Is having a landline important?
How do you feel when you look at the back of a van and it suggests you can contact [email protected]...
Yep, and while I know the world has moved on so that a mobile number for a business is more acceptable, I was thinking about how useful it would be to be able to have separate numbers for my Jay Brand Ambassador clients so that I know what someone is wanting to talk to me about when they call.
It was then that I met James Bulman I soon realised how easy it would be to sort out all my telephony needs. Well that was a few weeks ago, and this afternoon I was chatting once more with him and I taught him something about phone numbers....
Yes I told him how important the make up of my numbers would be - you see being born in Hong Kong gives you a natural desire to avoid the number 4 - you see, as I told James today, the number 4 when spoken sounds the same as the word for Death!!!
So if your driving around the M25 and you see a personalised numberplate with the number 4 prominantly displayed... I will bet my house that the driver and it's passengers will NOT be chinese...
The long and the short of it, is that if you were to dial 01628879782 you will get through to me! How exciting, no really it is... and your welcome to try it...
In minutes, I have a new phone number, it's now just a question of sorting out where I publicise it so that people know what number to call me on, and I can for a matter of pennies have calls that are recorded and can be made wherever there is either wifi or 3/4g signal.
So if your business would benefit from having a geographic number, give James a call, the app is simple to use and has many many other benefits in terms of voicemail capabilities etc.
I think what I am trying to say in one sentence, is thank you James - I have a new number folks! Check out www.msp?phones.co.uk
As always, I am interested in your thoughts and views on the subject

7 年Fantastic article Jay. I too believe that it’s important to have a "landline". With VOIP systems/apps they do make it easy especially for small companies to have more than one telephone line and in my opinion looks professional, great to see you now have one too.
