Who answers your business phone every day? Most entrepreneurs report that they are the ones to answer the phone when it rings. Some don\u2019t have a business phone number \u2013 instead, they just use their cell phone to field business calls. There are three problems with this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019t, they\u2019ll see the business as unprofessional or ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, if calls are coming directly to your cell phone, they\u2019re creating interruptions and distractions every time the phone rings. How can you concentrate on priorities if you\u2019re stopping to answer the phone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if callers realize they\u2019re speaking to the business owner, it gives an air of informality and makes the business look smaller than it needs to. Callers might wonder, \u201cIf this is a legitimate company, why is the owner answering the phone? Shouldn\u2019t they be busy running the company?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
