Internet Fax Alert: How To Make Money in Fax Over IP... or: Why ISPs are Failing and What You Should Do To Profit
Business Editors
VORHEES, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 1998-- Just in time for the holidays, a road map for successfully selling point to point and enhanced fax services. Market researchers agree, in the next decade, billions of dollars in fax transmission revenue will shift from traditional carriers, CLECs and PTTs worldwide to Next Generation Telcos, Internet Fax Service Bureaus and ISPs. "The problem is, these organizations have no experience selling fax, and are therefore failing," explains Maury Kauffman, managing partner of The Kauffman Group, an enhanced fax technology and services consulting firm. According to IDC, this year's global bill for fax transmissions will be $83 billion, growing to $90 billion by the year 2000. "The world is sending more and more faxes every year and the advent of email and the Internet has only increased fax's growth," remarks Kauffman. "Clearly, we are moving to a Fax Over IP world, initially for the cost savings made available by tariff arbitrage and eventually, due to the enhanced features and services FoIP permits." The How To Make Money in Fax Over IP Report examines: 1) The traditional enhanced fax service bureau industry and history; 2) The trend toward Fax Over IP; 3) The current state of the Fax Over IP industry: Who's Doing What With Whom; 4) What you need to understand, to do and NOT to do, with emphasis on sales and marketing strategies and techniques, to sell fax successfully and profitably. Kauffman declares: "This report begins with the basics and history, so you won't reinvent the wheel. It then drills all the way down to discuss what users want and provides examples of successes and failures. Concise and to-the-point, gleamed from my eight years of experience of personally selling and advising on selling fax services." Not a market research report: "You will NOT find any numbers or projections," demanded Kauffman, "I'm writing this report specifically to teach how and what to do and, more specifically, what NOT to do. I'm tired of seeing companies fail at selling fax, it's retarding the entire global fax industry."
