Is Your Telephone Working for Your Competition?
So if I sign up with one of these services, how does that affect my home phone? That's my primary communication tool right now.
For one thing, it will allow you to keep your personal phone number private. All you ever give anyone is your toll-free number.No separate numbers for fax...cell...office...home...or whatever. And with that number you can be reached 24/7. What's more, you never have to change it. If your area code changes or you move to an office building, you take your number with you.
Here's one other thing. Toll-free business phones can provide a custom phone number that relates to your business. For example, a florist might want the number 1-800-FLOWERS. Just think how easy a number like that is to remember and how it can benefit your business.
John smiled and put out his hand. Okay, it sounds good.But I'm going to have to check it out for myself. When I getback to the office I'll look up some toll-free business telephone services on the Internet.”
Sounds good...but just a word of caution, John. You want a reliable service and one that offers all and more of the features I've mentioned. Remember, this service is going to become an important part of your business so choose wisely.
John's friend was asking John to be more cautious only for the reason that there are many providers with different calling rates. Many providers charge double for a forwarded call which the users might not know at the time of buying a Toll Free Number.
