Telecom Distributor & Manufacturer FOR SALE

   

Mike Sandman Enterprises, Inc. (MSE) is a national distributor of unique telecom products, tools and training to Interconnects, telephone equipment manufacturers, phone companies, corporate telecom departments, and state/local/federal governments.

Why is this "ad" on our web site? With over 2,000 visitors a day to our site, many of whom are in the telecom business with a problem to solve, it's the easiest way to find a buyer. An M&A guy could make thousands of cold calls to likely buyers, and never come close to finding a company - or the right individual at a company who has a vision of how MSE's unique assets can help their business grow.

MSE is looking for offers from companies with industry expertise that will allow both companies to grow and innovate, more than either company can alone.

Gwen C. Edwards, a former telecom executive, wrote in a recent Business Week Magazine article that:

"You should be able to identify a "pain" that your product or service will alleviate."

"There's truth in the old expression that people will pay more for a pain reliever than for a vitamin."

MSE’s specialty has been alleviating telecom pain for the last 17 years.

Located in an 8,000 square foot facility in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL, MSE has been providing unique telecommunications solutions since 1990. MSE's tools and devices are used at most of the Interconnects in the US. MSE's mailing list consists of over 37,000 customers and catalog requestors. No single customer purchases 2% of MSE's total sales.

Most distributors carry stuff that can be found at numerous places on the web (from numerous distributors). MSE is a destination for both unique problem solving devices, and the technical information needed to use them. With today's quickly changing telecom environment, this guarantees a steady flow of both old and new customers.

MSE is completely computerized, with screen pops and a custom POS system allowing customers to place their order and get back to work in an average of under four minutes. There is no voice mail system... all calls are handled in a timely manner by real people.

MSE's experienced staff are experts in their jobs, which allows MSE to not only take orders and ship as quickly as possible, but to come up with solutions to a customer's problem by combining MSE products - which includes custom manufacturing a unique product as quickly as the same day.

All of MSE's products are bar-coded, and every item that's shipped is scanned by a program that verifies that the correct part and quantity is being packed. That results in accurate picking and packing, allowing for only a single shipping/packing/picking error for every 3,000 orders.

Product categories include:

  • Devices to solve problems connecting phone systems to phone and VoIP lines
  • Unique problem solving telecom products
  • Devices to eliminate RF interference on telephones
  • Lightning protection for telephone lines
  • Dialers and single line phones for special applications
  • Handsets for telephones and kiosks, including custom handsets
  • Specialized tools to install and repair telephone systems and cabling
  • Training Videos & Books (MSE has an in-house TV studio)
  • Commodity telecom products like jacks, cables and patch panels

Starting as a telecom distributor with a single product in 1990, MSE added manufacturing in the early 1990s. Today, a good percentage of MSE's unique products are manufactured by MSE, and that percentage is growing.

Most of the electronic devices manufactured by MSE are purposely made to allow quick adaptation of the product to meet needs that nobody has dreamed up yet. MSE uses their short-run manufacturing expertise to profitably meet the customer's needs in smaller quantities.
