Clear Voice offers new rates, awards resellers at annual 2011 conference

Once again Clear Voice is offering further relief from recessionary pressure; Clear Voice not only dropped its rates on 1 March 2011, but will do so again on 1 July 2011!

We are starting to see the beginning of the change that everyone is talking about in the VOIP industry. It means some creative thinking and new business processes that are now part of the Clear Voice product complement.

Clear Voice recently hosted the Annual Resellers 2011 Conference at the beautiful Erinvale Estate, in Somerset West. The overwhelming turnout of resellers from all over South Africa showed positivity in the market that belied the current recession.

The Clear Voice Conference took the resellers by storm, with the launch of several new products to the Clear Voice product range.

Along with the newly announced equipment that was launched, Clear Voice is now offering a new service product in rentals. The rental option will accommodate installation of equipment on a rent basis. This is not only a first for Clear Voice, but it will fill a much-needed gap in the market. It eliminates the need for financing options, which previously was the only other avenue available besides cash. With the rental option, one has a 12-month contract enabling the use of VOIP without the high cost.

And that's not all; part of the Hosted PBX offerings now includes voice recording available at a very reasonable cost; no longer expect a high-end price to install voice logging equipment, something every call centre has been waiting to hear.

Further products and services coming soon:

* Microsoft OCS integration
* Online PBX console
* Mobile VOIP Client - WiFi/Hosted PBX integration
* Unified communications
* Hosted call centre solutions

We will find the South African VOIP industry following the US trend, in that 30% of businesses in 2009 of all telecommunication links were through VOIP; this number is expected to rise to 80% by 2013.

This is good news for our resellers, as this means that VOIP is replacing TDM almost completely, so we can look forward to huge growth potential. To quote Frost & Sullivan in 2010: “The South African unified communications market is in an early stage of development, signifying a strong growth potential for vendors, system integrators and service providers.”

Reseller awards:

The Reseller Conference honoured outstanding achievement in growth to its top resellers for 2011, with awards given to those resellers with the highest number of minutes. A further award was made acknowledging overall achievement, for an exceptional reseller for reaching out to the most new clients this year.

Clear Voice congratulated this upbeat and positive reseller network on exceptional performance.

Besides the seriousness of the conference, and the excitement and pride with which the top resellers accepted their awards, there was also fun and games to be had by all. A relaxed and entertaining evening was enjoyed by everyone.

To further encourage and ensure another highly successful year for 2012, Clear Voice rolled out the new incentive for resellers.

Qualifying resellers are those who achieve 20% growth, and have a turnover of 100 000 minutes per month. The winner takes all in a trip for two to spectacular Zanzibar; a holiday of a lifetime at Sandies Neptune Pwani Beach, one of the best beaches in East Africa, with breathtaking vistas over the exquisite Indian Ocean.

Moving forward:
Clear Voice maintains its motto of changing the rules ... setting the standards. The right choice, first time.
