5 reasons why VoIP is necessary to move your business forward
If you haven’t made the switch to a VoIP phone system, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to put your business ahead of the rest. VoIP will soon replace all commercial landlines because of all the great opportunities you have with these systems. Not only are they the wave of future communications, but they also save you money. I have listed for you a few reasons why VoIP is the answer to your business needs.
Save Money – This one has to go without saying, the more money you save by using a VoIP phone system instead of traditional phone lines, the more you can invest in your business (or in your pocket). VoIP systems are exceptionally less expensive than traditional phone systems and your phone bill can be eliminated entirely.
Efficiency: In today’s business world, we want bigger, better, faster, and more robust things. How else are we going to get ahead of the competition? Well VoIP systems do exactly that, with this technology your phones are now integrated with your computers and from there the possibilities are endless. For example, you could link your VoIP phone system to your CRM and when a customer calls, all of their information appears right in front of you. Saving you valuable time and opening up sales opportunities.
Metrics – I don’t know if you know this, but numbers don’t lie, which is why Big Data is so prevalent in every industry. Business owners need to know if what they are doing is working or perhaps how much each sales rep is worth to them. A lot of information and projections can be gleaned from metrics of what’s happening on the phone. Call times, call amounts, idle times, etc. the list goes on. With a VoIP phone system you can have a custom wall dashboard that tracks all the information from your phone systems and to take it a step further you could even link it to your CRM and now we are talking about reports you can only dream of.
Mobile – We all know that in many cases, work doesn’t end when you leave the office, more and more people are making themselves available to customers long after business hours. The best a traditional phone system can do is forward your calls to your cell phone. Do you want to know what the best thing a VoIP phone can do is? I don’t have time to list it all! Most VoIP systems come with a mobile app that allows you to have many of the features you use on your office phone, as well as video conferencing.
Appearance isn’t everything – who are we kidding, of course looks mean something and now with all the new bells and whistles that come with VoIP phones, your office is going to look pretty fancy. Many phones come standard with a nice screen that you can put your own background on, and even the best phones come with a 7″ touchscreen. With added accessories like headsets and Bluetooth plug-ins, your office will look sharp.
