32. 32 Increasing your VoiceLine Revenue
33. 33 Your VoiceLine Revenue As a VoiceLine reseller, you can profit from initial sales of hardware and calling time and also receive recurring revenue when your customers return to you to purchase more calling time. So, your revenues rise when your customers’ usage increases. Some of the ways to help increase your customers’ usage include:
Promoting VoiceLine’s fax feature
Promoting VoiceLine’s calling card functionality
Adding multiple telephone numbers to their account
Adding another calling line to an existing device
Providing additional hardware devices
34. 34 Faxing with VoiceLine VoiceLine enables your customers to send and receive low-cost faxes with the InnoMedia MTA XT 6328-2Re (telephone adapter with router).
Your customers can send and receive faxes with their existing plan – no additional activation or configuration is necessary. They simply connect a fax machine to a phone port on the InnoMedia MTA XT 6328-2Re that is associated with a calling plan.
35. 35 Calling Card Functionality VoiceLine customers can also use their account to place calling card calls. This enables them to make calls from any phone at low calling card rates, even when they are away from their VoiceLine device.
Residential customers can allow family members to make low-cost calls from any phone, anywhere, any time
Small businesses can recognize additional savings by enabling their off-site and traveling employees to place low-cost calls
36. 36 Adding Multiple Telephone Numbers By selling your customers more than one telephone number, you can add recurring revenue. Your customers can benefit as follows:
Residential Customers
Customers with friends and family in multiple cities can obtain a phone number in each of these area codes. Friends and family in each of these cities would then be calling a local number to contact them.
Small Businesses
By establishing a local presence in multiple locations, a company’s customers, business contacts and/or satellite offices in these locations can call a local telephone number to reach them.
Each additional phone number costs $5 (Austria, Canada, Estonia, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K., U.S.), $8 (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Denmark, El Salvador, Finland, France, Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, Slovenia, Spain), $10 (Bahrain, Hungary, Israel, Latvia) or $25 (Pakistan) per month and there is no limit to the amount of numbers a customer can have.
37. 37 Adding a Line Increase your customers’ call capacity by adding a line to the second port on their existing device. With a second line:
Another family member or neighbor in a residential setting can use the VoiceLine service at the same time
Two employees in a small business can place and receive simultaneous calls from the same device
Since multiple VoiceLine users in the same location may have different calling patterns, assigning a different plan to each line can maximize your customers’ savings while increasing your revenue.
38. 38 Adding Hardware Devices You can further increase your customers’ call capacity by providing them with additional devices. With more devices and more lines:
Multiple employees in a small business can place and receive simultaneous calls
More family members can use VoiceLine at the same time
In addition, by providing your Wi-Fi customers with a Samsung SMT-W6100 Wi-Fi Handset:
They will have more opportunities to use VoiceLine and save
Your VoiceLine revenue will rise as their usage increases
39. 39 VoiceLine vs. Vonage
40. 40 The VoiceLine Reseller Advantage As a VoiceLine reseller, you can profit:
From the initial sale of hardware and calling time
Again and again as your customers return to purchase additional calling time (recurring revenue)
To become a Vonage reseller, you must:
First become an affiliate. (Affiliates are only paid a one-time fee for signing-up customers – no recurring revenue)
Then, sign-up 500 customers in a twelve month period to become a reseller.
As you can see, VoiceLine enables you to profit more quickly and often.

45. 45 Overcoming Objections Although Net2Phone features many competitive advantages, you may face questions and potential objections during the sales process.
By understanding your customer’s needs and the benefits VoiceLine provides, you can effectively address their concerns. Here’s an example:
Why should I pay for a telephone adapter when Vonage offers one for free?
Vonage only ships hardware in the U.S., to those who have a credit card with a U.S. billing address. And, the only “free” device is a reconditioned Motorola adapter – the other devices are not free. So, if you live outside of the U.S. and receive the hardware from a third party, you may incur a charge. In addition, Vonage charges a number of fees (activation, cancellation, shipping, regulatory) that approach the cost of a telephone adapter.
