UK Virtul Switchboard saves calls and money for entrepreneur!

May 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Lost and unanswered calls or un-returned voice messages cost UK companies thousands of pounds in lost revenue every year.For many starting up businesses, the option of having a dedicated office with a dedicated phone line and a dedicated person to reply the calls is not always there. In many cases, entrepreneurs have to juggle few things at the same time.

For example, when talking with the suppliers or partners, the customer call is not what he or she wants to handle at the same time. In many cases there are missed and answered calls that can create a negative image of the company that is just starting off.

The importance of the current call forwarding services cannot be underestimated in small business owner’s world. Statistics show that if the calls are not answered in 30 second, callers hung up, which means potential loss.

There are few solutions, like employing receptionist to take calls. In majority cases the members of the family act in this role and it is not always feasible solution. A virtual receptionist services could be employed, to answer and take all calls. But the end of the month the minute charges for each call taken can cost money that start ups don’t have.

To rescue the situation the Virtual Switchboard could be very good solution for starting up businesses. Typically the Virtual Switchboards offer call rerouting service to home, office, mobile phones and multiple locations throughout UK and abroad. And this without a need of giving away the personal phone numbers! It also offers online control panel and number of redirection minutes.
