style='font-size:12.0pt'>In thinking about the consultant/manufacturer
relationship, I could see a better win/win program that would be beneficial to
all. <br>
<br>
1.) Consultant create relationship with client and sells the client on using
Fonality (as an example) for equipment <br>
2.) Fonality provides a discounted price for the equipment to the
consultant/reseller<br>
3.) Consultant/reseller pays support fee to Fonality to provide Tier 2 support
(and at some point either pay for more support or pay per incident fee) <br>
4.) Consultant provides Tier 1 support to client and continues to foster and
maintain relationship with client.<br>
5.) Any future equipment is purchased though Fonality and the profile is
updated with the additional equipment and the client with pay for support of
the new equipment. <br>
<br>
Across the board everyone benefits... I think that most consultants provide
other services beyond telephony systems, and it is important to not lose the
relationship built, bt instead be able to provide all needed services and allow
the consultant to remain the single point of contact. <br>
<br>
Just passing thoughts!<br>

I agree whole heartedly about the short sightedness of Fonality. There is
something wrong with the equation when there is no longevity for the consultant
to bring clients into the Fonality (and as I look at over companies, the same
hold true) fold. I think that the only way to be successful is the form some
partnership with one of the of the plethora of PC stores in the area, and a
relationship ship with a VOIP equipment provider, and go forward from there. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
