Brand new content going live this week! So after a few months of hectic writing The SIP school is pleased to roll out its latest updates to the SSCA® SIP training program. There are the usual changes due to the ever evolving nature of SIP but most notably this time around is a brand new module on SIP and Fax over IP and quite a revamp of SIP trunking, which of course is the one thing everyone talks about in the industry. Full update details can be found at this link http://cetisgroup.thesipschool.com/newcontent.html We felt that a module on SIP and Fax over IP was much needed as people are finding that the service works well, badly or not at all and as Fax just doesn’t seem to want to go away then it’s got to be made to work over SIP trunks. The module teaches the basics of faxing, the transition to Fax over IP, the main FoIP protocols available and then heads off into troubleshooting and testing. We hope that this module proves a hit and enables people to cope with this old technology running over brand new links. SIP trunking has also been updated quite a bit with the inclusion of an ITSP checklist. This list is designed to be a guide for people who are looking to sign up for SIP trunking services but are not sure how to start and what questions to ask. It’s not an exhaustive list but we think it’s a good ‘stake in the ground’. Anyone who uses the list and wants to offer suggestions for improvement will be helping everyone out as again, we’ll keep it updated.

Learn how to Market and Sell ‘SIP Trunking’.
The SIP School, in conjunction with Maloff NetResults, today announces the general availability of a new on-line and interactive training program entitled “SIP Trunking for the Sales and Marketing Professional.” This three-module course is designed to provide critical information needed by both marketing organizations and sales personnel serving this burgeoning global marketplace. Jointly developed with Joel Maloff, principal consultant of Maloff NetResults, this new course from The SIP School compliments existing programs but rather than focusing on the technical details, emphasizes an understanding of the rapidly evolving SIP trunking service provider marketplace, marketing considerations such as competitive analysis, pricing and packaging, and product differentiation, and specific sales strategies and tactics. “Having worked with sales agents, marketing professionals, and value-added resellers, I have found no other ready-to-go training program that assists in understanding and successfully selling SIP trunking services, “ said Maloff. “We have created this course with the sales and marketing person in mind.” The three modules consist of The SIP Trunking Marketplace, SIP Trunking Service Development and Management, and Selling SIP Trunking Services. One of the highlights of the third module is a SIP trunking cost justification template that has been created both as an example and as a model for use in actual cases. Graham Francis, CEO of The SIP School said “we are extremely excited to be working with Maloff NetResults as their experience has enabled us to bring to the market a training course that is completely unique as no other course like this exists. I also think that the cost justification template is a great tool that will help the sales person show actual savings that SIP trunks can bring rather than picking a figure out of the air which I believe a lot of people do which can be misleading”. Explaining the STCA™ certification, Graham also said “becoming a SIP Trunking Certified Advocate can prove to employers and clients that you understand how SIP trunking has become so important an alternative to traditional business lines“. To gain access to the course, people will need to visit The SIP School’s main site at http://www.thesipschool.com and click on the ‘Course Catalog’. Here they will see the list of courses available and be able to make the appropriate purchase.
