IP Office Ltd. Grows Revenue for One Customer by £500,000 per Annum

(PRWEB) May 13, 2008 -- IP Office Ltd, a leading supplier of business communications solutions is aiming to change the way customers buy their VOIP (Voice over IP) telephone systems.

Richard Hill, a VOIP Sales Specialist with IP Office says, "For too long customers have had to try and make buying decisions for what in reality are key strategic business tools based on product information and price." He continues, "The trouble is, most people who are buying these systems are not Telecoms specialists and find it very hard to ‘cut through the technobabble’ and hence often make a less than optimal decision for their business."

Having recently attended a Strategic Selling course, laid on by their key principle, Avaya and run by ICDL-The Business Accelerators, Hill says, "This course opened my eyes to a whole new way of selling – showing the customer how our offering delivers real sustainable revenue growth to their business, instead of simply selling product or a ‘solution’."

The results speak for themselves. Within 4 weeks of attending the training, Hill took this new approach to a prospect; evidenced the business value he was able to deliver by showing the customer that by using the new system in an innovative way, they could add a minimum £500,000 pounds per annum of new revenue to their business.

Unsurprisingly, he won the deal – quickly and without competition! In a cut-throat, complex market, selling VOIP systems, a technology that customers’ often don’t understand, Hill has created real success, both for IP Office Ltd, but more importantly, for IP Office’s customers. Remove the technobabble and sell the business value. Hill and IP Office have seen the light – their customers are in for a far better buying experience and Avaya, who funded the programme, are delighted.

Hill says, "Following the training Avaya provided, I am hugely enthusiastic. I have won a significant piece of business within 4 weeks of the training and have already got additional meetings with senior decision makers in even bigger prospects as a result of my initial success. Thank you Avaya for providing this excellent training for your SMB channel partners."
