You will reap what you sow. A consortium member just trying to get a discount on hardware, unless moving a good deal of hardware, will be terminated from the consortium. If you are moving a good deal of hardware, you will be helping others in the consortium, so you can stay, but don't expect leads unless you are giving them out. I actually setup seven privately owned self storage companies like this, so I know a bit about stumbling blocks, and other challenges, as well as the fact that when these small self storage companies were represented as a single, much larger entity, their sales skyrocketed. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) _______________________________________________ --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
