Thanks for returning. You're a very smart person.
What a difference a year makes.
Last year at this time of the year, I was lucky to see one or two 200+ seat phone system deals a month come across my desk. Now they are flowing in once or twice a day. Over the last two days I have seen three 200 seat plus deals close, a handful of 50 - 75 seat deals and a confirmation of a 26 location, 4,000+ seat deal.
Last year the deals were met with more opposition and tighter margins. This year, customers want to make the switch to an IP based phone system and are willing to pay for it.
If you are a VoIP phone system reseller and you are not “cranking-up” your marketing and advertising efforts, start doing so immediately. The phone system deals are getting larger, easier to close and the margins are the best they have been in years.
I am not sure what has caused this recent surge. Maybe it is that the technology is now trusted. Maybe business are better educated. Maybe we are simply doing a better job selling. Maybe it is all three. Whatever it is, the market is hot and I can’t wait to see just how hot it will get!

hurray! I seem to fix 2-3 asterisk installation per week now days.
does VoIPsupply refer local installers?
@db:
I can remember years ago folks calling in to buy an asterisk system on a Friday for a Saturday install with no prior experience…fortunately today our customers are much more informed and we no longer sell plain asterisk solutions.
We do refer local resellers to our customers all the time for installation, maintenance, integration, training and on-going support.
