A Phone system is crucial for your business as it is one of the many ways customers communicate with you. Omni Hotline call forwarding feature allows you to route incoming calls from your TM Businessline back to other lines or employees, connecting customers correctly.
Here are some reasons on how this call forwarding feature could benefit your business:
1. Maintain Availability
As working remotely is more widely adopted than ever before, call forwarding helps to maintain your business availability. Important incoming calls can be answered even when nobody is physically present at the office.
2. Increase Flexibility and Mobility
If your business requires traveling from time to time, you can forward incoming calls to your employee’s mobile number. Call forwarding facilitates employee mobility without the risk of missing any important calls.
3. Avoid Voicemails
Although voicemails are able to send messages, it might not provide your customers with the confidence of sharing their thoughts or questions. Customers may hesitate to leave voicemails containing private information. With call forwarding, customers are directed to the designated departments and available representatives, facilitating a smoother communication process.
4. Improve Customer Service
Unanswered calls might leave you with a bad first impression. With a smart call routing feature, you can keep in touch with customers any time of the day, let them choose who they wish to speak to, and forward calls to the right department. Not only during business hours, but you can also inform your customers on when to call again if they reach out after business hours. Call forwarding helps create a rich relationship between your business and customers.
