Well, this I can tell you; the proper way to sell someone on an idea is not to present them with a circular feedback loop whose semantic template is basically, "If you don't already think it's a good idea, you do not command sufficient Vision nor possess the requisite Exclusivity to be part of it to begin with." Do you tell any customer that expresses the slightest bit of scepticism or presents compelling questions to address: "If the self-evident benefits of my Asterisk solution aren't obvious to you to begin with, you're not worthy enough to buy it?" > How long have you been doing Asterisk? How long have you been a > consultant? How many call centers have you setup successfully? How > many systems in the real world? This isn't the time or place for a pissing match of credentials. FWIW, my firm is not an Asterisk consultancy as such and does not set up call centers. Don't assume everyone operating in the same technology stack or broad vertical as you has the same business focus per se. > Qualify yourself as an expert before shooting down ideas. I'm not shooting it down, or saying it couldn't work. I just proposed what I see to be a likely problem and wondered as to your response. I didn't say that you don't have one or that the problem cannot be addressed or warrant that my identification of the problem is even accurate or applicable. I have no idea. I've never set up a Consortium. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (678) 237-1775 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
