For the past three years Clark has been raving about Internet telephone service, also known as VOIP (voice over internet protocol). It will eventually be the only phone system used in the United States, but for now it’s still growing. Vonage is the largest of the VOIP services, and there are others including Packet8 and Skype. Well, telemarketers are catching onto the new trend and they’re creating new start-up VOIP companies and selling service over the phone. The problem is that the people who jump on the bandwagon to help sell are sometimes blinded by the promises and the idea of making lots of money. If you are asked for money to join one of these start-up VOIP sales teams, run the other way. You should not have to pay anything to get involved if the company is legit and the main priority is to sell the service. Some companies may be fronts for sales companies that are really trying to make money by recruiting fresh blood. Be careful!
