Small Business Telecommunications Questions


Tuesday, February 3, 2009


Currently, all small businesses are looking to do more with less to avoid becoming a casualty of the economic downturn. Cutting back is the name of the game, but that doesn't mean you can cut everything. What questions should your small business be asking about telecommunications in order to decide what your needs are and how you can get a good deal? Here are 3 questions that could help you.
  • What role does the telephone or fax have in your customer or client relationship? If you are an Internet business who rarely gets a call, having a professional phone service isn't quite as important. However, if you rely on phone conversations to make sales or help customers, you should use the opportunity to make a good impression.
  • Where do you tend to do your business? If you always work in an office and primarily deal with other businesses on a standard office schedule, your needs will be fairly standard. But if you deal with customers, are on the go, work odd hours, or have clients in different time zones, you may need additional options like call forwarding and answering rules.
  • What features are most important? If you need to have extensions, have to have hold music, or love your current phone menu, you will want to find a phone system that is cheap yet has all the options you want. Try RingCentral.
