The problem with having your personal number handed out to your customers:

1. Your personal voicemail is not professional. It’s fine for your friends and family but if you want to earn the trust of another business you have to show you are a business.
2. Having just your personal phone number and voicemail for your business gives the impression you cut corners. 
3. If you do grow your business you do not want your customers calling your ex-employees personal phone number.
4. The business phone number can be directed anywhere, including your cell phone, business voicemail and  Attendant Menu.

Solution:

Get a Business Phone App that includes a business phone number for as little as $9.95 a month. 

Here are a few features that come on a Business Phone App and their advantages. 

1. An Attendant Menu 

             Thanks for calling Acme Corp press 1 for sales, 2 for support, 3 for billing..

             Advantage: An Attendant Menu adds the look and feel of a business that is up and running

1.  Your Business Phone App will ring differently than your cell phone. So when your app rings you know not to answer “who dis”?. You know you have to answer a little more professionally. If you like. “Thanks for calling Acme Corp, this is Jon, how can I help you”?
2. 
    Onboarding new employees is simple. All you have to do is have the new employee add the app from the app store on their smartphone 

      4.  And when your employees leave, you can continue to receive their business calls on your phone, instead of your customers walking out the door with your ex-employee’s personal cell phone number.
