Objection #1: We can’t have all our services on the same connection because we can’t be down!Step
Acknowledge “Making sure that you have services available is certainly important”
Ask “What kind of redundancy do you have built into your current voice service?”
Address “Well – our solution is actually more redundant and less impacted by an outage than your current PBX. Because it is cloud based, many of your voice services are never down. We can assist you with setting up Call Forwarding Not Reachable so everyone can receive calls even if your Internet connection is down. Also – your Auto Attendant will never be down – so customer can always reach that greeting. In fact that is one of the most significant benefits of a hosted solution”
Advance “Does that address your concern? The redundant nature of hosted voice has been a source of peace of mind for many of our existing customers.”
Confidential and Proprietary. Subject to Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Objection #2: Do you have a Trial Period? Can We get a Month to Month Contract?
Step
Acknowledge “Making sure the solution is right before committing to a long term contract is something many businesses do.”
Ask “What would you evaluate during this trial period that would help you be comfortable signing a contract?”
Address The “address” in this situation depends on their answer to the “Ask”. If they’re concerned with call quality do a demo call and talk about QoS, if they’re concerned with ease of use of the phones send them the “demo kit”, if they’re concerned about outages, share SLA information. As a LAST RESORT we DO have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
Advance “Can you see from our (SLAs, recent test call, whatever we did to ADDRESS) that signing a 3 year contract to obtain the corresponding discounts makes sense?”

Demos and Scenarios
Confidential and Proprietary. Subject to Non-Disclosure Agreement.
When to conduct a customer demo
1. Customer states it is a requirement before making a decision.
2. Your next meeting will include various types of users within the organization. They have asked for a presentation and demonstration.
Ask the customer what specifically they are looking to validate. Ensure you provide a demo that meets their needs.

When to conduct a customer demo
3. Based on conversation, you feel that providing a demo at the next meeting will help to land the deal. Cues:
4. Competition has provided demos and you know VIP will crush it!
“We had a bad experience with VoIP - we don’t know if the technology will even work.”
“Our current solution is complicated – I’d like to see if this is easier to use.”
“Our current system is very cumbersome to manage and only one resource even knows how to use it. Is this system easy to manage?”

Confidential and Proprietary. Subject to Non-Disclosure Agreement.
How to conduct a customer demo: VIP Presence for Desktop
1. Login to VIP Presence app on your computer.
2. Tell a story that relates to their business: FOR EXAMPLE:
“Mr. Customer, let’s say you are working on a design project with 3 other team members. You have a question about the images. You see that Joe is on the phone, so you send him a quick chat message. (send chat)
Joe replies that he is stuck on a conference call but needs to confirm some things with Kelli. You suggest they meet in your MyRoom for a group chat. (click MyRoom and drag Joe and Kelli into your MyRoom.)
To better communicate your questions on the images, you initiate a desktop sharing session. (click Desktop share).
Joe replies that he is off of his conference call and can talk, so you escalate the chat to a call and tell Joe and Sue to call your Room. (Click the Call button to initiate the audio bridge).”
Demo elements you have accomplished with a simple story: Presence, Chat, Desktop Sharing,
and Audio Conferencing.
