About

Hello, I’m Tom Uhteg, and I am a Sales Account Manager here at VoIP Supply. I have been with VoIP Supply since February 2010, and I have learned a wealth of knowledge since that time.

I have always been interested in technology, and have now found the area that I specifically like to focus on in VoIP. I enjoy sitting down with customers and discussing what solutions I can offer them for their needs. Some solutions are more challenging than others and all are different but, that makes it fun.

Experience

After spending 4 years in the US Navy I wanted to find a new and interesting field to work in. In the Navy I worked on fighter aircraft which required attention to detail, and was very technical. This is why I feel sales suits me well.

On the phone with customers it can get very technical, and in every aspect of my job I must pay attention to detail. When I am not on the phone with customers I still stay plenty busy with other tasks. I go through many trainings with other members of our staff on all of the latest most cutting edge solutions.

On the topics that I am already well versed in, I spend time writing blog posts for our VoIP Insiders page. It’s very rewarding to be able to take the knowledge I have learned, and share it with others. Every day I get lots of questions on all different kinds of solutions. I feel this is what has helped train me the most, because it makes me go out there and find the answers when I don’t know them.

If there are any specific questions you have feel free to contact me directly.

In-house Trainings

I have taken many in-house trainings on different manufacturers, and solutions. With our head engineer I have been trained on:

• Setting Up Full Solutions
• Equipment Functionality
• Manufacturers Overview (Polycom, Digium, Sangoma, Aastra, Snom, etc.)

In addition to the above, I have participated in the in-office manufacturer led trainings. These include:

• Xorcom
• Digium
• Polycom
• 3CX
• Sangoma
• Konftel
• Jabra
• And many more...

Interests

Although the bulk of my week is spent focusing on VoIP, there are many other things I like to do. I love to run, play hockey, read, and travel. I am also a musician, and of course love spending time with family and friends.
