DRAPER, Utah -October 30, 2008 - RealTimeT1.com, a provider of real-time T1 price quoting through it's patent-pending GeoQuote technology and privately owned owned subsidiarity of Telarus Inc., a master agency, today announced it's book of business has reached $3 million in total monthly recurring revenue.

"It's an honor to reach the $3 million dollar plateau just six years after starting this company from nothing" commented Adam Edwards, president and CEO of Telarus, Inc. He continued, "The magnitude of this achievement is further compounded by the fact that we did it while our economy is in the midst of a slow down coupled with continued carrier price erosion. Even in the midst of all of that, our agents were able to make up the difference by focusing on new opportunities they uncovered through our lead programs, upselling services to existing clients, brining in larger ticket sales through complex solution selling, and by retaining existing customers. It's hard to grow a book of business when existing customers are slipping out the back door."

Some initiatives that attract new partners to Telarus include:

• Fiber mapping software integrated with Google Maps
• Instant quotes for commercial data and voice services
• Warm internet leads delivered exclusively to selling agents
• Targeted cold leads delivered by vendors to qualified agents
• VARNetwork.com, which generates equipment leads to VARs as a reward for carrier service referrals
• GeoQuote 2.1 plug-ins for public-facing affiliate web sites

"Telarus and RealTimeT1.com really are different," added Patrick Oborn, co-founder of Telarus, Inc. and company VP of Marketing. "We hope that our recent achievement of reaching the $3 million dollar book of business, plus the recognition we've received from U.S. Business Review, along with Phone+ Magazine (top 50 Channel Program), CRN Magazine (Emerging Technology Channel), VARBusiness Magazine (5-Star Gold Partner Program), and from the members of the Telecom Association (Top Master Agent for 2008) - will convince agents that they should give Telarus a try. We really do have real-time quotes and fiber look-up tools, we really do deliver warm leads to our performing agents, we really do generate equipment leads for the VAR partners of our agent base, it's all just too much for an elevator story. All we ask for is a chance to earn their business by making their telecom sales agency more streamlined with our technology and profitable through our lead programs."
