A hosted solution is the first thing that popped in to my head as well for the OP.
Unless they have deep pockets or a large number of users at each of the 11 sales locations, it's a no brainer.

I agree with The Hosted Option being a great option.
11 separate locations/locals. Likeliness of 1 carrier handling them all ( Affordably) is unlikely. With a quality hosted solution, you can get circuits from that provider where available/affordable, and BYOB ( bring your own bandwidth) where needed from whoever is available.
Make sure to get quality equipment and a reputable company to install and go over how you want the system to work , specifically, ahead of time.
I like Polycom phones and Edgewater QOS devices but there are many , many others out there.

Hosted or Shoretel.
I have a corperate headquarters here in Denver with 60+ stations and 25 other offices scattered throughout the US. They use the internet to connect Shoretel Ip stations back to the HQ via Sonicwall routers.
Windstream can route their local and 800# traffic into the Denver PRI circuits and we route the calls out to the satellite offices. Clients have no clue their calls are routing though Denver, they are dialing their own area code.
If you're considering hosted, I strongly recommend Freedom Voice. One of the few hosted solution with NO CONTRACT and their service is top notch.
That's my 2cents

Hosted? Really? The guy is going to want a stable reliable system that has the features he wants from a company he knows and can trust. That does not sound like hosted to me. Oh yeah add in that the hosted solution will cost him a fortune over the time he is renting it.
Find a good hybrid system that can do both digital and IP, put in an mpls network and your done and no headaches. If your ever tempted to do hosted go to Goggle and type in "problem with hosted telephone systems" and read the sad stories.

You are passing up a great opportunity to sell a reliable, affordable VOIP system. Hosted systems will eventually eat themselves and become really expensive. If they last, at all. Anyone promising nationwide service at really low prices can't sustain the load. Remember Norvergence?
