So many customers call us saying they just want a cheap telephone system<\/strong>?\u00a0 But the real question is what does that mean?\u00a0 Are they after the latest state of the art solution at a discounted price, or just a cheap phone system that costs them as little as possible?<\/p>\n

Be very clear that they are two very different things.\u00a0 With office phone system solutions the one truism is you get what you pay for.\u00a0 Say customer 1 bought a 4 handset solution second hand (that’s the best way to get a “cheap phone system”).\u00a0 They would pay anywhere from $800-1600 depending on the age of the system.\u00a0 But in this example the customer wants the “cheapest” so they pay $800.\u00a0 Now customer number 2 buys a new phone system and does a “deal”.\u00a0 They might end up paying about $2500-3500 fully installed depending on the brand.<\/p>\n

It’s a big difference $1000 vs. $2500 isn’t it.\u00a0 However the solutions the two customers end up with are worlds apart.\u00a0 You don’t expect to buy a second hand old car and get Ferrari performance.\u00a0 However customers simply aren’t aware of what technology can do for them<\/strong>.\u00a0 Many customers that settle on a cheap phone system are actually doing themselves a massive disservice that costs them serious money in the short and long term.<\/p>\n

Let’s dig a little deeper.\u00a0 If customer 1’s\u00a0 requirements are very, very basic (after knowing all the technology available) then that $700 system could be perfect.\u00a0 The only caveat here is as long as phone system spare parts remain available to them for as long as their cheap phone system is required to operate.<\/p>\n

But what if they were informed about technology like:<\/p>\n
