The Best Way to Make Your Business Look Bigger

Who answers your business phone every day? Most entrepreneurs report that they are the ones to answer the phone when it rings. Some don’t have a business phone number – instead, they just use their cell phone to field business calls. There are three problems with this method.

First, your callers can tell the difference between a business phone number and a cell phone number. Many people expect businesses to have a toll free or local landline number, and if they don’t, they’ll see the business as unprofessional or ineffective.

Second, if calls are coming directly to your cell phone, they’re creating interruptions and distractions every time the phone rings. How can you concentrate on priorities if you’re stopping to answer the phone?

Finally, if callers realize they’re speaking to the business owner, it gives an air of informality and makes the business look smaller than it needs to. Callers might wonder, “If this is a legitimate company, why is the owner answering the phone? Shouldn’t they be busy running the company?”

You don’t have to lie to your customers to make your business appear larger. The best way to make your business look bigger is by hiring a virtual receptionist to answer your calls for you.

A virtual receptionist can still work with you if you’re using your cell phone as your business number, but we highly recommend you take advantage of a local or toll-free phone number for your business.

Conversational offers both local and toll-free phone numbers for clients that don’t currently have a business phone. You’ll get to select from apool of numbers available for your business (mostly 866 or 877) for a low monthly fee of $25.00.
