It is no secret that communication is key to survival for small business. The advantage to small busineses of using a VoIP solution is that the market is very competitive. While there are relatively few companies from which to choose for normal phone service, many VoIP providers will gladly offer VoIP phone service at a very competitive rate and with unlimited long distance.But....you need to do your homework first.Phone service features indispensable to your business, such as voicemail, conferencing and call waiting, allow business to flow smoothly and efficiently. So....how do you decide if a VoIP solution is best for your business?One of the first steps when analyzing your current service is to decide what features your business needs. Does it need multiple lines to accommodate the sales force? What about a toll free number for customer service? Make a list of all the features your office uses and think about others you might want to try.The next step is to make an estimate of all intrastate (in- state), interstate (state-to-state) and international calls. An easy way to estimate these numbers is to view a recent phone bill. You might be surprised at how large or small your call volume actually is. If you rely heavily on fax machines, consider the number of incoming and outgoing faxes. As you review these numbers, remember to consult growth projections for the rest of the year.Once you've done all this...you're ready to go comparison shopping.Here's some resources to help you do that:* VoIP Comparison ReviewsVoIPReview does a good job comparing feature sets from each of the providers.

How Much Inventory Should I Import When I Start Out?
Before you order your first batch of inventory from the supplier, some of that inventory should already have been pre-sold, i.e. you have a written and signed order from your customers or retailers already. When you have cartons of products crossing the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, those importers who already have buyers and signed contracts for those products sleep a lot better than those who will have to look for buyers when the shipment arrives.But what exactly should that number be? Should 100% of it have been pre-sold? Or should it be 50% or even 25%? If you have too much uncommitted inventory sitting on shelves, it will not just tie up your cashflow but cost you mental stress and anxiety as well. If you don't have enough ready inventory on your shelves, you may not be able to fulfill new orders in a timely fashion. So what is a good balance?There's no one-size-fit-all answer. It depends on a number of factors. By considering the five factors I listed below, you will increase your chance for success.Factor #1. Cost of goods. I import Bali Sandals and sell them between $25 to $39. The cost of each pair of sandals to me is between $4 and $5. So, even if I only sell off 50% of my inventory, I make a profit. In other words, if your cost of goods is very low compared to selling price, you'll be ok with a lower pre-sold percentage. If your cost of goods is higher, you may want to have pre-sold a large percentage before you actually ship the inventory to the U.S.Factor #2. Ease/difficulty locating buyers. As you pound the pavement to get your initial orders before you actually import your inventory, you get an idea how easy or how difficult it is to find buyers for your products. For example, I took my Bali Sandals to 10

Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying” she said. “One can’t believe impossible things”.
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice”, said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
