Let's just face it. Nobody thinks about a landline today when you think
about phones. Technology and marketing has completely left out landlines for
the past few years. All we hear about is
cell phones and the latest greatest device we need to purchase. This often overrides the relevance of the phones
initial purposes, which is contact and communication.
When it comes to your business, how comfortable are you with knowing that
your calling abilities are subject to unstable conditions? How comfortable are
your clients with your entire business being mobile? Moreover how safe is your business being totally
mobile?
When dealing with cell phones there are too many possible pitfalls that
could occur during a crucial business moment for you. Dropped calls can be the
most underestimated killjoy of a business call, especially if you're in the
middle of receiving information from a client. This results due to weak cell
signals or poor coverage areas. Poor quality in certain areas also becomes a buzz
kill for clients. Really though, who wants to keep repeating themselves to
someone who wants their business, my money?
Another factor is the distractions that occur while on a mobile phone. The
distractions range from people around you talking to you, driving, texts coming
in, etc. Wouldn’t you rather be answering business calls in a business setting
on a designated business line?
Let’s mention battery life? Think about the T-Mobile commercial with Bill
Hader in which he is running from power outlet to power outlet in the office
trying to stay connected to a client, and then he eventually loses the client.
Can you really afford to re-enact this scene for yourself?
Consider the perception that your clients may have of your business being
solely on a mobile phone. What does it really say about your business? How much
easier is it to scam a person with a cell phone that is not as traceable as a landline?
Many are not comfortable with giving their hard earned money to somebody who is
not centrally located where they can contact them and see them when they need
to.
Mobile phones for your main business line just do not convey stability to
customers. Also consider the impact of not being registered in the phone book.
How does that impact your marketing? In America, your image is everything.
Also remember the security! The
landline provides a line that cannot be hacked as easily, making credit card
numbers and other information safe! You as
a business owner should feel just as cautious about your own banking info on a
mobile.
