For a small business just setting up or expanding, it seems logical to save money by installing your own business telephone system. After all, there is a wealth of information on the Internet, and you know your PBX from your VOIP, right?
Although in the long run it makes more sense to hire a phone systems technician. Phone systems technicians have exposure to and training with a large variety of systems from simple 4-line setups to complex networks spread over multiple locations and with dozens of custom components. Also, a good phone systems technician will calculate your needs and recommend the optimum setup for your situation, using the most fitting equipment and efficient phone layouts. They are up to date on the latest technology and know where to find the best deals on hardware, including possibilities like refurbished systems, or even upgrading and expanding your existing system instead of the full replacement you had envisioned.
A phone systems technician can save you countless time and anxiety. He or she knows that you need to focus on your business, and as a small business person even a few hours off line can cost you dearly in terms of money and clients! The tech can plan and prepare for the install so that any cutover to a new system takes place during a period of low or no call volume and will plan for any downtime needed for troubleshooting and tweaking to fall over a weekend or other off time, and will commit to doing whatever it takes to have you up and running on Monday morning.
Moreover, the phone service technician can be a valuable resource to you and your staff. Rather than each person struggling to learn the system, assign extensions, establish rollover patterns, select hold music and ringtones, and set up voicemail accounts, the tech can complete all these tasks and even provide training to all employees or one or two as a “train the trainer” service so that everyone is familiar with the new system the minute it goes live.
An exceptional phone service technician’s job is not over when you receive your first incoming call. He or she will remain a resource to you going forward, able to advise and troubleshoot on any outcomes or needs that arise, keeping your business’s link to the outside world in perfect working order.
