DIAL UP YOUR BUSINESS GROWTH STRATEGY WITH VoIP
There is no question that upgrading your phone system will benefit your business in a number of ways. Technology has advanced dramatically over the last decade; features you could have only once dreamed of are available at your fingertips.
1. Refresh your technology
As a nation most of us are obsessed with having the latest mobile, whether that’s an iPhone or an Android. Why? Because we want to be able to take advantage of the new features such as having an ultra-wide camera.
It’s no different for your business phone system, moving to a hosted phone system provides more opportunities such as flexible working, as you can take calls on your mobile as well as your phone system, meaning you never miss a call.
2. Data is king
Call statistics are crucial to businesses in every industry. The average UK company loses £12,000 a year due to missed calls. 85% of customers will never call back if their call isn’t answered, they will simply find the next option – your competitor!
Call recording software provides data for various activities, from staff training to performance management. Should you require it, you can opt for a solution that records 100% of calls – essentials in certain sectors. The option is there to also pick and choose which calls to record if this suits your business the best.
3. Automate
Efficiency = Automation. It’s that simple, everyone knows the power of automating from saving time to most importantly saving money. There are many features to hosted VoIP phone systems to help support your business every day, these can be different depending on the industry.
For instance, hotels and leisure facilities can be supported by automating their wake-up process, automatic calls can be actioned and if they don’t pick up any calls a notification goes to the CRM to alert further action may be needed. A product that supports every business is auto attendant, this ensures calls are directed to the correct place.
4. Integrate with new tech
The businesses which provide their consumers with what they need are the most successful. By integrating technology with your VoIP phone system, this allows you to support your customers growing needs.
With the advancement in home working communicating via video has become increasingly more important. Introducing iPECS2Teams, iPECS have recognised this shift in business and teamed with Microsoft Teams bringing the calls from iPECS Cloud to Microsoft Teams users.
By adding voice and calls to Teams delivers improved user productivity and effectiveness of the Microsoft Teams platform. Businesses can say goodbye to the frustration of having two systems and say hello to iPECS2Teams on PC, tablet and mobile!
