Improved profitability: exploring the financial benefits of working with Telstra & Dicker Data

With the current uncertainty of the economic climate, it's so important to have multiple revenue streams available for your business. Doing so means more security for you and your team, and less time spent wondering if your financial position will change. When we look at some of our most successful partners, there is one thing that ties them together, and that’s the fact that they sell Telstra services - this allows them to access commission as an alternate revenue stream, without needing to outlay large amounts of cash of their own.

How does it work? 

Unlike our other vendors, Telstra operates via an agency model, which means partners are eligible for commission, instead of purchasing product or services and then applying a mark up to achieve the desired margin. This is a positive for any business looking to increase revenue without the financial outlay. 

To make the process even more enticing, once the sale has been processed all billing is managed through Telstra, so the aftercare component of your work is simplified.

Better Profitability

It’s normal to be cautious when it comes to outlaying large amounts of cash to close a deal. Combine that with managing a debtors book and invoice chasing, and you can see why commission is so appealing.

Not having to carry debt reduces the cost of doing business, and reducing the number of overdue accounts your business holds is a simple way to improve your profitability. This can make it easier to access loans or just invest in growing your business so that you can cater for the needs of a larger client-base.

Managing cashflow and revenue

There are currently two ways in which your Telstra commissions can be paid, depending on your individual needs: 

1. Electronic funds transfer (EFT) – payments can be made into your nominated bank account.
2. Credit note – can be applied against outstanding or future Dicker Data invoices.

Having options on how your commission is paid means you can better manage your cashflow, revenue, and expenses to allow yourself peace of mind.
