You can start by determining the points of contact that will be available to your customers and evaluate the level of service necessary for your business. Below are questions that may be useful in assessing your business communication needs:

Telephone Assessment:
  • What type of telephone services fit the needs of your small business?
  • For example, is voice mail adequate or would a 24/7 response to customers be better suited?
  • Is call waiting working for you or is several phone lines necessary for your client communication?
  • If telephone service is essential to your business, have you rated telephone providers and their level of service?
  •  Is hiring personnel to answer phones the right option for you or is outsourcing an option to consider?

 

Email Assessment:
  • If you are sending mass emails, do you have the adequate tools to manage responses?
  • What are the data storage requirements for your business? Is privacy a concern?
  • Does email need to be stored on your own server versus cloud solutions?

 

Texting Assessment:
  • If you are sending mass texts what should you look for in a service provider?
  • Do you have the adequate tools to manage responses?
  • Is data storage and ease of use important to your business?

 

Fax Assessment:
  • Is faxing still essential to your business needs?
  • What outbound versus inbound needs do you have?
