I thought I had heard it all when it came to telecom. I have been doing this job long enough that I have seen probably ten thousand companies come and some go.VooDooVox however has a new twist on telephony and will now allow people on hold to listen to ad-supported news and sports scores.
In addition the technology allows radio stations to actually answer the thousands of many unanswered calls they can receive each day. You can now easily poll these callers and/or you can get personal information and build an e-mail list.
In short, VooDooVox has a great idea in taking inefficiency in the telecom space and eliminating it.
I know the question you are likely asking – Rich, do they have a prayer at being successful (pun intended).
Are they guaranteed to be successful – no. But the company could do well in a few niches in my opinion. Over time they may become a ubiquitous company we all expect to hear from when we call the cable or electric company.
