Some businesses that want to reap the many advantages of switching from a conventional landline telephone to a cloud telephone system — such as saving thousands of dollars a year, connecting their remote workforce, seamless scalability, business continuity, and the list of goes on — are nevertheless hesitant to do so, because they fear that audio quality will suffer. This perception is understandable. Oversubscribed VoIP services like Skype and Google Voice are notorious for static, echo and dropped calls. There are just too many users.

The year was 1991. The nation’s movie lovers flocked to see Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear (and after demanding their money back, took in The Silence of the Lambs).

And something else happened in 1991 that changed, well, everything:...

While strategic marketing and advertising are effective ways of reaching new customers, nothing is as powerful or profitable as good, ol’ fashioned word-of-mouth referrals. Consider these eye-opening statistics: Customers acquired through word-of-mouth referrals have a 37% higher retention rate vs. non-referrals.
