Run your business with a digital office

Using the equipment and technology on the market today you are able to run a company without the need to be inside a business office.

Traditionally, to be able to engage with your prospects it was essential to have a phone line, fax line as well as a post office box to collect correspondence.

Everything has transformed enormously ever since the world wide web and personal computer were introduced into the world.

Now you can communicate with shoppers via e-mail, social media and smart mobile phones.

All this cutting edge technology means that it is possible to connect with your customers from virtually any place you want.

You can actually utilize a toll free telephone number to take all your inbound phone calls. A toll free number are generally numbers like 13 numbers, 1300 telephone numbers and 1800 telephone numbers. These numbers are specifically designed to take incoming telephone calls only. You can't actually generate any outgoing calls from them.

A 13 number is usually a six digit number and is the most expensive to operate. There's a once a month tax levy charged on a 13 number through the government. This levy is normally $1,000 dollars.

Don’t have time to take phone calls? You could divert your 13 number to a live telephone answering service. So what is a live telephone answering service? This service means that you basically hire a virtual receptionist to answer all your calls. The details of the telephone call are delivered to you via e-mail or SMS.

Another solution is to route your phone calls to a virtual manager service. This service lets your shoppers leave a digitally recorded voice mail on your telephone. The message is then transmitted instantly to your e-mail for you to listen.

It's possible to receive faxes on your email too. Fax to email technology sends faxes directly to your email. You do not actually need a fax machine anymore.

As you can see there are many different tools you can employ to operate your company directly from your computer without needing to have a brick and mortar office.
