The Great Opportunity For VoIP Resellers
VOIP technology provides the customer with an exciting
opportunity to experience low priced telephone service.
Subscribers to VOIP services have a bevy of options from which
they can choose. The ability to subscribe to VOIP is dependent
on the customer having a reliable broadband Internet connection,
and will require the customer to either purchase a few new
pieces of equipment or software that will enable VOIP to work
from the home computer. Customers can choose to use a specially
equipped microphone hooked up to the computer, making the
experience like that of a speakerphone. The customer can use his
or her home telephone with the service, if he or she purchases
an analog telephone adapter that converts the analog audio into
digital data. They can also buy an IP phone that is plugs
directly into the computer and is ready for immediate use. There
is also a wireless option, and VOIP cell phones are beginning to
make an appearance on the market. It's important for the
customer to be aware that VOIP phone service isn't that
dissimilar to traditional telephone service, except that the
cabling has changed. Once the customer has the necessary
equipment for VOIP, he or she then needs to search for a
reliable, affordable, and dependable service provider. This is
where the VOIP reseller can step in. A VOIP reseller has an
opportunity to provide affordable phone service to customers
beyond the startup costs, while at the same time getting in on a
potential technology and business boom.
A VOIP reseller does just that, he or she resells minutes to
VOIP customers that have been purchased from a VOIP provider.
These resold minutes are marked up to allow the VOIP reseller a
reasonable profit. The reseller becomes the liaison between the
service provider and the customer, providing customer service
and resolving issues. It is important to note that for anyone
interested in becoming a VOIP reseller, there is often a
considerable investment in the beginning. A new reseller will
have to purchase software and equipment that will enable his or
her to provide service to his or her customers. However, there
are services available for the potential reseller that provide
their own gateways and servers while giving him or her the
opportunity to be their own business owner without the expensive
startup costs. These firms provide software that make it
possible for a VOIP reseller to establish and maintain a set
customer base. Customers can access their accounts, contact the
reseller with issues or questions, and view their bills. These
firms also help to alleviate the big startup cost by offering
not only their servers and gateways, but also billing systems
that would normally cost a hefty sum to purchase. All of this is
offered in a secured interface.
VOIP is primed to take the place of the traditional telephone
system. There are tremendous moneymaking opportunities to be
sought for someone that is good at marketing and selling a
product. There are opportunities to provide service and support
to customers while being self-employed. For a VOIP reseller, the
opportunities are tremendous.
