The SourceNet process
What happens when you contact SourceNet.
You bring the requirement. SourceNet helps define the scope, compares workable provider paths, and explains the tradeoffs; you decide which provider to use. Booking a consultation starts the conversation. It is not an order or a commitment to buy.
What to have ready
You do not need a formal RFP or every detail before booking. Whatever you already know helps the conversation focus on options that fit the actual job:
- How many users or seats need service
- Which sites and service addresses are involved
- What you use today, and what is not working
- Your timing or deadline
- Must-have features and requirements
Some services depend on a few extra details:
SIP trunking
Your current PBX, number inventory, call volume, and timeline.
Business internet
The service address, the applications that depend on the connection, the current pain point, and your deadline.
Dedicated internet access
The address, the workload the connection must carry, and your timeline.
Managed SD-WAN
Your sites, key applications, current circuits, and the support model you want.
5G business internet
The address, current circuit, critical applications, outage tolerance, and whether wireless is being considered as the primary connection or a backup.
From requirement to provider decision
Start with the requirement
Book a consultation through the calendar on this page. Sam Sapp, SourceNet's owner, reviews requests and follows up by email or phone to understand the seats, sites, current service, timing, and must-haves. Share what you know so far; the follow-up is where the practical scope gets filled in. More about SourceNet.
Turn the scope into comparable options
SourceNet restates the scope so provider quotes and options match the job you described, not a default package. That scope is then put to several providers and product paths, so what comes back is a comparison rather than a single quote. Availability varies by provider and address, and not every request has a workable fit. SourceNet does not force every buyer into the same product.
Review the workable paths
When a fit exists, you get a shortlist of a few workable paths with plain tradeoffs: notes on contracts, implementation considerations, practical limits, and availability at your addresses. Where provider quotes are part of the comparison, the point is to see how each provider prices the same scope, not to compare one headline number. Availability, final terms, and details such as number porting where relevant are confirmed before you commit.
You choose
You decide which provider, if any, to move forward with. SourceNet does not make that decision for you. The service agreement is between you and the chosen provider, and you remain that provider's customer of record.
Paperwork and onboarding coordination
After you choose, SourceNet helps coordinate the provider paperwork and keep the onboarding path clear. The provider then delivers the service under its own terms, including its installation timing.
Who does what
SourceNet is a sourcing desk. It is not the carrier, the software platform, or your IT department.
SourceNet
Helps define the scope, compares workable provider paths, explains the tradeoffs in plain language, and helps coordinate provider paperwork and onboarding after you choose.
The provider
Delivers the telecommunications, connectivity, or software service under its own terms. Pricing, availability at your address, and installation timing are set by the provider.
You
Share the requirements, compare the options, and choose the provider. You sign the service agreement with that provider and remain its customer of record.
Fees, compensation, and commitment
How SourceNet is compensated
There is no fee to start a consultation. If you proceed with a provider SourceNet helps place, SourceNet may be compensated by that provider. Recommendations remain based on fit and availability.
Booking is not a commitment
Booking starts the conversation. It does not commit you to buying service. A consultation is not an order or a contract for carrier services, and it does not guarantee pricing, availability, or installation dates; those come from the provider you choose.
How it works FAQ

No. There is no fee to start a consultation. If you proceed with a provider SourceNet helps place, SourceNet may be compensated by that provider.
Who follows up after I book?
Sam Sapp, SourceNet's owner, reviews requests and follows up by email or phone to learn the practical scope and timing.
Is booking a consultation a commitment?
No. Booking is a request for contact and options. It is not an order, a contract for service, or a guarantee of pricing, availability, or installation dates.
Is SourceNet the service provider?
No. SourceNet is a sourcing desk that compares provider options. The provider you choose delivers the service under its own terms.
Who do I sign the service agreement with?
With the provider you choose. You remain that provider's customer of record, and SourceNet helps coordinate the paperwork and onboarding path.
Can I keep my existing phone numbers?
Existing numbers may be portable, but portability is not automatic. Number porting is standard with business voice providers, and each number should be confirmed before you commit to a provider or a cutover date.
