Many small businesses think that they can pass muster with an older business phone system or even with their mobile phones. However, outdated systems or mobile phones have their drawbacks and can end up costing you more than you might save with older systems or mobiles. If you have a small business with only a few employees, a cloud business phone system is often the perfect solution. For one thing, they are extremely cost-effective. Secondly, they provide you the freedom to also work on any existing devices and don’t require additional hardware. Lastly, the features you gain with a cloud phone system make communication and collaboration easy.
Is Your Business too Small for a Cloud Business Phone System?
Many businesses believe that they are simply too small to benefit from a cloud business phone system. However, it essentially comes down to the type of image you wish to present to your customer. Upgrading will aid your business in appearing more professional. Furthermore, they have tools and features that help your business grow.
Business Phone Numbers
The biggest concern for business owners regarding virtual business phone systems is their phone number. Local or toll-free business numbers can be used on any or all of your existing devices.
Local business phone numbers are ideal for maintaining a local presence (or if you want to establish a presence in a new location). Toll-free (800) business phone numbers make you seem like you are a larger and more established company.
Cloud Business Phone System Features
Most systems have auto-attendants that answer calls with a custom greeting. These attendants direct callers through menu options, i.e., “1 for Sales, 2 for Customer Service”. Moreover, cloud systems allow users to record calls and voicemails and share them via email.
