subject: Provide Your Customers With A Toll Free Number From Anywhere In The World [print this page] Virtual businesses are increasingly becoming the norm as owners seek ways to lower expenses, eliminate daily travel time and expense, and become more mobile. A virtual or mobile office has no specific location. It can be in an internet caf, a library, a family log cabin, a sunny beach or even your car (of course you would not text or check your email while driving, right?). My point being that you are not tied down in any way to an office if you choose not to be. While this can be a very stimulating way to conduct business, there are a number of considerations for your customers and potential customers. One major consideration is providing your customers with a toll free number for your business.
Since your business is mobile, the option of acquiring a toll free number through a PBX virtual phone service is your best bet. A virtual phone service will allow you to manage your calls through the internet, cell phone or even your personal landline. The beauty of a PBX phone service for the virtual business is flexibility. No matter where you are, your customers have access to you through your companys toll free number. The ability to provide such a service projects authority, professionalism and a certain clout in the eyes of your clients and potential clients.
Providing a toll free number for your business is just one of the many advantages to PBX technology such as providing for call forwarding and voicemail. Access to your voicemail and call forwarding can be done via your cell phone, landline or through an online back office. You can also have voicemail sent via an email message in order for fast and easy message checks.
Depending upon the size of your business, you can add as many different extension numbers as you need, and have assigned numbers for remote workers and departments. If one toll free number is not enough, add a second, third or more! The great thing about being virtual is the limitless capabilities of the virtual PBX system. You can choose from prerecorded greetings, create your own recorded greetings, or create a recorded company directory or menu.
Instead of tying up your phones with calls from people requesting information, record updated information, answers to frequently asked questions, account balances, specialized business related services information, special offers and much more. You are only limited by your own creativity!
Your virtual company should provide a toll free number for the convenience of your customers. As you can see, the advantages of using a PBX phone system are many. From scalability and flexibility to affordability, PBX phone solutions are a service that your virtual business should explore.
