FeatureTel to receive Growth & Profitability award
Raleigh Chamber of Commerce to recognize business VoIP provider FeatureTel with Pinnacle Award
APEX, N.C. (April 19, 2011) – FeatureTel will be among “the best of the best in local businesses” recognized at the Greater Raleigh Chamber's 2011 Pinnacle Business Awards Tuesday, May 3, 2011, at the Raleigh Convention Center. FeatureTel will receive the Pinnacle Award in the “Steady Growth & Profitability” category.
“We couldn’t be more proud about being selected for this prestigious award,” said FeatureTel Founder and CEO Paul Levering. “It means a great deal for us to know our efforts and success are recognized at such a high level by the Raleigh Chamber, from a field of many other successful businesses.”
FeatureTel, which offers hosted VoIP business telephone service over private networks (also known as telecom in the Cloud), has grown with steady strength each year since launching in 2003. It was the first VoIP company in North Carolina, and introduced many businesses to the the idea of not needing to invest in a telephone system.
“Although our profits have grown year-on-year, we still operate like a small company in that we deliver personalized service,” Levering said. “Our response to life’s imperfections is an all-hands effort with 24/7 technical support from local techs as well as in-person installation and training.”
Levering further explained another differentiator that contributes to the company’s success -- guaranteed call quality: “The main point of technical difference is that our Hosted VoIP service is usually delivered over a private circuit. That means we can guarantee the quality of the connection and the call. And that is critically important for our customers as they conduct business with clients, suppliers and other key players.”
The Pinnacle Awards also honor local companies for their excellence in such areas as customer service, sustainability, integrity and leadership, as well as outstanding entrepreneurial efforts. The May 3 event at the Raleigh Convention Center begins at 5:00 pm with a networking reception, followed at 6:00 pm by dinner and the awards.
