| FacetPhone
was developed specifically with our FacetCorp resellers in mind. We are
also anxious to work with new resellers with networking and/or telephony
expertise. While we recognize that many of our existing resellers do not
have experience selling telephone systems, now is a great time to start,
and here is why:
* Please
note that FacetPhone is only available for delivery in the United States and Canada
at this time.
Why Sell FacetPhone?
New
and Exciting Technology:
FacetPhone
will give you something new and exciting to offer your customer! The
customer will see significant benefits from FacetPhone, such as significant
productivity increases through UNIX and Linux application integration,
long distance toll avoidance through branch office and telecommuter
integration, and better customer service and employee productivity through
use of the visual voice mail system.
Networking
Background:
FacetPhone
is a sophisticated business communications system. But fundamentally,
it is a networking application. FacetCorp has man-decades of experience
developing high quality networking applications. And for the most part,
FacetCorp's resellers have tremendous experience managing networks and
networking applications. The installation, setup and configuration of
FacetPhone is logical and easy.
Application
Integration:
Integrate
your UNIX, Linux or Windows software applications with FacetPhone through
UTAPI. Your product will be
more competitive and will provide significantly more customer benefits
if your customers can automatically send phone numbers to the IP-PBX
and retrieve callerID data into their database.
Customer
Relationship:
You are
far closer to your customers than is the traditional telephony sales
person. They may come around every few years to see about upgrade or
replacement opportunities. But you have an on-going, long term relationship
with accrued trust and confidence.
Value
Proposition:
FacetPhone
has a strong value proposition. First, the product is architected to
allow for a very competitive price structure. And the customer improvements
will more than offset
the cost of FacetPhone through such benefits as:
- Improved
customer service and competitiveness, and higher productivity by instantly
seeing the location and status of personnel through FacetPhone’s
Presence and Availability Management (PAM).
- Improved
customer service and productivity by being able to immediately identify
which account is calling based on the callerID information. FacetPhone
will automatically perform a "screen pop" of the proper
account for contacts kept in Outlook, Goldmine and ACT!. In addition,
with UTAPI and some minor program changes, "screen pops"
can be easily performed by Linux, UNIX and Windows applications.
- Increased
productivity by dialing contacts directly from the contact database.
- Better
customer service and higher productivity by providing a visual list
of voice mail messages and allowing the voice mail to optionally be
integrated with the user's email.
- Reduced
communications costs and higher employee productivity through FacetPhone's
branch office and telecommuter support.
- Increased
customer service and productivity by utilizing FacetPhone's Automatic
Call Distribution (ACD) call center features for in-bound calls.
- Higher
employee productivity and indirectly better customer service result
from the use of FacetPhone's Enterprise Instant Messaging.
- Lower
administration costs by putting all configuration changes into the
hands of the customer with a simple-to-use graphical user interface.
- Reduced
worries because FacetPhone is backed by the best customer service
and technical support in the business.
- More
reliable, scalable and cost effective system by employing a flexible
architecture with a Linux or UNIX based server.
Make
Your Product Offering More Competitive:
Independent
Software Vendors and resellers can easily modify their applications to
allow for dialing and retrieving
callerID data to make their solution more valuable and competitive. This can be used
for customer "screen pops," automatic dialing, and Interactive
Voice Response for detailed customer account queries.
UNIX
/ Linux Background:
FacetPhone
is supported on UNIX or Linux. Again, FacetCorp and our resellers generally
have significant experience with these reliable, scalable and flexible
server platforms.
Not
for Resale System:
As you
might expect, FacetCorp is offering our FacetPhone resellers an easy
way to get a FacetPhone system for your in-house use and/or demonstration
system. You simply pay for whatever components you need at the low
reseller price. Upon your first customer sale, FacetCorp will credit
your account for the FacetPhone software licenses you paid for your
NFR system up to the amount sold to your customer, whichever is less.
Sales
Leads:
FacetCorp
will be generating FacetPhone sales leads through the web and various
other marketing activities. As an Authorized FacetPhone Reseller, we
will send you appropriate sales leads for your geographic area.
Sales
Assistance:
FacetCorp
will train you on how to sell FacetPhone. Currently, this is done informally
on a one-on-one basis. In addition, FacetCorp will provide product information
and live demonstrations for you and your prospective customers. And we will
work with you to complete your prospect's quotation and proposal. In short
FacetCorp is your sales support team.
Opportunities
to Add Value:
With any
telephone system there are numerous opportunities for the reseller to
add value, and FacetPhone is no exception. So, in addition to the margin
opportunity with the FacetPhone software, here are some value-add possibilities:
- Integration
with your software application solution.
- Installation
service.
- Customization
services:
- Scripting
- IVRs
- Voice
prompts
Customers
Need Phones:
Remember
that some of your customers will be replacing their phone system each
year, and you might as well be the one to help them.
FacetCorp
Support:
Last but
not least, you are not alone! FacetPhone is backed by the best customer
service and technical support group in the business.
