Local Presence Globally Through a Virtual Phone Number: Is Your Business Getting Left Behind?

“How can I contact you?”

This question is vital and so is the answer when conducting business. But let’s face it, people move around and go on with their lives after a transaction.  In business, you need to run an extra mile ahead of your competitors to satisfy your customers and keep a steady clients base. A virtual phone number is one solution most businesses are investing into that allows them to connect with customers worldwide, and provide support with clients while still maintaining  a traditional phone system.

There are different types of phone systems to choose from depending on your needs. You can use a virtual number combined with a regular phone which allows your business to have presence locally and internationally.  Or you can opt for a total virtual system if you’re looking for a more extensive solution. The call-forwarding feature of this system transfers a call from a business’ main line to an extension number- either a mobile number, another business number, or/and home phones. This eliminates the burden of employees of carrying different devices and subscribing to multiple mobile numbers for personal and business uses. Employees who work remotely can still be able to provide support and assistance.

Your industry is not a consideration anymore when you want to appeal to clients regardless of location. Let’s say your business is based in Bristol, professional virtual 0117 numbers  allow your clients locally and from across the globe to get in touch with you for any type of query or feedback. This is an effective, simple and affordable tool in achieving your company’s goal. How is this possible?

• You will be provided with local presence which eliminates your client’s burden of paying for long-distance or international toll charges. It works both ways, right?
•  
• This  can work as a marketing tool that somehow influences the client’s’ behavior towards making or answering a call since most clients tend to answer a local call. Would you rather call a local number or an international number for a simple query?
•  
• On the other hand, obtaining an international virtual number is essential and beneficial if you’re conducting business internationally. You will not be limited of getting only local clients just because your phone number restricts you.
•  
• You can customize your virtual portal. Managing your local and toll-free numbers is possible and easy if you want with your extension number/s forwarded to your device like tablet, mobile, or smartwatch.  You can even change and add a personal touch with the call-forwarding rules.
•  
• You don’t need to open up another branch or hire local (or international) employees while appearing so.  It cannot get more cost effective than that.

Having local or multinational clients’ base means you need a more advanced phone system to keep up with their needs.  You don’t need to stay in one place anymore where your phone is installed while waiting for a call from your client. And on top of that, your client’s’ convenience is guaranteed.
