Is your startup's communication infrastructure keeping up with its growth? If you're still relying on personal mobile numbers for business calls, it might be time to consider upgrading to a professional phone system. Here are five key signs indicating that transitioning to a hosted VoIP system could be the next step forward for your business.
Mobile number as main contact number: While convenient at first, using personal mobile numbers for business calls can undermine your professionalism, especially when listed on official channels like your website.
Round-the-clock calls: As your business gains traction, expect an influx of calls not just from customers but also suppliers and partners. This can mean you will receive phone calls when your office is closed and letting your phone ring unanswered doesn't look great. While fixed line phone systems can prove expensive and limited in their feature set, a hosted VoIP Cloud PBX will provide your business with extra flexibility and smart call handling, even outside office hours.
Phone tasks overload: In a startup environment, wearing multiple hats is essential, leading to everyone pitching in to answer phones. A Cloud PBX acts as a virtual switchboard, efficiently directing calls to the appropriate staff members. This ensures that your web designer isn't bogged down with sales inquiries, allowing your sales team to focus solely on generating revenue without being interrupted by customer support calls. Plus, with Cloud PBX call routing, you can easily configure call distribution among team members based on predefined parameters.
Loss of IT Manager: Losing your IT manager shouldn’t equate to losing control over your phone system. With a Cloud PBX’s user-friendly interface and cloud-based management, anyone on your team can efficiently manage and update the system.
Budget optimisation: Traditional phone systems can incur substantial costs, eating into your budget. By adopting a Cloud PBX, you can significantly reduce communication expenses, allowing for greater investment in vital areas like marketing and expansion efforts.
Don’t wait until the 2025 PSTN switch-off to upgrade your communication infrastructure. Whether you’re a startup or an established enterprise, investing in a scalable Cloud PBX ensures enhanced efficiency and growth opportunities.
