Copied from RB: By: bighufff Reply To: None Wednesday, 21 Jul 1999 at 12:10 AM EDT Post # of 6742 SHCC THE WAY IT IS. by BIGHUFFF OK EVERYONE GATHER ROUND HERE WE GO. 1. Is August 15 still the target date of the launch of the Saratoga/Qwest website to the 7 start up target markets? . Yes, Ausust 15 is still the target date for the launch of the website. It will be launched in conjunction with the www.talkcheap.com website which is up and running Also, traditional methods of marketing will be used to promote the product and the website. For example, newspaper articles, radio and television advertisments, and billboards. 2. What is the target amount of time it will take until the 7 target markets begin to show positive revenue? . August 99 which will co-inside with the launch of the website. . 3. What does the "high level" techinal support entail as it relates to SHCC and its future? . Key marketing personel, updated technologies, and a new approach to the business of marketing pre paid phone cards. . 4. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE NEXT PRESS RELEASE? . Next week . 5. What is the latest with Qwest? . The contract is signed. The deal is done. All parties are working together right now. * Here is where it gets interesting ** Qwest approached Saratoga (not vice-versa) Qwest GAVE (as in free) SHCC $ 90,000 in software in which to build the websiteand GAVE (as in free) SHCC the $ 10,000 in licensing contracts that will allow SHCC to start up the international campaign for the pre paid phone cards. Thistype of technology in this finished format is worth much much more than the combined $ 100,000 that QWEST. SHCC is a very fortunate company to have a Goliathsuch as QWEST working with them. In the telecommunications/Long Distance business this type of partnership is unheard of.. . 6. Is the Eclipse Energy deal dead? . The word dead is so final. The partnerships concerning the Eclipse Deal are not a priority at this time. The priority of the SHCC company right now is the telecommunications industry with QWEST. The margin of profit is so much more that the company cannot afford to focus on them right now. The peterolum interests of the company (formerely WOTD) are still in place but no new acquisitions are in the works. There again, all resources are being utilized towards the prepaid phone cards. . 7. Exactly how does this new facet of the company operate? . The PROFITABILITY of SHCC will come in a 3 fold manner. (1) SHCC will maintain the companies from previous acquisitions and of c ourse continue to sustain any profitability from these companies. (2) THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE : SHCC WILL AVOID HIGH TARRIFS from foriegn countries. How you ask? Simple, This will be cutting edge technology in place. For example, say you live in Boliva (where the internet is exploding right now) and you want to buy a prepaid phone card at the local market..you would pay the high tariff along with any other taxes plus the cost of the actual minutes used and the mark up for profitability by the company issuing the phone card.Think about all those charges plus the overhead of making the card (the raw material of plastic and the packaging, shipping, bricks and morter shelf space etc etc etc ) Now HERE IS WHERE SHCC/QWEST SHINE: Through an integregated and aggressive marketing campaign SHCC will sell their prepaid phone service via internet and ELIMINATE THE FOLLOWING COSTS: Tarriffs (huge savings) Packaging Costs Shelf Space against competition Raw material of actually making a plastic card . The way it will work is you order the pre paid time via internet and pay a substancially lower price because instead of the customer actually recieving a plastic card in packaging with tarriffs .. the customer will recieve a pin number via email ( no overhead, no raw materials, espically NO TARRIFFS) NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER CAN GET THE PIN IMMEADIATELY No more waiting around for the mail or going to the store. This is definately the future of pre paid services. The customer only pays for the service they want.. they don't pay for all the other costs associated with the product. Do you understand why I am so excited now !!! This is where this business industry is going and SHCC/QWEST seem to have all the answers way before the rest of the industry. For goodness sakes we are talking about QWEST people !! I will repost this from time to time. I worked very hard on this post and I may not have any new information for a few days. I figure you all can drool over this bag of goodies for a few days. I will be on vacation for a few days ... please refer any questions to Roslin (she is the best) assuming her Mom is doing better.. Stay tuned.. BIGHUFFF
