Utility companies, we’re betting that your team members spend a lot of their time on the phone. In fact, we’d go so far as to say that your phone bills probably account for a large proportion of your overheads each month. While it would be impossible to limit the time your sales representatives spend on the phone, it IS possible to reduce the cost of this kind of contact. Have you taken a moment to consider a move to VoIP? If not, these are just a few of the reasons you may want to…
Have we mentioned that VoIP is easy to install? You’ll be glad to hear that establishing VoIP won’t take a degree in telecommunications, or hours of swearing at a blue screen. Hosted completely online VoIP will work without expensive hardware and servers, and can be launched in mere moments – remotely too, if you’d prefer. What’s more, upgrading VoIP couldn’t be simpler. Features can continue to be added via a web browser, which immediately renders the role of a technician obsolete. VoIP is designed to be scalable, growing in size and stature to mirror your business’s successes. Wherever your business goes VoIP can follow.
You won’t need to purchase expensive handsets and equipment to install VoIP. In fact, all you need to turn a regular desktop phone into a VoIP handset is a small adaptor – a worthy investment. What’s more softphones, which channel VoIP technology, can be downloaded to desktop and laptop computers, and to mobile phones via an app. This technology is not only inexpensive, but its accessible regardless of how you communicate.
It’s estimated that 99.9% of VoIP users experience a reduction in costs immediately. In fact, many companies switching to such a service are saving as much as 75% within a short space of time. So, how is this possible? As its hosted offsite, via the cloud, VoIP will instantly eliminate the need for hardware, line rental, and maintenance. Utility companies taking the leap will also discover there’s no need for servers, which are expensive to run. Additional equipment and technician fees will become a thing of the past, too.
Most VoIP phone systems, Voxcloud’s included, are supplied without a contract. This puts you in full control of your communication and finances. Since you won’t be tied into any expensive terms and conditions you can decide how your business operates – and when you’re going to upgrade your services. Many traditional landlines charge rental costs, a flat rate, and pence per call. With VoIP you only pay for bandwidth you use.
Since VoIP calls are hosted online there are no additional costs involved when it comes to contacting abroad. This is great news for utility companies that regularly call overseas customers and suppliers, and for all companies hoping to expand into the global market. International calls are often charged at local rates, with the system initiating the call in the country you’re contacting.
When it comes to reducing costs a VoIP hosted phone system is a clear choice. Well, unless you wish to continue paying over the odds for your communication, that is.
