The Perfect Greeting. Every Time.

It is crucial that when a customer calls a business that two things happen, first they are greeted (letting them know they called the right place), second someone needs to answer the phone. Sounds simple right? Wrong! Too often I take my business elsewhere because I can’t reach the company I am calling.
Food for thought, answering services have shown that 85% of people that get a voicemail or busy signal don’t leave a message or call back. Furthermore, every minute you wait to call them back reduces your chances of reviving the sale by 75% within the first 5 minutes. If you knew there was a service that significantly improved the chances of capturing more calls wouldn’t you jump on it? I Did!
In a world of instant gratification, there is no room for missed calls or voicemails. In the old days when you left someone a voicemail, you waited for them to call you back because you didn’t have the competitor’s phone number. Nowadays with the internet, I can search for a CPA firm and find all 15 of them within a 15-mile radius then call them one by one and the first one to pick up gets my business. Guess what happens if I get a voicemail or busy signal? You guessed it, moving on.
Unfortunately, that is the way it is now and VoIP phone solutions are the best way to give yourself the upper hand. A virtual receptionist allows you to greet every customer perfectly every time. It also lets your customer know that someone will be right with them encouraging them to stay on the line.
Voicemail to email allows missed calls to be sent to your email as an attached audio file. This allows you to access your voicemails after hours or while you are away from your desk. Getting back to your customers sooner than later is a sure way to earn their business and loyalty.
Automated forwarding allows you to send calls to an answering service (or even your cell phone) who takes down the customer’s information and sends you a text notifying you that someone wants to give you their money!
Sounds pretty good right? Well, that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what a VoIP service can do but it’s a great introduction. Stop missing calls today and start taking advantage of those missed revenue opportunities. Call Mango Voice today to find out more!

Is your business fax putting your company at risk?

business fax mango voice
In the age of modern technology, there are many business practices that we assume are safe. Using a fax machine with a fax line used to be a common practice. Now, there are several online companies that offer quick and easy electronic business fax services. The thing that they don’t tell you is that those important documents may be putting your small business at risk.

Why Business Fax Machines Are Out

As they are considered old technology and are thus often neglected security-wise, fax machines pose potential risks to every organisation where they are used. Yet few companies have a comprehensive and enforced policy covering their use. The main problem is that a fax does not guarantee confidential transmission, either for incoming or outgoing faxes. That means it isn’t a naturally secure way to exchange sensitive information.
Computer Weekly – Michael Cobb

Ok, so that beast in the copy room that makes crazy noises when you press the wrong button that’s called an old-school fax machine and if you are lucky enough to remember their melodious noise, then you probably know just how great they are to work with. Let’s also reminisce over the extra line on our business phone system bill that includes the added expense of the unnecessary fax line. Somehow fax machines are always bigger than they need to be, temperamental, and ridiculously complicated.
Enter the modern age. There is an app for everything. Mango Voice recently announced their mobile app available on both iTunes for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices. So we definitely get the app thing. What you should be aware of is the security involved in business fax transmission. To do that, we’re going to need to explore the process of sending a business fax.

Online Fax Services are Better?

The fax machine: a large box that squeaks whilst taking a piece of paper and eating it, then spitting it out the other side in an obnoxious fashion – repeatedly. This is usually accompanied by sounds that are similar to a broken dial tone that screams. Cherish the memories of your dear busted business fax machine. What else do we do? We have to send fax messages in the world of business.
You scurry to an online solution. With these fancy online business fax applications, they simplify the process by scanning or taking a picture of your documents and then hurling them precariously into the interweb. Cyberspace then passes it around like a hot potato until it lands at the destination that you specified. But what you may not know is that your business fax may have pulled a “Hansel and Gretel” and left a cute breadcrumb trail on the way. With the right information, in the right place, evil ner-do-wells that stalk the internet for vulnerabilities could hack their way into your insecure file data and compromise your important documents.
Not only do un-encrypted messages get passed around with insecure online fax services, but the message once it arrives may sit in someone’s insecure email inbox for days, weeks or months waiting for an email hacker to come along and find your sensitive information.

Security Measures and Why You Should Care

Why do you care about hackers that have all the time in the world to find random fax messages to hack and exploit? Because Fortune Magazine writes articles like this one about “5 huge security breaches at big companies” where the major problem was that no one was paying attention to small details similar to our fax debacle at hand. If huge companies like Walmart, Target, Apple and Home Depot have these problems, odds are your small company may fall into a security trap.
Let’s review quickly the reasons for using an online fax service:

  1. Your fax machine was too terrible to consider fighting with this morning (assuming you have one), there is not possibly enough coffee.
  2. The documents that you are sending are far too important for just email.
  3. And lastly, said documents are also too special and time sensitive for snail mail.

