Small businesses face a lot of bumps and bruises during the initial start up phases. As an owner, there is a multitude of things to be responsible for and growing a business in the most efficient manner is at the top of the list. In order to handle to handle the increasing workload, many small businesses will need to have staff, which increases the overhead and is sometimes difficult to accommodate.
One way a business can employ the help they need but not incur the costs is by making available the opportunity to telecommute. There are many work-at-home entrepreneurs that specialize in all facets of business – from bookkeeping to writing to marketing services. These freelancers do their work from the comfort of their own homes and get paid only for the work they do. Companies can offer telecommuting opportunities to such freelancers and still make them an accessible part of their company using a virtual PBX phone system.
The PBX system operates virtually and can be set up from a PC to connect all of your telecommuting staff to one toll-free phone number, regardless of the location of the office or individuals. The phone system allows all incoming calls to be handled and routed automatically through the auto-attendant feature. Each individual freelance personnel can have calls directly forwarded to their choice of telephone number, whether it is a landline or cellular phone. Company management can easily add and change extension information as personnel change. As the company grows, the phone system too will grow with it.
A toll-free phone number can link all of your “virtual offices” together so customers and clientele will always feel your company is accessible, even when it isn’t. In addition to each extension assignment, each individual has access to a voicemail box with personalized greetings capability. So even if you or your telecommuting staff miss a call, they never really miss a call. Besides the convenience of the technology, you also get so many other features with the virtual PBX phone system for a low cost that will certainly fit into a tight start-up budget for any business.
