Hi,
As part of developing a marketing strategy I'm trying to establish who
typically buys an asterisk based pbx and their primary reason for doing
so.

I realise there could be a wide range of answers given the variables
such as type of product, market location, features on offer, price etc
but I was wondering in general terms whether the following list sounds
reasonable
* Companies involved in an office move (new and established companies) -
(30-40% of sales ?)
* Companies migrating from an existing pbx (20-30% of sales ?)
* Companies growing and need a pbx for the first team (10-15% ?)
* Companies buying because of a particular feature or features (10% ?)
* Companies buying because of the promise of cheaper/free calls (10% ?)
* Companies wanting to link up multiple offices (10%?)
% like these can be misleading unless your research sample size is robust enough to represent the actual market size you are researching.
Most of the above is derived from complete guesswork, conversations and
books/magazines etc and so it may seem impertinent that I have even
tried to break it down in such precise terms but I thought it better to
pose the question this way rather than simply asking who buys these
things and by what percentage
