Challenge - Selling it Effectively


  •   FACT: 28 - 32% of potential buyers with less than 100
      employees Continue to Think VoIP Suffers From
      Major Quality of Service Issues

  •   Selling MUST begin with quality, assurance of reliability and
      ease of migration (keep your existing number)

      •   Bottom line is they need to know “it works!”

  •   Next, establish the fact that it will save them money
      You can’t sell UCaaS if your prospect
      doesn’t trust VoIP to start with.
