Using Toll Free Numbers to Manage Multiple Businesses
Posted by Tollfreenumber.ORG at June 6th, 2014
Here at Tollfreenumber.Org we often receive calls from people that own, and operate, multiple small businesses. One recent caller was a gentleman from South Carolina who co-owns a security company with his brother while also running a successful pool-cleaning business. Another customer of ours from Southern California is both a contractor as well as an amateur brewer, filmmaker, and musician. We also provide toll free phone service for a married couple from St. Louis who run a small chain of local pizzerias. Although all of these businesses are in different fields and are operated in their own unique ways, each of our customers have taken advantage of the features included in our toll free phone system to simply and effectively manage multiple businesses at once.
The way they do it is by utilizing one of the most basic features we offer: the ability to have your toll free number ring to a multitude of extensions. These extensions can be different telephone numbers (whether they be cell, landline, or VoIP), voice mailboxes, or even the same number! How’s that, you say? A common trick that many small-businesses use is to set up different extensions ringing to the same number. For example: they’ll record a greeting asking the caller to dial 1 for sales or 2 for customer service. When the call rings through to their phone the phone system will announce which extension the caller is ringing through on. That way they can address the customer in the appropriate manner, effectively making a small business look much larger and much more professional! For others our toll free phone system gives them the capability to know which of their stores, agents, or managers is calling them at any given time so that they can more effectively focus on the task at hand and prepare accordingly.
It can be hard running a small business; and even harder running more than one! Don’t make it any more difficult than it has to be. Call us today at 1-800-951-9411 for more information about how a toll free 1-800 number from Tollfreenumber.ORG can help you manage your businesses!
