VoIP Supply Celebrates Ten Years of Sales Success

VoIP Supply enters its second decade of successful business, reflecting on its most significant accomplishments and its vision for continued industry leadership.

Founded by Benjamin P. Sayers in 2002, Buffalo-based VoIP Supply has grown rapidly and continuously—adding revenue, profitability, and staff—with a sustained compound annual growth rate for the entire decade exceeding 20 percent. VoIP Supply's annual revenue in 2011 exceeded $21.5 million, double its 2005 annual revenue despite an industry-wide downturn in 2008-2009, supported by its staff of 36 full-time employees.

VoIP Supply delivers seven thousand product SKUs from 90 vendors, to more than its 120 thousand customers.

VoIP Supply attributes this sustained growth to its focus on providing value to its customers especially in vertical markets like telephony, video and voice-over-IP. By focusing on its core expertise, it delivers in-depth product understanding to its customers, with expert technical support for provisioning and installation. Unlike other web-based retailers, VoIP Supply has created its own category and has become the leading vertical-etailer, or v-tailer. By hiring right, their team members are experts in the entire range of products it offers. That expertise is one way VoIP Supply has become a value leader in ecommerce. By having a tight focus on vertical market sectors VoIP Supply successfully provides value to customers looking for products in the product and services verticals it now operates in.

"We treat our customers the way we want to be treated when we call in for advice or support. If I've got questions, I want to speak with someone who can answer my questions, our customers do as well," said VoIP Supply founder and CEO Benjamin P. Sayers. "That's what differentiates us from other suppliers. All of our people have real expertise in the products and services that we sell and support. Our customers can always reach someone who can help them."

VoIP Supply is the oldest and largest supplier for voice-over-IP products in North America. They are also the marketplace trendsetters; whenever VoIP Supply rolls out a program for resellers or service providers, other retailers attempt to mimic these programs.

"As we bring forward new technology and initiatives, VoIP Supply is with us every step of the way bringing innovation, passion, and forward thinking. They are an important Cisco partner and player in this industry," said Marty Kertman, Partner Development Manager, Cisco Systems Inc.

"VoIP Supply has been a tremendous partner for Grandstream over the last 10 Years," said David Li, CEO of Grandstream. "Their passion and dedication to the IP technology marketplace allows them to be very in-tune with market, which has given us invaluable insight over the years which has helped us significantly grow our business. Grandstream went into business just before VoIP Supply, and we have seen first-hand that their expertise, customer service, and customer resources provide outstanding value to our channel. We thank them for 10 years of a strong relationship and we look forward to a long future relationship with VoIP Supply."

In a December-2011 survey of more than 500 of its customers, VoIP Supply learned just how completely over-the-top it is appreciated by them:
  • 98% are likely or very likely to recommend VoIP Supply to colleagues or other businesses
  • 97% are likely or very likely to purchase from VoIP Supply again
