TCG Launches Awards Program, Taps Cbeyond, AT&T Alums

Telecom Consulting Group (TCG) developed a new structure for incentivizing and rewarding its partners.

The Florida-based agency unveiled its Circle of Excellence award program. TCG will recognize six levels of partners based on their annual monthly recurring revenue. The rewards kick in at an MRR of $50,000 and reach their highest level at $2.5 million. The rewards range from paid travel expenses to TCG’s Channel Source conference to other benefits.

“As a TCG agent, we are proud to have you as a member of the TCG family and that you are in our tight knit circle,” the company said. “We look forward to having you excel in The Circle of Excellence as you grow and prosper as a TCG agent.”

TCG’s Michael Feldman

TCG also announced two hires.

Michael Feldman joined the company as vice president of channel sales for the Northeast. He most recently worked for consultancy Connect Technology. His past employers include Momentum Telecom, where he worked for eight years, and Cbeyond. He works out of Philadelphia.

TCG’s Andrew Csutor

Andrew Csutor now serves as national channel manager for TCG. He most recently worked as a channel manager for New Horizon Communications. He also has worked at Cogent Communications, AT&T and Time Warner Cable.

He’ll operate out of Los Angeles.

New Suppliers

TCG also announced six vendors that have signed agreements with the master agent in the last three months. They include data center and network services provider 123.Net, internet service provider Consolidated Communications and broadband operator China Telecom. TCG also signed fiber providers Lux Speed, Everstream and Intelligent Fiber Networks.

The agency significantly expanded in 2020, signing numerous suppliers and even making an acquisition.

“We want to let the agent community know that we aren’t for sale, and are in major growth mode, and expanding into new markets across the country,” Dan Pirigyi, partner at TCG, said in October.
