What's the configuration of $3407.30 server, or is it two servers? And
isn't $300 good enough to buy good IP phones?

OK...

30 ext * $300 (labor and cheap phones) = $9000
2 * $700 POE Switches = $1400
1 *  $3407.30 Server  = $3407.30
2 * $800 UPS = $1600
20 * $100 labor = $2000

$17,407 or less than half of a nortel system cost from your favorite
teleco.

Steak Dinners can replace billable hours if they fit into the
schedule... :)

I might work for as little as $50 an hour if the customer buys a

prepaid

block of 40 hours at a time.

However, the point of my reply to the OP is that I start charging as
soon as I start working. That includes going over his inadequate
description of the work needed. Some people think I am arrogant

because

I don't do free evaluations. My standard "sales proposal" is rather

simple:

Ad hoc time - $N per hour(subject to credit approval)
Prepaid block of X hours at Y per hour.

Some prospects find this to be too arrogant but it filters out the

ones

who are wasting my time.

I should mention that I don't charge people for calls or meetings

where

I discuss my qualifications. I might even give them some free general
advice, especially if they are buying me a good lunch.

$50 an hour? What country? Not the US that's for sure.

Minimum you could get a decent phone guy is $75ish.

FWIW I'm $100 an hour if the customer inists on hourly. I'd rather
quote  the price for the finished job.

Hi,

How much it costs to have somebody setup an Asterisk server, for

let

say
15 extensions in one office, 15 in another, and make a good IVR

menu

with call recording, queuing and other features? Also if needed,

to

setup web interfaces to access recordings and other features using

a

web
browser?
