Bob,<br><br>I second that. A good real world example: Speakeasy. Do I have a problem paying $120/month for a 6Mb/1Mb DSL connection? Not when it's reliable and I can reach a compentant person in minutes where there is a problem. Value wins over cheap in most cases, and the cases where it doesn't are cases you rarely want to visit.

<div><div>Here here. I am finding that Asterisk integrators lead with the whole "It's Cheaper" value proposition. we should all be protecting our profits by leading with "It does all this great stuff and look how it will benefit employee productivity and look how it enhances client experiences and guess what, it's the SAME price". Yes, the SAME. Not CHEAPER. We can all make a ton of money here if we all stick to selling features and value not just CHEAP. News Flash: "People will buy value over CHEAP" if you explain it. Let's all protect this great market. We built a Cisco IP Telephony integration boutique that did 18 million it's final year before the acquisition. We are positioning our open source based PBX appliance as a competitor to Cisco in small business. Yes we sell it for less. But not that much less and people are happy to pay. We all win if we keep this market healthy.
