Symphony managing director Andy Smith expects to recruit up to 60 dealers within the next 12 months.
"Symphony has not really launched into the dealer market yet" he said. "But we see an opportunity to do so now and we want to give dealers a part-share in the deal. Basically were willing to give dealers part-share in ongoing commission in return for high quality customers and loyalty."
Smith explained the distributor wanted to get fixed-line and mobile users on to the same deal so was providing an incentive for dealers.
"Well pay them upfront competitive commission as well as ongoing commission for the life of the subscriber and ongoing commission for fixed-line subscribers" he said.
Smith insists that the initiative will not affect Anglia Telecom which was taken over by Symphony last year because of Anglias mobile-only focus. He added: "This is a complementary service provided by Symphony that will not affect Anglia."

The network has introduced a £20 monthly combined 3G and WiFi option that offers unlimited use or customers can opt for pay-as-you-use via a credit card payment online.
Existing price plans have also been changed. The £5 one-hour pass now allows users to spend 60 minutes online within a 24-hour period. The price of the three-hour weekly pass has been cut to £10 while the three-hour 30-day pass is down to £40.
The move is in line with the network´s strategy to drive business users on to the wireless data network. However T-Mobile WiFi managing director Jay Saw insisted it would not push connectivity on to handsets.
"We are pushing WiFi for business users on laptops" he said. "It isn´t optimised for handsets. Handset users have all they need in 3G and GPRS. Consumers can get on the web through our web´n´walk service."
Saw conceded that the momentum of hotspot locations had begun to slow but added that the service would be rolled out to five more UK airports and 17 mainline rail stations.
"The market is for businesses and we are already in the locations they want" he said.
The network currently has a presence in 400 Starbucks outlets 200 hotels and seven BAA-run airports.
