Hmm, time to ditch them for long distance. I know 'long distance' is old school to all the VOIP users, but I want 911 to work at my house. I have young kids and you never know when they'll have to call because I can't.
Now lets assume you requested a budget increase for the following year - then this approach will also ensure that (lots of circularity going on here):
sales must go up to cover the increased budget
features must go up to get those sales
revenues must go up because you had more sales (else your stock price may drop...)
labor spent must go up to cover the added features and added workforce (assuming you throw developers at the problem...)
customers must increase because not all your existing customers will buy again (unless you happen to have them in a automatically renewing subscription until cancelled in writing 30 days in advance...)
prices must go up to cover the increased feature set/labor/etc...
And I don't think it's too much of stretch to also note that the bigger your budget the more power you have...
Sounds like the model used by so many companies, until the customers get fed up and jump to the something cheaper and "good enough for me" - then it's downsizing time for you...
