A small business phone system is designed for small companies and startups like yours. It gives you big business presence for a low monthly price, including features like:
Auto attendants
When customers get a professional automated greeting they get the feeling they are dealing with a Fortune 500 Company and not a brand new venture. So if you happen to be indisposed when an important call comes through, your customers have a first impression that keeps them coming back. A small business phone system managed through the cloud also gives you ability to change your greeting—or other settings—as long as you have a connection.
Conference calling
Nothing looks more professional than the ability to loop in another member of your team to get an answer for a potential client at a moment’s notice.
Voicemail to email
Suppose you’re in a meeting, and you receive an important voicemail but you don’t want to leave the room. A voicemail transcription service takes care of this, granting you the power to read your voicemail right over the interface of your mobile device.
Virtual extensions
Virtual extensions are another way to extend your business presence. Even if you are a sole proprietor you can configure your system with extensions for billing, sales, or customer service departments.
As a new business owner there is no reason to settle for less than the functionality you need or pay more than you can afford. Now, go forth and succeed!
