You Can Afford Up To Date Telecom Services

Up To Date Equals Better Business! It’s no longer a secret that the world of technology, especially telecommunications is moving at the speed of light. We’re hearing about the Cloud, mobile technologies, new features in VoIP and SIP Trunking. All this can be to your benefit and yet many businesses are not making the move to update their systems or integrate their technology with the growth of their business. Even small to medium business can afford the latest Telecom services.

The pendulum is swinging in your favor folks. Now is the time to push for updating and get ahead of the curve.

Technologies to consider:

  • Unique Marketing tools-mobile driven advertising/marketing platform with automatic alerts/notices . Allows you to reach your audience without them having to search for you. Easy and cost effective. No need for brick and mortar and can make a business appear bigger than it is. https://nwmap.com/nw-map-offers-innovative-marketing-tools-businesses-can-harness-the-power-of-cloud-technology
  • Utilize Cloud Technology- it levels the playing field for small businesses. If you’re worried about security, don’t store confidential documents under your cloud storage. Otherwise it’s ideal to store, share and collaborate with others. https://nwmap.com/selling-the-cloud
  • Pick and choose. Some companies don’t need all the bells and whistles and others want to focus on little extras that are worth it to them. If you go through a Telecom Agent who is not affiliated with any one company, it can all be included in a package that’s right for your business specifically. We refer to it as our smorgasbord (or one stop shopping): https://nwmap.com/2013/04

How To Attract The Next Generation Workforce To Your Business

IT leaders have known for years the value and benefit of efficient and new technologies for businesses.
  • Being able to share information, globally if necessary.
  • Improve customer service
  • Increase productivity
  • Cut costs in several departments
  • Reduce carbon footprint
  • Reduce absenteeism
  • Business runs more efficiently
  • Improve communications

An additional benefit is attracting the new generations in the workforce to your business. These employees are tech savvy and greatly appreciate new and efficient technology. They work well in groups, requiring the appropriate technology to keep them connected. Video conferencing, virtual teams, telecommuting, email/voicemail technologies, and wireless devices attract the next generation who have the capabilities to transform your business.

Implementing  a new system or new technologies can require employee training and ongoing assurance of company-wide acceptance. The benefit of attracting the next generation workforce is adding an addition to your company that embraces new technologies. It opens a door to opportunities for companies and employees with various work arrangements, whether employees travel or work from home occasionally.

The benefits far outweigh any hesitation a business may have about implementing new technology. Often times, businesses are astonished by the money they save. Telecom Brokers at NWMAP save their clients money by having access to over 40 carriers in the Telecom business, negotiating prices with those carriers, and searching for specific packages that benefit the client’s business specifically. New technology should always benefit a business.

Acheive Better Customer Service With a Personalized Telecom Package

Nearing the end of 2010, we are reminded of all the businesses that failed during this recession. From these lessons should come the realization one notable factor will set you apart from the ones that have failed. Customer service. Customers want efficient, courteous, personalized, and hassle-free service. They can get your service or product from your competitors, but if you provide better service, they will go where they are appreciated. With all the competition in today’s industries, the ONLY factor setting you apart is great customer service.  

How do you acheive outstanding customer service?

  • Understand your customer’s preferences
  • look for opportunities to make your customers feel significant
  • form relationships an partnerships
  • set a high customer service standard
  • provide the tools for your employees; a personalized Unified Communications plan 

Let’s take a look at the last tip on the list; personalized Unified Communications plan. Why is this so relevant? Suppose you have employees who travel, upper level management spends significant time in conference calls, and you need to filter and prioritize incoming messages.  Features like videoconferencing calls have proven to cut down on travel costs, instant messaging and VoIP can cut down on phone bills, and business Ethernet can prioritize incoming information. Creating a more productive environment enables employees to provide better customer service, and increase your bottom line. 

At NWMAP, Telecom Brokers listen to you and identify your specific needs. They have access to over 40 carriers and they do the searching for you- best package, lowest cost.