This creates the need in the wonderful world of business for a fax transmission to be necessary.

The Best Cloud-Based Business Fax Solution

Secure Fax by Mango VoiceNow that we all understand the problem, let’s queue the cherubic angel voices with an “ah” as we introduce the new-and-improved extra SECURE Mango Voice Business Fax. We actually listen to our clients and customers. When we hear that a feature could be better, we want to be better. While we have always had security protocols built in, we saw an opportunity to lock down fax transmissions with an added layer of security. We are always staying up-to-date with the latest technology and using it to take care of our clients. Luckily, we have some talent on our team and they know all about creating awesome programs.
Mango Voice Secure Business Fax adds all the security in all the right places. Where other services claim that they offer “secure” fax, the transmission is not nearly as protected as you may think. That’s why we re-thought the process of secure fax making it easier for you to share time-sensitive information without worrying about security issues.
You can still fax from your mobile device by adding an attachment or taking a picture, then using our business fax feature, we will send your message. We’re not really into slinging faxes into cyberspace without all the added safety features. We encrypt the transmission and store your data in our super-secure cloud-based server. Some in the office lovingly refer to this server as “the vault”. Your business fax message doesn’t leave our vault. The recipient of your message then receives instructions with a 2-step verification process for accessing your secure fax message from our vault. It is only available for a specified time frame and then our program encrypts the file once again and locks it up safe.

Phones. Made Simple

Mango Voice lays it out on your cloud-based business phone system couldn’t be easier. Quickly see a list of your files and access them whenever you need. We’ll worry about all the locks and keys and keep your files safe. Trust me, this process is easier than trying to guess if your fax machine is confirming that you sent your fax transmission while the person on the other end watches their machine blink and squeak. Oh, and good luck knowing if you inverted those last two digits. Perhaps the people at that misdialed number will enjoy your message?
Don’t let fax machine security risk happen at your small business. Find a better way to send business fax messages. Do it even better with Mango Voice and save time, money and your ear lobes. Mango Voice offers a full list of features with all of our small business phone system plans.

4 Steps to Simplify Your Business – Put Your Business Phone System to Work!

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https://mangovoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/business-phone-system-mango-voice.jpg” alt=”business phone system” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] [/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]
Look, if it was so easy to turn a dime, everyone would be a business owner. Truth is, making money can be complicated. The business phone system part doesn’t need to be! There are a lot of acronyms to memorize (or pretend like you know), forms to fill out, and bills to pay. I’m sure you’ve seen PBX, ISP, VoIP… what do all these business phone system acronyms mean?  Don’t over complicate things with complex solutions and rooms full of servers. Sometimes it helps to gain a little perspective. Take a step back and evaluate things from a different angle. Let’s discuss 4 simple steps to simplify your business and get ahead of the game.

The Evolution of the Business Phone System

I still remember my first job years back and the scary server room. It buzzed and emitted heat. We employed a part-time technician to oversee our phone servers and he performed miracles that still have me dumbfounded. And yet those phones still glitched out, went down, had moments of terrible quality and at times the caller id (ya, remember that?) wouldn’t work so I felt totally blind as the secretary.
The new business phone systems are on another level. No more server rooms and part-time magician/technicians. Now those talented people are making features in the cloud and we’re all enjoying them instantly with no downtime and effortless calling. And the quality? It’s amazing. And if I’m chewing too loud to catch the last few digits of that very important number? I have that call recorded. It’s everything. Let’s discuss some of the key features that you can’t live without and why the new business phone systems are what you need in your life.
Business owners, take notes. We’ll look at making communicating with your customers easy, more efficient and that only increases the black numbers on your tax forms. We’ll not only cover some of the confusing details in the business phone system world, but we’ll also try to help explain some general tips to making business life a little easier.
Here are 4 Steps to Simplify Your Business:

  1. Streamline your communication systems.
  2. Consolidate services.
  3. Keep relationships that return value.
  4. Utilize new technology – stay up to date!

