At Dial 9, we've recently surveyed 1,000 small UK businesses to better understand their communication needs and how we can support them in moving away from traditional phone systems to our more modern, cloud-based solution. Our survey discovered that 41% of small businesses were concerned that their lack of understanding of VoIP would be a barrier in the seamless transition from landline. Which is why we've decided to create series of blogs to help small businesses navigate this change and find the right VoIP solution for them. Check out the first blog of our series; VoIP Simplified: A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Technical Terms: https://lnkd.in/emzChq-W #VoIP #BusinessPhoneSolutions #Landline

Last day of the Kerv Group sales training, rolling out SIQ Selling and COIMPACT across their practices. The relationship started with Kerv Experience for Cloud CX when they were Foehn, helping them to bring their conversion ratio down from over 5:1 to 2.3:1. We kicked things off with the group at their January kick-off with some fun stuff - Growth Mondset (attempting to teach 55 people how to 3 ball juggle in 30 minutes) - A cross practice story telling competition to give added exposure to each practice’s propositions. Part of the objective is to give a common language across the practices to help support the cross-sell effort headed up by Nick Churchill-Evans. The challenge I enjoy with this type of project is to adapt the methodologies to be effective for the different markets and propositions the practices have. Today’s session is with Kerv Transform for Managed IT Services and Kerv Digital. Should be fun! #sales #salestraining #siqselling #coinpact #crosssell

If you rely on a landline, don't worry, you'll still be able to make calls using VoIP. No need to get a new phone or change your number. Learn more about the upcoming switch and how it may affect you: https://bit.ly/3JMTyZm #LandlineServices #UK #TechnologyTransition

Selling Your Business: How Long Will You Remain Involved Post-Sale? Curious about your role after selling your business? This article dives into the complexities of post-sale involvement, offering insights for a seamless transition. Here's what you'll learn: 🤝 Deal Structures Explore three main deal structures and their impact on your post-sale involvement, from fixed consideration to earn-out arrangements and retaining a shareholding. Understand the nuances of each to align with your post-sale goals effectively. 💼 Fixed Consideration Deals In deals where consideration is paid upfront or deferred, your involvement typically tapers during the hand-over period. Discover strategies to smoothly transition responsibilities and ensure buyer satisfaction, crucial for a successful deal closure. 💰 Earn-Out Arrangements Uncover the dynamics of earn-out deals, where your involvement post-completion is pivotal for maximising value. Learn how to navigate the earn-out period strategically to boost sales, retain clients, and foster a positive relationship with the buyer. 🤝 Retaining a Shareholding For sellers retaining a minority shareholding, explore the collaborative journey ahead. Understand the implications of maintaining a senior role within the company and how it aligns with your long-term objectives. 📈 Key Considerations Whether aiming for minimal involvement or eager to remain part of the company, gain clarity on negotiating deal terms that reflect your aspirations post-sale. Learn how to strike a balance between financial gains and ongoing participation in the business. #BusinessSale #PostSaleInvolvement #DealStructures
