About Us

Our Story

Welcome to Evantage, Inc, DFW’s leader in new customer acquisition and sales consulting. We are dedicated to helping large companies develop and execute more effective sales and marketing campaigns. We do this by providing a professionally trained face-to-face sales team that can adapt quickly to changes in target market and products. We realize in today’s day and age, telemarketing and direct mail cannot effectively help a company gain and retain their clients. We have proven that a smile and a handshake is a more powerful tool when it comes to acquiring lifelong customers for our clients.

 

Evantage, inc. was founded in April of 2006 and our first client was a major telecommunications company based in Dallas. We have worked with them ever since, but have also taken on new campaigns and expanded from Dallas to having 21 offices throughout 14 states as of December 2023.  By the end of  2024, we anticipate having 40 locations across the nation.  We currently handle campaigns for well established, blue-chip companies in the following industries: telecommunications, high-speed internet, fiber optics, television and cell phones.

Our Team

As a growth-focused organization, we understand that our people are our greatest asset.

MANAGEMENT

Every manager in our company is a full operating partner, enjoying full profit-sharing, strong corporate benefits and the autonomy that comes with running your own business.
