[Asterisk-biz] Referrals's

[Olivier Krief]

Hello Dovid,

Two weeks ago or so, I posted a message asking readers to share success 
stories.
I didn't get much replies (1 only).
IMHO, the reason behind that is that most readers businesses use Asterisk as 
a cheap and efficient technology to produce IP Telephony Services.
In this case, customers don't involve themselves in technology choises. They 
might think something like "the provider won't be fool enough to run its 
business on technologies that don't run. The price is fair, I can give a 
try".

As you seem to target enterprise as a system integrator, you get into a very 
different situation in which showing happy Asterisk enterprise customers is 
a requirement.
"What if the system fails ? I would to explain why I took such a risk."

>From my point of view, at least 80% of this list readers are IP Telephony 
Service Provider, not System Integrators.

Regards
