Fiber Maps and Estimates Webinar

June 19, 2017·NLT Staff

DIY Fiber Mapping and Estimating Webinar

  • Having trouble screening serious customers from window shoppers?
  • Do your estimates take more than 30 minutes to produce?
  • What if you could qualify leads faster?

About the Webinar

Sometimes a quick-and-dirty estimate is all you need to arrive at a go/no-go decision about a fiber extension.

Few small broadband providers can hire full-time sales engineers on call to provide same-day estimates. Paying dedicated sales engineers is expensive, and pulling outside-plant engineers off billable projects is disruptive to the provisioning process.

Having the ability to provide a timely ballpark estimate for fiber installation allows a broadband operator to qualify leads faster and focus its limited resources on viable opportunities.

This workshop uses free mapping tools and spreadsheets to walk through mapping points of interest, high-risk areas, areas of opportunity, and proposed fiber routes — and using your measurements to come up with ballpark estimates.

Webinar Takeaways

  • How to generate quick ballpark estimates for fiber installations
  • How to qualify leads faster, so your shop can focus on viable opportunities
  • What NLT UtilityLINE is doing to make fiber mapping and estimating easier
