Your face is made up of many pieces when you are business owner. Communications with clients, associates, and others are a large piece of that face.
When one of the above mentioned trys to contact your business, someone is not always going to be available to answer their calls.
The problem is that most home based and small business owners wither have have a full time job along with their part time business or they do not have enough employees to handle all of their calls or communications.
Most employers will not take kindly to you trying to run your own business on their time using their computers, phones, and fax machines. This can keep the part time or small business owner from providing a face to their business 24/7.
One of the lowest cost solutions to make your one-man show of a business look bigger and more professional is a Unified Message System (UMS).
A UMS allows a business owner to set the service to call forward, receive faxes, conference call, and a mirad of other features. It can follow you anywhere you choose.
Some can record the voice message left by the caller, convert it to a wave file and forward to my email along with the caller ID information (phone number, location, caller name).
You can also call your access number and change your greeting over the phone as well as listen to your messages.
If this wasn't enough it also allows callers to fax information to you. Some services convert the fax into a PDF or TIFF file and forwards it to your email.
This type of service provides a face for your customer 24/7. It allows you to have calls forwarded to your cell phone, email, as well as receive faxes all for less a month than what you would spend on a cheeseburger meal at McDonalds.
