VOIP Supply

 Benjamin Sayers, CEO of VOIPSUPPLY.COM says, "“We do a tremendous amount of education. That is the real difference. Other companies just want to sell you stuff. We get a lot of people in the early sales cycle, our guys are highly trained to offer the right solution.” VOIP Supply

VOIP Supply based on Sonwil Drive in Buffalo has made their niche by capitalizing on emerging markets while they are young and attracting early adopter customers before the technology goes main stream. Founder and CEO Benjamin Sayers creates a prototype product, hires a developer, proves it in the marketplace and creates a business around it. Sayers, a serial entrepreneur who dropped out of college to grow and sell his first company has proved himself time and again with his successful e-commerce platforms including Voipsupply.com, a leader in Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) solutions enabling his company to grow to over $25 million in sales in 4 years. Despite the economy, Voipsupply.com has grown consistently over the last 4 years winning numerous national awards including being named to the INC 5000 for three years in a row, Entrepreneur Magazine’s HOT 100, in 2008 they were named the best place to work in Western New York and in 2007 they were number six on the fastest Growing Company in WNYemploying 50 employees and offering value to their customers. “We do a tremendous amount of education. That is the real difference. Other companies just want to sell you stuff. We get a lot of people in the early sales cycle; our guys are highly trained to offer the right solution,” explained Sayers. Interestingly, Voipsupply.com has created a company culture that thrives, even in Western New York. “The last place I worked was terrible. I have always loved working. I want to have fun and everyone works better when it’s not a high pressure place. Work hard and play hard is kind of the deal,” said Sayers. In terms of developing further technology companies in our region Sayers says, “I don’t know if there are enough entrepreneurial leadership programs. I think people are afraid.” The solution, Sayers says, is adding more incubators and creating an environment where innovation thrives.
