An Investment In Your Image

By Brandi Cummings  -  February 15, 2007

A common mistake many small and home based businesses make is not including their phone system in their image campaign.  What usually happens is one, the business only has a local number and two, if the consumer decides to go ahead and dial the local number, the whole experience can leave them wondering if there really is a reliable company behind that number.  A virtual PBX system helps small and home based businesses portray a professional image with a minimal investment.  Three of the features that allow a virtual PBX to send the right message to your potential customers are:

  1. A toll free number: Studies show that consumers see a business with a toll free number as more serious, professional and reliable.
  2. An automated attendant:  An automated attendant answers calls consistently and professionally every time. 
  3. “Follow me” call forwarding:  With call forwarding businesses can send calls to a dispersed workforce while keeping the appearance of one location.  They can also appear larger by having multiple extensions lead to the same place.

These are just a few of the ways a virtual PBX can help small and home based businesses ensure that their phone system is portraying the professional image they deserve.  With systems ranging from $10.00 - $30.00, it is an investment in your image that you can’t afford not to make.  To find out more about how these and other features can enhance your professional image view this short flash tour.
