Connectivity and communication are important to every business, whether big or small. But at what point does it become a priority? Let us help you decide on the best time to install a high quality phone system. Here are some of the most opportune situations to do so:
(1) Opening a New Business
When you first begin your operation, a business phone number is crucial. To start, it is helpful if you would like your company to be found on the internet. Google and other search engines utilize a National 411 Director to verify a business for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) purposes. Ranking higher on Google helps bring in more customers! Not to mention, a business phone line shows your clients that you are a legitimate business. If someone has interest in your services and cannot reach you, chances are they will move on to your competitor.
(2) Moving to a New Business Location
Changing your business’s location is the perfect time to assess a phone system. Moving older phone systems can be costly and potentially create a situation where you may miss calls for hours or even days. By installing a new VOIP Phone System, your move should be seamless. Most customers actually save money with this type of transition to upgraded technology.
(3) New Additional Locations
When adding a new location, it is a good time to evaluate if the current phone system is right for a multi-location business. Many business owners find that cloud based hosted VOIP phone systems tend to be easily scalable compared to on-premise phone systems. Having all the information under these circumstances will help you make the best decision for your business.
(4) Old Phone Systems
Technology for phone systems has come a long way in the past 5 to 10 years. Are you currently using an outdated phone system? Hosted VOIP Phone Systems typically have a lower monthly and annual cost than on-premise phone systems.
On-premise phone systems create a dependency on having a local phone vendor for changes and repair. The Hosted VOIP companies include service into their pricing which can reduce the annual cost. Furthermore, these types of systems need phone lines in order to function. This could include analog lines, PRI or SIP.
Regardless, there is an ongoing monthly cost for these lines on top of it creating a situation where you are paying that provider AND your phone vendor for the service. Hosted VOIP simplifies this by combining all of the expenses into a single invoice and service.
(5) More Features and Current Technology
If your business has grown to that point of needing more phone features and better, up-to-date technology, it is definitely worth looking into a new phone system. New features such as “soft phone” and “find me / follow me” lead to greater productivity of your staff. In addition, many businesses have the option to allow people to work from home. Hosted VOIP systems assure that the employee is using the business phone line and not a personal mobile phone, which is more effective and professional. The app works on mobile devices, tablets and even Windows computers.
Buying a new business phone system is an important decision. When we understand that the advantages are new technology at potentially a lower price, it makes that decision a little easier. Our experts at NetSavvy know about phone systems and phone service providers.
