1. Voice tie lines eliminated in favor of VoIP calls between offices
2. Data connections increased in order to add voice to the data links
3. Long distance costs reduced due to site-to-site calls taking place on IP network
4. Monthly savings in recurring telecom charges: $990
Apply this monthly savings to the price for the equipment and installation in order to
determine the number of months it will take to pay for the investment.
The above cost figures are estimated.
In the above example case, the sales process focuses on the customer’s business needs, explores
current problems, and attempts to uncover previously unrecognized problems. Focus is not
shifted to the product until it is time to propose a solution for the customer’s needs. At this stage,
Vodavi product features are tied to solving the customer’s problems, increasing revenue or
service levels, and moving toward the customer’s goals.
