As Australia prepares for the Global Financial Crisis, there are many things you can do to prepare your business, but the bottom line is - cost cutting....
Australian business must not only think smarter, work smarter, but must now spend smarter...
To survive the hard times, and prosper.... the trick is about eliminating outdated technology, or inefficient equipment, or oldschool practices and adapt to the new business environment of 2012.
But in any organisation, we all become accustomed to the comfort of 'the devil we know' and beware the 'Devil we don't'
With new technology, and new practices comes new dangers, new pitfalls, but don't forget 'new benefits' and 'new advantages'.
With the rise of the internet and social media, and Globalisation it is really really hard to keep up...
One of the things Australian business can do to stay ahead of the game is switch to VOIP Phones.
Basically, it is internet based phone calls.
Why:
- Much Much Much cheaper call rates - Cheaper than Skype (for business)...
- Multiple Phone lines are a fraction of the price - Much cheaper than 1300 numbers.
- One button can Block Telemarketers, wasting your Company time - FOREVER...
- Record Staff Phone Conversations for Quality Training (optional).
- Can Login to the phone and redirect calls, or edit the preferences.
- Can get rid of FAX line. All Faxes get emailed as PDF Document.
- Voicemail messages get emailed to you. No need to dial voicemail. Go through prompts.
- Super Cheap international calls
What People Fear:
Fear.... If the internet connection drops out will bring their business down.
Solution.... The primary phone line with Telstra should remain for this very reason. If the internet does go down temporarily, all VOIP calls will be transferred to the Telstra line, and all phone calls will be retrieved.
Problem.... Moving to VOIP will require a whole lot of expensive equipment.
Solution.... New Phones will are provided free of charge
Problem.... I don't like the idea of having my phone line hosted internationally.
Solution.... The phone line, and data is hosted in Collins Street, Melbourne
Problem.... If I signup to a plan, and I hate it I will be stuck.
Solution.... Australian businesses can signup on the best plan for them, and then if they are unhappy with the level of service, rates, or the benefits they can leave after the first month. Don't even pay for the monthly fee, just send back the equipment we give you and pay for the calls made. No Problems.
