Responsibilities

Imagine you have had the same slow internet and TV provider for many years, but haven’t been quite satisfied due to the number of outages that occur on a regular basis and their less-than-helpful customer support line. You don’t think you have any other options, but then a refreshingly friendly TDS Telecom Outside Residential Sales Representative shows up on your doorstep to discuss some new options for you to explore! You learn about Fiber that can run directly to your home and will provide you with internet that is more reliable, has faster speeds, saves you money, and connects you to the people you care about most.

Are you this helpful sales rep who is excited about the opportunity to help your community stay connected?
