In the competitive world of fiber internet sales, great infrastructure and blazing speeds aren’t always enough. At the door—or over the phone—what often makes the difference is the offer. A well-crafted promotion can break down objections, create urgency, and help customers choose your service over the competition.

At Miller Bros Sales, we’ve helped over 20 partner fiber providers close thousands of installs across residential and SMB channels. Here’s a breakdown of special offers that are working right now in real-world field and phone campaigns—and why they convert.

🎯 Why Offers Matter More Than Ever

Fiber customers today are overwhelmed with options. From legacy cable to flashy new wireless ads, they’re bombarded with messaging—and many hesitate to switch due to installation concerns, existing contracts, or simple inertia.

That’s where the right offer becomes a key sales tool. It does three critical things:

1. Reduces friction in the decision-making process.
   
   
2. Differentiates you from the cable companies.
   
   
3. Creates urgency to say yes now, not later.
   
   

✅ Offers That Are Converting Right Now

1. 1–4 Months of Free Internet

Best For: Residential & SMB | Why It Works: Removes price objections and adds perceived value.

Giving away the first month or several months free is the simplest, most effective way to overcome hesitation. For new fiber builds where awareness is low or trust hasn’t been established yet, this instantly lowers the risk in the customer’s eyes.

📌 Pro tip: Make sure techs and reps understand and reinforce the offer—many cancellations come when the customer forgets or the tech doesn’t confirm the deal.

2. Buyout Offers (Pay Off Their Existing Contract)

Best For: Residential customers still under contract | Why It Works: Handles the "I'm stuck with my provider" objection.

This works especially well in areas where big-name ISPs have 12–24 month contracts. A small buyout credit (e.g. $200) shows you’re serious and gives customers a reason to act now instead of waiting 8 months.

3. $100 Visa Gift Card or Bill Credit

Best For: All verticals | Why It Works: Feels like a bonus, but is cheaper than long-term discounts.

The prepaid card incentive is powerful because it has perceived "cash" value. These offers convert best when tied to fast action ("Get this if you install this week").

📊 In our SMB campaigns, a $100 Visa card increased scheduled installs by over 20% compared to no offer.

4. Free Install & Free Equipment

Best For: Business plans or competitive residential zones | Why It Works: Eliminates hidden fees that scare off buyers.

In some cases, customers are on the fence due to vague install fees or hardware charges. Offering free install and a modem/router bundle simplifies the math and removes friction.

5. Speed Upgrade for 12 Months

Best For: 2-tier residential plans | Why It Works: Customers try premium speed without risk.

Offering a 1-gig plan at the price of 500 Mbps for the first year is a creative way to highlight your top-tier service—and creates long-term stickiness if they enjoy it.

🔄 How to Deploy These Offers Effectively

An offer alone isn’t enough—you need the right timing, training, and tech:

• ✅ Train your reps: Make sure every door-to-door or inside sales rep can clearly explain the value and terms of your promotions.
  
  
• ✅ Align your install team: If a customer hears “3 free months,” but the tech doesn’t confirm it, you’ll lose trust fast.
  
  
• ✅ Use urgency: Limited-time framing (“This ends Friday”) works. Scarcity works. Even small deadlines help.
  
  
• ✅ Track and test: Use simple CRM tags or spreadsheets to see what offer each customer received, and monitor install success rates.
  
  

🎁 Bonus: Bundle Offers That Add Value Without Cost

Sometimes, the best offers cost nothing. Consider:

• Referral bonuses: "Refer a neighbor, get a $50 credit."
  
  
• Local partner tie-ins: Free month of a local streaming or security service.
  
  
• Lawn restoration credit: After digging, offering a small credit or service to restore the customer’s lawn can go a long way.
