trade publications serving the Teleservices industry. We market businesses over the Internet using our own web site. We also have our market listings on Business Resale Network, Bizquest and Mergers & Acquisitions web sites attracting those individuals that are new to the business. With submissions on a monthly basis, we are always in top placement of the search engines, which are designed to point potential buyers to our web site.
