For internet service providers
Plan fiber field sales around the markets you can serve.
Home Front Solutions reviews national opportunities from High Point, North Carolina, and scopes each program market by market. Start with a provider-approved footprint, an executable handoff and a clear definition of the result you need.
Staffing, provider authority, timing and commercial terms are confirmed in the proposal for each engagement.
The operating model
What is outsourced ISP field sales?
An ISP or authorized channel engages an outside team to explain an approved internet offer in person, help eligible residents place accurate orders and follow an agreed handoff. The signed scope defines who provides the team, systems, training and reporting.
The provider remains the authority for serviceability, offers, order acceptance, installation and final account status. A market inquiry does not establish a current provider partnership or available field crew.
Before the first field day
Build the brief around five decisions.
Use these questions to identify gaps before a launch date or headcount is proposed.
1. Define the ready-to-sell footprint
Provide an up-to-date eligible address set, the provider's qualification source, release dates, exclusions and the owner of changes. Keep planned construction separate from addresses ready to order.
2. Confirm permission and customer terms
Document the authorized entity, product, approved claims, identification, property access and complaint path. A map or city list does not grant permission to represent a provider or canvass a property.
3. Agree the field and installation handoff
Name the field manager, order system and installation contact. Identify who owns rejected orders, appointment changes, customer follow-up and unresolved exceptions.
4. Set the commercial event
Define whether an invoice or commission depends on a submitted order, accepted order, completed installation or another event. Record fees, expenses, reversals, dispute windows and the source used for reconciliation.
5. Review staffing and measurement
Agree on available staffing, travel, onboarding and reporting cadence. Track contacts, orders, accepted orders, completed installations and cancellations separately for the same cohort and time period.
Practical tools
Bring a better-defined scope to the conversation.
These resources are frameworks, not claims about a previous client result.

- ISP capabilities document (PDF) Review a concise overview of the proposed scope and responsibilities.
- Fiber field-sales RFP and scope template Compare responsibilities, access, pricing and exit terms.
- Fiber pilot scorecard Agree on definitions, observation windows and next-step criteria.
- Serviceability and order-quality guide Separate submitted orders, accepted orders and installations.
- Launch economics simulator Model your own assumptions without treating the output as measured results.
Market context
Public data is a starting point, not a release list.
The FCC National Broadband Map uses provider-reported availability, which can be challenged. It does not establish an orderable address for a particular campaign or Home Front's authorization to sell there.
For example, Brightspeed reported in May 2026 that its fiber network reached more than 736,000 North Carolina locations, with additional locations planned. In June 2026, it reported more than 350,000 locations reached in Ohio and further expansion planned. These are the provider's statewide statements, not Home Front project results or an endorsement. Check current address data before planning a program.
State resources
Research a market in any state.
The directory links to existing Home Front planning pages and state broadband offices listed in the NTIA State and Territory Map. A state page is a planning resource; it does not claim a local office, active deployment or provider authorization. Verify any source and program's current status.

Bring the market. We’ll review the scope.
Share the service area, approved offer, desired outcome, target timing and the person who owns fulfillment. Home Front can discuss fit and a written proposal once the operating details are available.
