Hi Richard,

I initially tried $79 per month, but some test marketing showed me that it was too much. While I agree that it is still a small price for the value, I've met with better success at $49 per month. Perhaps I can look into upgrade features in the future (ala carte) to increase the monthly fees for some.

Oh, I understand now... also you may be able to pick up residual marketing business such as more comprehensive websites, brochures, logo designs, dvds etc. via establishing an entry level relationship with these clients??
* you mentioned that you are getting out of that, but if you get any referrals that you dont want to handle....send them to me and I will take care of the larger stuff and throw you a commission for the referral.
Seriously though, I dont want to tread on your turf but my guys are really top notch so anyone who wants to go deeper than you want to, send me a PM and we will make an financial arrangement if you want to
** Regarding your pay arrangement.... I think that sounds pretty good + it motivates the employee to go for that sale.
*** Regarding 1099s... I spoke to my accountant about this and she felt that anything that is regular payroll stuff should be handled with W2s. Thats just her take on the situations, but if you can get away with setting the employeee up as a contractor then go for it....! (maybe check with your accountant too though)
****Regarding VOIP, I use something called
www.voipyourlife.com Their prices are decent but the customer service is very good. The owner of the company even called me.
One thing to note, my call quality on VOIP is good but the problem is that the upload speed on my current Cable Modem line is pretty slow, which sometimes results in some feedback or echo problems.
My Cable provider recently switched to Time Warner, who has Road Runner service which is supposed to correct this.
So, the VOIP is also at the mercy of the internet providers speed... overall though, Im pretty pleased with Voip Your Life...