 

Streamline Your Communication Systems

If you aren’t communicating with your customers or clients, you probably aren’t doing business. Luckily, communicating in our modern world couldn’t be any easier. In fact, with VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) business phone systems from Mango Voice, you can have an entirely customizable business phone system in place tomorrow. Not kidding. It’s plug and play. Not only is it super easy to set up, as in take the phone out of the box and plug it in, but you can also utilize cutting edge technology with a very user-friendly interface.
Part of streamlining your communication systems also means updating some of your old practices. Instead of having your business phone ring and ring and ring with no answer, your phone number can now ring to your cell phone. It can also ring to your assistant’s cell phone. Better yet, the business phone system that Mango Voice has to make all this happen is drag and drop.
business phone system drag and drop feature auto attendant mango voice
Features like “Drag and Drop” make using Mango Voice so easy. This image shows one example of just how easy it can be to set up and auto attendant for an example business phone system.
Another example of streamlining communication: Fax. Yes, we know you “business types” still use it. Yes, we know it uses a phone line. But did you know that we have an awesome solution for that, too? Fax to email. No messy papers cluttering your office! You can still play nice with the companies, affiliates, clients and customers that love to fax and we won’t tell them how easy we’ve made if for you to fax correspondence to them while you are sipping your coffee with your feet up.

Consolidate Your Services

Which really just means that you don’t want to go to twelve different places when you can go to 4 and get the same stuff. Once you find a reliable ISP (here we go with acronyms, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This one is “Internet Service Provider” in case you haven’t memorized it and aced the quiz yet), there are many services that you can utilize from that one connection. You no longer need a separate phone line. Consolidating to one line means less wire to run and more functionality. Remember that fax line we just talked about? That’s right! You really don’t need it! There are many services that operate “in the cloud”. Instead of keeping discs or buying expensive software, now companies sell subscriptions to their cloud-based software or services through cloud servers. There aren’t server farms actually located in the heavens but people have founds ways to consolidate services and the savings there can be heavenly. Instead of having several personal servers, they all got together to form a business to host professional servers for others to utilize. This means less downtime, more security, and better service. It’s a win for everyone.
Finding services that are cloud-based saves money, time and provides an ease of use for more users. Mango Voice is proud to offer a business phone system that is cloud-based so we can do all of the above and then some to save you, the business owner, time and money. We can offer a huge list of features and include it with every single customer’s service and it’s no extra cost. You get all the functionality that you can dream of, customize and tailor to fit your unique business flow all because our software is up and ready to go when you are. This also means that all those lame technical glitches that you may have experienced with business phone systems in the past are non-existent. Support is stellar, no downtime, what more could you need?

Keep Relationships That Return Value

Number 3; keep relationships that return value. One thing that Mango Voice prides itself on is providing an excellent product but an even more excellent experience. We’ve thought of every problem and found the solution. Because of that, the relationship that we have with each of our clients and customers is very synchronous. We work well together. We’re also big thinkers but we’re not bound down by large corporate bullies so we can actually do what we say we’re going to do when we say we’re going to do it. It’s just good business.  By doing business with companies like ours, your business will profit not only because you’ll be making more money, but because we can’t help but spread the seeds of success to everyone we work with.
So to put it simply, we deliver an excellent product, so you can deliver excellent service. Communication is key to delivering the best customer service, especially when you are doing business over the phone. With VoIP services like Mango Voice and all the customizable features that are included, you can truly meet your potential in optimal communication with your customer base.

Utilize New Technology – Stay Up To Date

Last but not least, let’s talk tech. I know, its hard to stay on top of all the new technology. Despite the ever-changing industry, it is wise to stay up to date on all the tech trends. The newer technology is more intuitive than ever and doesn’t take quite that much effort to adjust to.  Then add all of the new features that come with it and you won’t even have to think about business phone systems, it will just be second nature.
Let’s say, for example, your business has a heavy focus on sales. You have a small sales team with 3-4 sales people that you’d like to share incoming calls with. With other business phone systems, you may start to encounter trouble right from the word go. But with Features like “Call Queues” with Mango Voice, this is actually no problem at all. You can set your team up to “round robin” with the phones, have the system ring the sales person with the least amount of talk time first, start with the sales person that has had the fewest calls or assign a specific ring order based on your custom specifications. Now your sales team will get calls fairly and you don’t have to worry about how to break up phone calls.
Running a business can be difficult, but answering your phones doesn’t have to be. Be smart, let us help you make the most of your communication time with your over-the-phone customers. Setup is painless, it won’t break your budget and the list of features will make the transition worth it! Every business owner needs the right business phone system to save them time and deliver the best service.

The Power Of VoIP Phones For Your Business

The Power of VoIP

If you haven’t notice lately there is a lot of chatter about VoIP phone services and their benefits. If you do not know what VoIP is, then you definitely don’t know what you are missing.
The definition of VoIP, is Voice Over Internet Protocol. This means that instead of your phone/voice service going over copper lines, it goes over the internet. VoIP has opened up opportunities that will take the phone industry into a new era of phone service. For starters out of the gate it removes the limitations traditional service produces while at the same time proving to be a less expensive alternative.

