Ever listen to a group of people talking about how great it would be to start a business? You can always tell the ones who have never come close, because their rationale for doing it is so they can do whatever they want, whenever they want.
Of course, anyone who’s actually done it knows how untrue that concept is. Yes, time is a precious commodity for anyone in a small business. That’s what makes the call screening features in my1voice so great. They allow you to use the time you have available more effectively, both on a professional level and personal level.
With superior call screening features you'll have total control of your incoming calls. For example, with the call announce feature you can set up my1voice to ask the caller to state his/her name. When you answer the call, you hear that quick recording, which allows you to decide whether to take the call or send it to voicemail. It’s perfect for anyone who needs to take customer calls but can let others wait until later. If you don’t want to be quite so obvious, you can also opt to have the caller ID number announced instead. Same effect, but without the caller being aware he/she has been screened.
A feature that helps users separate “business time” from the “me time” we all need is caller ID tagging. Say you’re using your mobile line as both a personal and business phone. A call comes in while you’re out celebrating your favorite sport team’s latest victory. If it’s a personal call, no problem. But if it’s a business call, answering it in the midst of the hoopla may not be the impression you want to leave with the caller. With caller ID tagging you can see whether the call came direct to your mobile number or through my1voice so you can answer it appropriately – or let it go to voicemail if needed.
We definitely live in a connected world. That’s good a lot of the time, but not always. Many of the features of my1voice are designed to help you manage your connections more effectively so you can use your time wisely.
