As a business owner, it’s important for you to find a VoIP reseller you can have confidence in. Someone you can trust to always give you the guidance and direction you need when it comes to efficiently managing your communication system. When it comes to running a successful business, it’s important that every relationship you have is one that’s going to add value to your company. Thus, the relationship you have with your VoIP reseller is definitely going to be one of the more important business relationships you’ll ever have.
Finding the Best VoIP Reseller… For You
So how do you go about finding the best VoIP reseller? How do you choose a reseller who’s going to be the best fit for you and your particular type of business? Simply start by asking fellow business associates who have already made the upgrade from landline to VoIP technology. Ask them if VoIP technology is working better for them (they’re going to say Yes!), and then ask them who they use as their VoIP provider.
A few more questions to ask – Are they happy with all of the VoIP services they subscribed to? Do they experience any significant periods of downtime? Are there any security issues? Is their VoIP provider always there when they need something? Do they consider their chosen VoIP services to be affordable?
When you’re able to talk with someone who’s already using VoIP services, you’re getting the firsthand information you need to make the best choice.
3 Tips
The following are 3 great tips that will help you in your mission to find a professional VoIP reseller who truly wants to help you create a communication system that will help you take your business to a whole new level, and at an affordable price. Nice!
1. Experience. Be sure to find out how long the VoIP reseller has been reselling VoIP services. While it makes sense that the longer a reseller has been reselling VoIP, the more they’re going to know about this communication technology, this isn’t always the case. New VoIP resellers who have recently started reselling VoIP services to business owners are doing what they can to stay competitive, and accordingly are doing everything in their power to become an authority on all things VoIP. This makes it essential for you to not only look at how long a VoIP reseller has been reselling VoIP services, but also how much they really know about this specialty communication niche.
Newer VoIP resellers may offer you a better price due to their wanting to get your business.
2. Costs. Even though you may find a VoIP reseller who’s promoting their VoIP related services at very affordable prices, it’s necessary for you to ask about any hidden fees that may come up later. This could include additional expenses like licensing fees, additional support fees, and even usage fees. Also be sure to check and make sure that there aren’t any additional fees for making any phone calls outside of the network, as this should really be included in any unlimited calling plan.
Keep in mind that (for the most part) the longer your VoIP contract is, the more money you’re going to save long-term.
3. Speed. What’s one of the most important things business owners want these days when it comes to efficient communication? They want their communications to be fast! In fact, more and more emphasis is being put on WebRTC (Web Real Time Communications) because instant communication is becoming more and more important in today’s highly competitive world of business. Because VoIP technology uses the internet to connect with others, it’s essential that the bandwidth given by your VoIP provider supports this instant interaction. Make sure the potential VoIP reseller understands your need for speed, and ask them to explain current bandwidth options in order to make sure that you’re indeed getting the best deal for your money.
We all know that time is money, making it essential for every business owner to get the most amount of bandwidth for their dollar.
