Almost three decades in this industry has enabled me to develop what I call ‘brilliantly simple’ phone systems. These solutions will make communications and collaboration second nature for your workforce. And of course they save you big dollars in ongoing phone costs… another reason why they are brilliant!
When it comes to telephony technology, I’ve found that many telephone system vendors tend not to spend the time to better understand the needs of each business, trying to sell the product with the latest buzz words to confuse the potential client. It’s not uncommon for inexperienced staff to stretch the truth when it comes to what their telephone systems can do.
I put this document together to help people become aware of the type of buyer they are so their business needs and future options (and pitfalls) are correctly matched with the ideal telephone system.
I’ve been able to piece all of this together because for the better part of my career I’ve installed, maintained and sold Telephone Systems. This has also allowed me to provide sound advice from ‘Feet on the street practical experience. The aim has always been to achieve the best solution and value for money for my clients.