Traditional phone systems and service:

Before VoIP you could only get phone service from a local phone company. Each line costs $45 a month but then you could only make or receive one call on that line at a time which then meant you had to buy more lines. Then, if you wanted, voicemail, long distance, and caller ID it cost $65-$80 per line. The average 5 line service costs $325 a month for dial tone a 3 basic features. If you wanted more features a phone system was required. The average cost of a phone system with 10 phones would run you initially $10,000. On top of that you would have to pay an IT company to maintain the system and over time that got pricey.
The problem with this solution is…

  • too expensive
  • too hard to add features
  • you can’t scale without spending a fortune to upgrade your system
  • you’re limited to phone lines
  • charged long distance
  • 100% liability of the system crashing is on you.

The alternative:

VoIP is easily the best phone solution on the market today. It offers virtually no limitations. With it you get unlimited lines (meaning no more busy signals), free long distance, and can add features as they come out at no cost to you. In addition you receive online access to customize the service to meet your business’s needs. VoIP also offers unified communication (meaning you can sync your desk phone, laptop, and cell phone to work together to make sure your customers get to you and not your voicemail). This has proven to increase sales opportunities.
VoIP is again the best solution because it unifies your communication, simply connects multiple locations, offers 100’s of features, includes backup systems, removes limitations, and provides online access for quick adjustments. If you are considering switching to VoIP you would join the 100’s of thousands of small, medium, and large business who have already done so. Stop working for your phone system and let your phone system work for you.

How Your Phone System Can Increase Your Marketing Effectiveness By 400%

Increase your Marketing effectiveness by 400%
Case Study – Home Remodeling Company
Infinity by Marvin Dealer has been in the home remodeling business for 30 years. They have used varied marketing techniques including call center selling teams with sophisticated dialers and other phone systems to increase their dialing effectiveness. In a recent meeting with their call center agents, they noticed a heightened level of enthusiasm and energy because their appointment set rate (the rate at which they can successfully schedule an appointment) had increased tremendously! A review of their processes and systems, revealed an amazing and unique contributor to the changes in sales team dynamics.
You see, in recent weeks, management subscribed to Mango Voice’s Local Presence service. Mango Voice Local Presence service enables a company to dynamically change their caller ID to a local area code instead of showing a 1-800 number when a call center agent calls a customer. This small, inexpensive yet dynamic change has yielded incredible results!
The first measurable difference was a dramatic increase in the contact rate (the percentage of customer answering their phone). Infinity by Marvin Dealer saw their contact rate go from 10% to 40% immediately! In other words, customers were more likely to answer the phone when a local number appeared on their caller ID.
The company also noticed a significant difference in customer attitudes on the phone. They found that when customers answered a call from a local number, they were less guarded and more friendly. Customers were more receptive and agents were able to have more positive interactions with customers. Agent productivity increased through positive energy and greater enthusiasm, which contributed to more sales opportunities and future contacts.
The local presence service provided by Mango Voice gave the company greater credibility and increased their immediate value to the customer. In addition, customers did not question the agent as to the location of the company or the company’s ability to serve their needs. These two factors led to a 400 % increase in the number of appointment set by agents. The return call rate from customers who missed the initial contact call also increased to a rate nearly 3.5 times greater than previous return call rates. This means that customers were more likely to call a local number back when the call was missed.

What is VoIP

Get ready to change the way you think about your current long-distance phone plan!
What is VoIP? Literally, it’s Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP takes the analog audio signals from your phone line and transmits them across the internet.
Just think of all the convenience of the internet and how easily you can place calls from your business and avoid the nasty long distance charges from the phone companies. Phone companies are already using VoIP to streamline their long distance phone calls, but they haven’t updated their prices to save you money.

Business VoIP System

VoIP is a revolutionary business technology and it’s taking the world by storm, re-inventing the entire way you use phone lines in your offices. Because it’s digital, the phones themselves can be like little computers. They can offer advanced features that no other phone system can! Such as voicemail to email, call forwarding, high-quality conference calling, and so much more!

With all other VoIP you get limited features, no matter how many lines you sign up for with Mango Voice you get all our features as well as any new feature we develop. The best part of a VoIP Phone System, is that when we need to upgrade your phones it’s as simple as a digital download. No expensive fees, servers, and phone techs taking up your time and money!
