I am reposting this un-answered question.   Feel free to use
information you can find about this from any source,  I am not looking
for someone that has first hand experiance.


Hello, 
I am looking at starting out as a Telecommunications Consultant, I 
have about 7 years of experiance with Voice, Data, Internet, Phone 
Systems, etc.  I am confidentient from a technical aspect I can 
acomidate clients. 
I have 3 phone companies that have offered quite reasonable 
commissions for refering clients to there companies. 
 
I am looking for some real-life numbers for someone that has worked as
a Telecommunications Consultant.  There have been clec's in the area 
for almost 5 years, so there are a good amount of business that have 
switched.  I have sure that there are a lot that have not switched 
yet.  The population of the main area I would be selling in is about 
225,000 people.  I would be targeting all business customers.  I am 
wondering what real life projections I can expect.  So where are the 
questions: 
 
1.# What volume ($) can I expect to be able to sell in the first year,
full time. 
 
2.# Any general suggestions / Comments as far as how to start selling
/ Advertising?
 
3.# Any pros / cons to the field that you could tell /or warn me 
about. 
 
Please ask questions if you have any.
