For more than a decade, Freeje has helped enterprises expand their empire with relatively small investments through virtual phone numbers.
A lot of customers nowadays crave (or at times, even expect) a certain level of virtualization from enterprises such as having a professional email instead of just a Gmail account. But that’s not the same for all aspects.
Communication, despite the advancements available today, is still preferred to be traditional especially when concerning business transactions. We believe that every business – regardless of size – will benefit from having a VoIP number.
If you’re interested to see how this tech will work for you, keep reading to see just how much you’ll get out of it.
A quick intro on virtual numbers
Put simply, it’s like your regular number but the internet version. You don’t get this from a physical SIM, and you don’t necessarily need a phone to use it.
It’s created and operated through the internet, so for all devices where communication is possible, this definitely will work. It’s a versatile solution that has become a staple for smart entrepreneurs everywhere.
What will your business get by taking this leap?
1. Better privacy protection
We live in an era of personal relationships with customers. That’s why a lot of salespersons and agents normally provide a number that potential customers can use to reach them.
Giving out your real number may result in personal security concerns. But there’s no way that anyone can use this number to get more information from you.
With this solution, they can still reach you through your personal number without ever knowing what that number actually is. And all you have to do is route calls coming in from the virtual number to your real one.
2. Lots of additional features for cheap
With a landline, you’re stuck to very basic functions. And every additional feature that you want will come at a price because you have to purchase additional equipment for it.
Because of the nature of virtual numbers, it’s not bound by the same limitations. Essentially any upgrade that you can think of is now possible but without costing you an arm and a leg.
So for smaller companies and startups, they can access all features that only companies with big budgets can purchase to help them further improve their systems and increase sales.
3. Multi-device connectivity
We’ve been used to having a number associated with only one device. But that’s not something that you have to keep living with if you make the switch.
Just by downloading a softphone or logging into your provider’s site, you can access all messages no matter what device you use. This way, you’re not forced to bring another phone with you because you can take this tech everywhere.
4. Independence from location limitations
You can easily get a local number from a different area with no issues. For example, if you’re in the United States, you can get a UK number to establish your presence there. You don’t need to actually go there and set up an office to do so.
On the internal side of things, it also means that your workers can be anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This allows you to scout for top talent regardless of location.
5. Access to SMS marketing
Did you know that 95% of people read their text messages within 5 minutes after receiving them? That level of open rate is unseen anywhere else. And with a virtual phone number, you can use this tool to reach out to your market.
And it’s way easier to set up and get results than say, a FB ad campaign. And with how fast-paced SMS marketing is, you can easily tweak your message to get better results.
6. Lower costs
Of all the amazing things that you can get from this tech, the cost difference is perhaps the most attractive selling point. After all, who wouldn’t be intrigued by the possibility of cutting their phone bill by 80%?
As it allows you to get a number from any place you want, you can get rid of international phone costs. The level of streamlining that virtual SIMs make possible also improves the productivity of your employees, thus improving the overall cost per output ratio.
The price difference alone in converting your systems to VoIP than sticking with the old is enough of an argument for VoIP. But for us, even without the price advantage, it will always make sense to go the VoIP route.
A small, powerful, and affordable investment that can take your enterprise to the next level? How can anyone say no? We suggest that you try it out for yourself by downloading Freeje Optimum – a business phone line app that even by itself, can support a small call center for you.
