I went to the gym the other day to workout, and I saw a guy in the lobby hovered over his cell phone with a very serious expression on his face. I only noticed because I see this guy building muscles in the weight room on a regular basis. So fifteen minutes later he hops on the treadmill right next to me with a huge grin on his face. I must have looked at him curiously, because he said, “I just closed a huge deal!” He went on to explain how he’d just conducted a teleconference with important clients and it went very, very well. A teleconference. In the gym lobby. Talk about doing business on the go. But having the type of virtual phone service that can provide such benefits allows small business owners to do just that: be portable, be productive, and be active … all at the same time. Virtual phone services offer a variety of features and benefits. Here are a couple of particular benefits that can help you be flexible, increase productivity and still lead a high-quality lifestyle: On demand teleconferencing. Find a company that offers a reservationless service. You’ll get a permanent toll-free number that is available 24/7 for your conferences. All you have to do is dial the toll-free number and enter your designated PIN to start conferencing anywhere, anytime! Operator and participant keypad controls allow for easy management. Podcasting. You can participate in cutting edge business with PodFone! Podcast conference calls, important messages and other valuable information whenever and wherever it's convenient! In case you’re not sure, pod casting is how you can share phone messages, teleconferences, audio training sessions, meetings, radio shows...just about any audio content! A podcast is a digital media file, or a series of such files, that is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers. These features can literally change the way you do business. No more being tied down to your desk for a phone call that may or may not happen. You can be anywhere, at anytime, and still get your business done. If you’re looking for a way to free up your schedule, and say, be able to go workout and seal the deal at the same time, then these virtual phone services may be just the thing for you. |
