Voip Lowers Business Costs

Many companies are saving hundreds a month with VoIP PC telephone connections. The net is full of testimonials, but few offer solid evidence of the effectiveness of VoIP, Coppel has offered solid proof.

Coppel reaped significant savings in office-to-office telecommunications costs while improving business performance by removing the cost disincentives for its employees to pick up the phone and call each other.

With Binnacle companys support, Coppel implemented a staged roll-out of Quintum's switches and gateways. In one year they had VoIP service running and saved $1,000,000.

It has been a great experience for us to be involved in a project of this magnitude with such an important customer in the Mexican market, says Abdul Mustaffa, founder and President of Binnacle. Binnacle's engineering team and Quintums technical service department worked side by side to satisfy Coppel's requirements for this project.

"Our investment Quintum's VoIP technology and Binnacle's services has been a wise one," says Sergio Trias, chief of IT and Communications support department of Coppel. "By leveraging our IP network to carry inter-office voice traffic, we have improved our ability to serve our customers, reduce our overhead, and laid the groundwork for a new generation of applications that will provide us with further competitive advantages in a rapidly evolving retail market."

Coppel is an excellent demonstration of how the retail industry is embracing Quintums VoIP technology for its ease of installation with stores existing networks, as well as its ability to integrate easily with newer IP PBX infrastructures, said Charles Rutledge, Vice President of Marketing for Quintum. Tenors provide cost effective communication between stores while providing a clean migration path to an IP telephony network.

Large business is not the only type of company that works better with VoIP services. Enspiren Press, a book publisher in the USA/Canada, has used VoIP to reduce the time needed to take a book from acceptance to production from one year to six months. Releasing their product in three months less not only equals more money, but increasing communication has made it easier to retain both authors and lients.

Enspiren Press is a large network of print promotion and networking meshed with a large IT department that promotes their books primarily in Canada, UK, USA, and China. VoIP has quickly become a vital part of their IT department, joining programmers from around the country.

Enspiren Press has accredited VoIP and P2P for disbanding their office, implementing work at home professionals, and dropping their bottom line, saving approximately $7 10 000 USD a month, without sacrificing consumer relations or effectiveness.

Most companies have 10 - 20 requirements for the VoIP system, including flexibility, security, reliability, ease of use and quality of service. It takes several months, running vendors through exhaustive tests, including security protocols, before a company can choose the best company for their needs.

One of the most important aspects of a VoIP system is the hardware according to CEO at Enspiren Press. Their first VoIP had excellent customer service, and IT assistance, but the low quality difficult to service- hardware brought the entire system to a stand still on several occasions.

The Best Part Of Any Executive Coach's Day

Without doubt, for me at least, the most rewarding moment in an executive coachs day is when a client has a powerful realization and suddenly gains insights about how to be better.

This can happen in one of two ways:

1. You ask some great open-ended questions (via what we call inquiry) so that the client has an insight on their own.

2. You make an observation and the client sees new possibilities.

When this happens, the entire premise of executive coaching is realized. That is, you can have short, high-impact meetings with executives without intrusive consulting projects and generate incredible value.

For instance, the other day I was working with a long-time client of mine to help him improve the performance of a new business unit. As I asked him questions, he realized that he was not holding his team accountable for the performance he wanted them to achieve. He immediately saw opportunities to engage his team more effectively and focus them on the activities that would generate the best results.

Once he had this insight, I could see his entire demeanor change. He was more relaxed and confident. To borrow the old cliche, he seemed like a weight had been lifted.

Similarly, I was coaching the owner of a million-dollar consulting firm about how to grow his firm and use his time more effectively. He shared his reluctance to pay any kind of commission to his contractor/consultants for bringing in additional clients.

"This is my business, and frankly I don't need more work. I just don't see why my contractors should get anything when they are piggy backing off my intellectual property."

I suggested that perhaps he should think about his business 180 degrees differently. Rather than being stingy, what if he could generate lots of referrals through his own contractor/ consultants, and pay them handsomely for their contribution? That way he could grow his firm while his own people did more of the marketing work, and receive large additional revenues through leverage.

To the reader, this observation may seem obvious, but for my client, his entire view of his company shifted. (Note that the person being coached is always the last to "get it" and that it is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback).

"Wow," he said. "I've been thinking about things backwards!"

Theres no better feeling for the client or for the executive coach.
