Why Your Small Business Can't Afford NOT to Have a Hosted VoIP Solution

Small businesses can’t afford to spend money on things that don’t add value or save resource.  So start with your business phone provider—can you afford to keep the one you’ve got?

 

You can’t afford to have a system that isn’t flexible

 

Your business may expand to new sites, move to a new office, need a number in a different geography, require add-ons like call recording for only a few months—and your phone system provider needs to accommodate these things.

 

With a hosted VoIP solution, there is no interruption to service when you move, you can add new sites easily, you can get geographic numbers instantly and you can add and remove features online, effective that day.

 

You can’t afford to not be able to add / remove users instantly

 

You don’t know how big your business will be in a year from now, or two.  Why should you be stuck in a long contract for 20 lines when you may only need 12 next year?  And what if you need to add new lines?  You should be able to do that within 24 hours, without an engineer visit.

 

A hosted VoIP solution provider can promise this.  With VTSL for example, you can add or remove users as you please each month.

 

You can’t afford to not be able to work on the road seamlessly

 

Let’s face it.  You and your staff are a not always in the office.  But customer service and sales needn’t be compromised or seem less professional just because you are on the road, working from home or on-site.

 

With a hosted VoIP solution, your staff can be reached on one number—anywhere.  Home, car, train, office—callers just dial the office number and go through to both the desk phone and mobile simultaneously.

 

You can’t afford to spend hours on hold for help or wait for an engineer to come

 

With a standard business phone provider, if something goes wrong an engineer will have to physically come to your business to check wiring, the PBX and connections.

 

With a hosted VoIP solution, things can be checked and issues resolved remotely.  Updates are made, software upgraded and problems fixed without an engineer visit.

 

You can’t afford to be stuck in a 5-year contract

 

Most standard business phone providers require a 5-year contract.  You are stuck no matter how your needs change.

 

Most hosted VoIP providers offer much more flexible terms.

 

You can’t afford big set-up charges or to pay for local and national calls

 

No matter what kind of phone provider you use, you will have to pay set-up charges and call tariffs on top of whatever else they are charging.

 

With a hosted VoIP solution, set-up costs are minimal (just the phones and router usually) and local and national calls with a provider like VTSL are FREE!

 

What next?  Make sure your business phone system adds value and saves money.
