• 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
Challenge - Selling it Effectively
You can’t sell UCaaS if your prospectdoesn’t trust VoIP to start with.
