A Dependable Business Phone System is Crucial to Your Growth
Missed phone calls mean missed opportunities.
If your business phone system is not dependable and you have calls dropping from poor quality, or your customers get frustrated trying to navigate it, you are likely missing opportunities. These are opportunities for business growth, opportunities for satisfied customers and opportunities to outdo your competitors.
Considering New Technology, is the Telephone Dead?
No, in fact, consumers still contact companies either to make a purchase, book an appointment or get customer service support primarily via the phone. Technology can often be a barrier between a company and its customers which is why customer service is more important than ever. Customers want to feel valued, not like technology has turned them into a commodity.
According to research by NewVoiceMedia:
- $41 billion is lost each year due to poor customer service
- 75% of consumers think calling is most effective for a quick response
- 53% are irritated if they don’t speak to a real person immediately
- 59% prefer to contact a business by phone
- 25% of consumers switch to a different company because they are tired of being put on hold
- After a positive experience, 69% would recommend the company to others and 50% would use the company more frequently
What Your Phone System Says About Your Business
Whether you like it or not, the state of your business phone system makes an impression on your customers. You have likely had your own experience with trying to reach a customer service department, only to have your call dropped during a transfer. This can be very frustrating, especially when you are seeking answers to critical questions you have about a product or service. It also gives you a poor impression of the company you are attempting to contact.
The same could be said for your own business phone system. If your customers can’t reach you or your system’s call quality is poor…what impression are you giving your customers? A bad one because your customers or potential customers might consider your business to be unprofessional, or worse yet, your customers will think you just don’t care. If this sounds like your phone system, maybe it is time to make a change for the better.
