While startups usually start small, they still need all the phone features you’d expect at a big business or enterprise. Startup employees often take on multiple roles during the beginning days, and everything moves at a fast pace: you need a business phone service that grows with your business.
It’s also crucial to look polished and poised in the early days of a startup business. While having employees use their personal cell phones to take office calls might seem convenient, it lacks professionalism. A main office number enables you to look like an established business, and it can help you more easily route calls to the appropriate person.
Features like extension dialing, conference bridge, ring groups and call logs also give your employees the tools they need to communicate with ease. And, lastly, a mobile app that provides seamless mobile integration is an absolute must for busy startup employees on-the-go.
Entrepreneurs also often work with a distributed workforce, remote workers, or offices in multiple locations. Using a mobile app that connects to your main startup business line helps you better manage employees and communicate with customers and partners no matter where they are located.
