Birch Reports Record Second Quarter Sales Results

Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO

Tuesday, July 21st, 2015

Birch Communications, Inc., a leading nationwide provider of communications, network, cloud and IT services to small, mid-sized, enterprise and wholesale businesses, announced today the results of its second quarter 2015 sales, which was the best three month sales period in the company's history.  Birch's six diverse, efficient sales channels collectively achieved an overall sales increase of 112% compared to the same quarter last year. 

The growth was fueled by record sales of advanced services and the onboarding of several new enterprise customers.  In the first half of 2015, Birch continued its expansion of network and product features, announcing several enhancements to its cloud phone system, TotalCloud PBX, including new plan types, a "bring your own device" option and updates to its communicator application for mobile devices.  Birch also announced an expansion of its metro-fiber network and enhancements to its MPLS offering.

Vincent M. Oddo, Birch's President and CEO, delivered the impressive results at the company's Q2 '15 Town Hall meeting last Thursday.  Oddo said, "Our Q2 sales results reflect the hard work we have put in to refining our products, services and sales channels to enhance our customer experience.  Birch customers are at the forefront of everything we do and our sales success this quarter is indicative of how closely our solutions now align to the needs of the marketplace." 

"We are thrilled with the results of this past quarter; every single sales channel had significant growth," said Christopher Ramsey, Senior Vice President and CSO at Birch.  "With a best-of-breed IP-Network that spans 22 states and 47 major markets and an ever-expanding product set, it is easy to understand why customers are choosing Birch." 

With its continued focus on customers, Birch also recently opened a new Executive Briefing Center (EBC) in its Atlanta Operations Center.  This sophisticated facility serves as a showcase for Birch's suite of solutions, particularly its flagship products, TotalCloud PBX, TotalCloud Data Center, and TotalCloud File Storage.  Prospective customers now have the opportunity to experience Birch's solutions in a hands-on, local environment.  Birch plans to expand the EBC concept to many of its local sales offices across the country in 2015.
