Still Your Best Toll Free Option

Could your business benefit from having a toll free number? Perhaps you already have toll free service, but are looking at getting a better deal or upgrading to more numbers. What service makes the most business sense these days?

If you’ve never had a toll free number and aren’t positive that it will make a significant impact on your business, the best thing to do is get in cheap without making any long term commitments. That way you can test the waters and see what happens. So, how do you do that?

Kall8 offers an outstanding package of toll free services that has been popular for years. It's had staying power because you get a lot for a little with no contractual commitments.

Here’s how it works. Your lowest cost option is to pick one of the 866, 877, or 888 toll free numbers that are all set up and ready to go. It’s like visiting the toll free supermarket. Just take a number that looks good to you off the shelf and put it in your shopping cart. When you check out, you’ll fork over all of $2. That’s right, two bucks.

What do you get for your toll free $2? You get to have calls to that number ring to a phone of your choice as soon as your order is complete. That can be your office phone, home phone or cell phone. Change that option to a different phone whenever you like, even in the middle of the night. You have an online portal that gives you complete control of your toll free number 24/7.

This is huge for mobile professionals, like consultants or real estate agents. Give everybody your toll free number, set it to the phone you are at, and you’ll never miss a call. If you do happen to be busy, calls will go to your toll free voicemail. You can call in and get messages at your leisure, listen to them online, or... get this... have the sound file sent to your email. Wait! It gets better. If anyone sends a FAX message to your toll free number, you can read that message online or also have it sent to your email.

How much does this really cost? It’s $2 to get the number. Then $2 a month to maintain service plus the cost of incoming calls. Most calls, originating in the 48 contiguous US states, are 6.9 cents a minute. There’s a modest surcharge for Alaska and Hawaii. If you decide you don’t want service anymore, then cancel it. All you owe is for what you’ve been using.

How can Kall8 make an offer like this? It’s because once you have the service you’ll want to keep it forever. Since you are only paying a couple of bucks a month plus the cost of calls, the bill for your toll free service only goes up when you get more calls. More calls mean more business, so you can easily afford the calling cost. It’s one sweet deal.

iTelecenter Boosts Real Estate Agent Income

If you sell real estate for a living, you probably think that describing home sales as a disaster is putting in mildly. It's easily the worst market in a generation. But you still need a way to put food on the table. If only technology could provide you with an edge...

Well perhaps it can. iTeleCenter has a toll-free real estate hotline and lead capture system that they designed in 1992 and have been deploying to top agents and brokers worldwide. A few years ago you might have yawned if you saw a story about this. After all, who needs more help when your phone is ringing off the hook already. But today any competitive edge is worth considering, especially if it's already proven itself in the market.

The TeleCenter Real Estate Pro multiplies the value of your telephone. It simplifies communication, increases your productivity, helps you generate more leads and increased listings, and track the effectiveness of your advertising to reduce costs.

This is a telephone tool, right? But not some complicated piece of equipment that you have to get wired up and programmed. The iTeleCenter hardware and software are remotely hosted and managed by professionals so you don't need anything more than the phones you already have. It will add features and consolidate all your different numbers so that buyers and sellers can reach you anywhere, anytime by calling a single number.

Let's look at that calling feature. Forget about having a bunch of different numbers on your business card. You have just one toll free number. Anyone who wants you will call that number from wherever they happen to be and get your message. They push "0" and your phone rings. It could be your home phone, office phone or cell phone. The system will forward the call to you wherever you happen to be.

How about getting more leads? iTeleCenter is also a hotline where you promote information on hot properties. Potential buyers call to hear what's available without feeling pressured to interact with an agent. If they want to speak with you immediately, they can press a button and do so. If not, the TeleCenter Real Estate Pro captures their phone number automatically and, if they are listed in the white or yellow pages of the phone book, it will even provide you with the name and address of the caller. How's that for a hot lead?

Ah, but what if someone want to send you a fax? No problem. They send it to your one published toll free number. They can also get faxes from you automatically. If they are interested in a particular property, all they have to do is push a button and a listing sheet will be automatically sent to their fax machine.

There's a lot more to this and if you are in real estate sales, direct marketing or any other business where lead generation and follow-up is key to your income, you should learn more about the TeleCenter Real Estate Pro from iTeleCenter. It could be just the edge you need in today's tough markets.
