If your organization is smaller than a Fortune 1,000 company but still uses large carriers for your phone or network services, you may have experienced subpar service, slow response times, and/or outdated solutions.
Many of the large carriers pay the great majority of their attention to Fortune 1,000 size organizations with minimal attention on the rest of their customer base. We call this group the “Forgotten 5,000”.
If this is similar to the experience you’ve had with your current carrier, you may be in this group and it may be time to explore other options.
COEO understands how important reliable phone and network performance is and has helped thousands of organizations transition from larger carriers to our service to improve their overall performance and customer support experience.
COEO delivers world-class solutions and service to all its customers regardless of their size ensuring the Forgotten 5,000 companies receive the same support and service as our Fortune 1,000 customers.
We want you to understand how COEO serves the Forgotten 5,000 so you can determine whether using COEO as your carrier is the right choice for your organization. By the end of this article, you’ll have the information to make this decision.
The ways COEO serves the Forgotten 5,000
COEO realizes that everyone’s business needs the same high level of attention regardless of the size of the company. COEO serves the Forgotten 5,000 with consistent support and service when most larger carriers may not.
We have built a business model that treats mid and small-sized businesses the same as Fortune 1,000 companies. Some of the ways that COEO serves the Forgotten 5,000 include:
Fully managed solution
One of the ways COEO serves the Forgotten 5,000 is by providing them with a fully managed solution. This benefits smaller companies by managing their solution for them when they lack full IT teams or have IT teams focused on other initiatives.
COEO also offers a “Bring Your Own Carrier” model enabling you to transition your existing phone service from your current carrier to COEO where we’ll manage the service for you.
For example, if you transition your AT&T service to COEO, COEO will take full responsibility for all customer service enabling your customer to communicate any issues or problems through COEO, rather than AT&T.
This will help resolve any issues faster since COEO provides industry-leading customer service.
Transitioning your previous carrier makes COEO responsible for the billing and support of the services being used, enabling you to consolidate providers, when appropriate, to migrate or replace your current solutions with COEO.
If you choose to partner with COEO, the only time you need to interact with the underlying provider is when there are issues with the service infrastructure. For example, if fiber needs to be installed, the underlying carrier would be responsible.
Having COEO provide and support all your solutions enables you to utilize best-in-class providers while communicating with a single point of contact to resolve any issues that may occur.
COEO provides a dedicated support team
COEO provides all customers, including the Forgotten 5000, with a dedicated team to implement and manage their solutions and help with any issues that may arise. A dedicated team that COEO provides your organization typically includes a/an:
Account manager

This can lead to productivity challenges resulting in lost customers and revenue. If your organization is part of the Forgotten 5,000 and is looking for better service and support for your network and phone solutions, working with COEO may be a good solution to solve these challenges.
However, if your organization is already receiving reliable support and service from your current carrier, working with COEO may not be necessary.
