Why a Cloud Based Phone System is
|
Over 4 million businesses have moved to the cloud with Google Apps. —Fortune Magazine, 2006 study |
Hosted phone systems are now the preferred choice of small businesses. Business phone systems have long struggled to free themselves of being expensive to customize and difficult to implement. As users, we’ve endured decades of phone systems whose interfaces made it unclear how to transfer a call without reading a manual. As hosted, or SaaS based phone systems have made dents into the market, it’s become easier and more viable for small business owners to have business telephony.
For many, moving their workfoce software to Google Apps™ makes sense. Similarly, small businesses (and large enterprises) have decided that moving their workforce productivity applications “to the cloud” makes economic sense, and thus go from traditional software deployments to the Google Apps platform. What if you could combine the two?
By leveraging the groups, contacts, and productivity tools built into Google Apps, small and medium sized businesses can quickly create telephony work-flows that allow for quick pivots in business models, teams, and campaigns. For example:
Remote workers that are part of your Google Apps accounts can easily be given extensions from the main company number, or acquire a local number for sales and marketing purposes. They can easily appear as a natural extension of the company office phone system while being anywhere in the country with just their cell phone.
New sales or advertising campaigns can be assigned their own telephone number from Halloo as either local or toll free numbers, then have extensions to anyone in your company
who’s also on Google Apps—within minutes. Certain sales or support reps could be assigned to a campaign and be take calls the very minute a Google Adwords pay per click campaign or an email newsletter goes live.
It’s always amazed me how many professionals (myself included) scrutinize our website analytics but often overlook our phone call statistics:
How many calls do you miss from customers each day? What are the average times of day people call? What are the numbers of the calls I’ve missed? What percentage of my customers actually leave voicemails?
With Halloo for Google Apps, obtaining critical operational insights into you phone work-flow is granular enough but easy to understand.
