12 HOW DOES IPVDX DO IT IPVDX understands the growing a scalable company is hard, and that is why has based its business model around three key phases of operating a business. The Growth, the Delivery and the Support. At any given time IPVDX is in one of those three phases, which also identify the business choke points. Identifying those choke points helps us move through the phases; from Growth to Delivery, from Delivery to Support and from Support back to Growth. Think of a triangle, with each point representing one of the phases. The quicker a full revolution around the triangle the faster the company grows and that is IPVDXs goal. GROWTH ipvdx VoIP DELIVERY SUPPORT Growth Phase Is made up of any department or employee that deals with the growth of the organization, traditionally being the strategies, marketing and sales departments or staff. Delivery Phase is any department or employee that deals with the delivery of the service, those being engineers, developers or vendor-relations people. Support Phase or Operations Phase are the departments or employees that support the product delivery like a call/support center, billing, HR, legal and number porting employees. HOW DOES IPVDX MOVE FROM ONE PHASE TO THE NEXT? By spinning each phase, faster, and by keeping people accountable for each phase. For example, if we are in the Growth Phase, we look at the overall marketing strategy and we identify if its providing enough qualified leads to the sales department. Also the sales department may want to find ways to drive out waste therefore shortening the sales cycle. With that the choke point moves to the delivery team. As we will be filling our network and operations with customers the delivery team will need to augment the systems in order to handle the additional sales. As the delivery team delivers what was promised by sales, the choke point moves to the support team, which will come in the form of more billing questions and disputes, more call volume to the support center and an influx of submitted number ports to the porting department. As the support department will eventually scale up, then we move back to the Growth Team, completing one full cycle. 12

13 HOW WE CAN BEAT THE COMPETITION WITH THIS MODEL Lets see each phase separately to understand how it relates to the VoIP business and how can it be applied GROWTH PHASE As we have seen the Growth Phase is at the top of the triangle and without it nothing is delivered or supported. The phase starts with IPVDXs C.O.R.E. values and belief systems. What is C.O.R.E.? C stands for Cultivate, meaning to encourage and support a healthy life-balance O stands for Overcome, meaning to combine passion and perseverance to achieve success R stands for Respect, meaning to earn mutual trust and reliability E stands for Evolve, meaning to embrace the ability to adapt and innovate It is our belief that IPVDX is built and structured on these values with the end goal to help others take on the opportunity of VoIP trading. We base our decisions around those core values and beliefs, which include who we hire, what services we provide and how we treat each other, our stakeholders, customers and vendors. Foundation The foundation of any business is strategy. We identify a particular pain point in the market and find ways to solve that pain point. However have in mind that doing so is only part of the equation; most important is having a differentiation, meaning something that our competitors will have trouble replicating, much like the model we have built. Having all that the next step is to build marketing material that clearly state who we are, what we do and what makes us different. That to be effective has to be short, concise and to the point. Once those materials are ready we create the content we need in our industry, in order to promote our company and become an industry-trusted expert. Lastly in the Growth Phase is that the sales team understands the strategy, the target market of the service (VoIP). They need to be able to identify who to target, and that reduces the sales cycle significantly. 13

14 DELIVERY PHASE Now that we know what we are selling and who we are selling it to, the delivery team has to deliver what the marketing and the sales team have promised the customer. We don t want any unhappy customers. The delivery team must build and maintain a system that delivers the promised services. In the VoIP World those systems would include things like a data center, switch, underlying carriers, a billing system, and a customer Portal/Back Office. Companies fail at this point, not because the delivery team could not deliver, they fail because of poor strategy. Companies with poor or no strategies often target everyone in a particular market; they offer everything to everyone. This is called a commodity business and the only way to compete is on the price, not on the system or differentiator we have built that actually solves a real pain. An important fact is that 80% of a products value comes from 20% of the products features. This means that the delivery team should hyper-focus on delivering the 20% that gives the 80% of the products value. By allowing our teams to focus on the unimportant 80% and not the important 20%, we are allowing the team to built a mediocre service and a mediocre service are built by mediocre companies. SUPPORT PHASE The pressure now shifts to the support team, also called the operations team. These teams are the front-line troops, them being the closest people to our customer, which are made up of provisioning, number porting, technical support and billing. These departments touch the customer from sign-ups to invoicing and cash collection. Every step in between is an opportunity for us to look great or to look bad and it is just as easy to do either one. As we continue to scale, we will be tempted to throw people at the problems instead of building systems and processes to deal with the added support strain. We don t do that in IPVDX. We have an in-house development team to take on any issue and any innovation in software development so we are always going to be ahead in the game. We are all about Scaling Up. This methodology has given us more time to focus on growing the company while the support and delivery teams focus on their own pieces of the puzzle. As the VoIP industry changes rapidly we keep focus on those three phases, that help us meet these challenges head on and allow the company to grow and thrive. 14

Third Dimension Limited, founded in May 1997, is a media development business which develops web sites and provides other IT related services. In October 2001, they identified an opportunity to use their web site development skills to establish a web based marketing portal for the traders and brokers of new and used computer components and mobile phones. They recognized that CPU traders and HDD traders needed up-to-date information to facilitate their trades because, in such a dynamic market where profit levels were small, even the shortest delay between agreeing a purchase price and agreeing a selling price with a buyer could cause a change from profit to loss on the deal. The initial web site was and this became very successful. The idea was to provide a one-stop shop for large volume traders, so they could advertise their services and post either their stock availability or stock requirements on the trading board. The web site included an area for news and related services such as inspection, freight forwarders, banks, solicitors, phone services, insurance, corporate entertainment, credit checking, federations, security, due diligence experts, retail, trade fairs and links to important web sites such as HMRC and Immobilize. Advertisers pay a subscription fee to be featured on the web site. Once the web site had become established, and as a result of the growth in the mobile phone trading market, they launched an additional web site specifically for mobile phones in August Additional domain names were purchased to establish a more memorable brand. These were and In 2005, they launched an additional web site to cater for traders of Consumer Electronics like LCD TV, LED TV, Games Consoles, IPods, Cameras, Printers and more - IGT. 17
