Eliminating Robocalls at your Business
The time spent dealing with robocalls can be frustrating and take away from business productivity, especially for small business owners who may be asking employees to step away from work to answer phones. One simple solution to eliminate those robocalls is to utilize your phone’s auto attendant feature. Auto attendant is pretty common on most business phones. The way it works is that you essentially trick the robocaller by forcing it to make a selection.
When a call comes in, it goes to the auto attendant, which is essentially a list of choices. For instance, the auto attendant could ask the caller to, “press 1 for sales, press 2 for service, or press 3 to speak to an office assistant.” By creating this selection menu, you set up a system that will cause the robocalls to be dropped. Robocalls are not designed to make a selection, so the call does not go through and your employees are not interrupted from their work to deal with unnecessary calls. Contact RanderCom if you need assistance setting up auto attendant on your phone.

Outsourcing IT for your Small Business
As a small business owner, you have many things to think about other than just your products or services. In our technology age, IT is one of those components of business that cannot be avoided. But who has the time and resources to hire an IT specialist? Outsourcing your IT has many benefits, but the two most significant benefits of outsourcing your small business IT are outlined below.
- COST!
Hiring an on-site IT employee can be extremely costly. In addition to an added salary, you need to make sure your IT specialist has the necessary equipment and most up-to-date training. Outsourcing your IT allows you to transfer what would be a fixed cost to a variable cost that you can budget for appropriately. Therefore, you have more control to pay for what is needed. - Quality and Experience
Do you understand IT lingo? How do you know what qualifications to look for when you are hiring? Outsourcing your IT guarantees that your business IT needs will be in the hands of an expert who has experience. By outsourcing your IT, you can focus your time and energy on your business goals rather than IT decisions.

5 Reasons to Switch your Small Business Phone to VoIP
This video explains how switching your business phones to a VoIP system can save you time and money! VoIP systems are a popular choice as a small business phone system because they offer advanced features at an affordable cost.
Why Having a Business Phone System is Important
In the age of the internet, it’s easier than ever for businesses to communicate with just about anybody in the world through text or email. We’ve grown accustomed to typing a message and having it arrive to its designated receiver in seconds. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the desire for personal interaction. In a world where it’s becoming increasingly common to be sent an email or be directed through an impersonal, robotic automated operator, any business who integrates a phone system is a step above the rest in terms of team communication and customer satisfaction. The way businesses interact with people – whether internally, or with its customers, speaks volumes, and the ability to call and connect with somebody has the potential to greatly enrich the customer experience. A business phone system may not seem like a drastic improvement, but it offers a lot of benefits to small businesses.
- Phone systems provide customers a secure and reliable way to communicate with members of your team. Giving your company a voice can help improve customer service, as well as increase sales.
- Having one centralized phone system is more cost effective and less of a security risk than paying for a mobile line for every team member. It is also easy to add more lines to the phone system as your company expands.
- Seamlessly connect team members to ensure that every person on your team is only a phone call away. Business phone systems makes team members accessible, and improves communication to keep your company operating smoothly and help it reach its full potential.

What is VoIP?
What it is:
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a service which allows you to wirelessly make phone calls over IP networks such as the internet. Through the use of an application or adaptor, you no longer need to rely on a traditional telephone line or long-distance service to communicate. As long as you have access to high speed internet, VoIP makes it possible to convert verbal communication into digital signals which is then sent to its designated receiver before being converted into a regular telephone signal. Because of this, people are now able to make calls anywhere.
What this means:
With VoIP, no matter where you are in the world, as long as you have access to a smart phone with VoIP capabilities or an application from a VoIP expert, you have the ability to reach your consumer. VoIP allows businesses to interact with customers as if they were in the same city, when they may be on the other side of the world. Through the use of VoIP systems, businesses are now able to break into markets previously unavailable to them, and are able to provide products and services no matter where their consumer is located. For local businesses, VoIP has the potential to provide global visibility and greater accessibility.
What you need:
To begin making calls using VoIP, you’ll need access to high speed internet. Additionally, an adaptor or special phone may be required. Providers of VoIP services will work with you to figure out the best way for you to begin communicating to your global audience. If your company is ready to embrace this new technology and start making a global impact, RanderCom can help.
