Well hello again! How has your week been going so far? I hope it’s been well. Sooooo……when I started my consulting business in 2009, I was looking for a cost-effective solution phone system solution that would help me present a professional small business image to my clients.
Since I was running my business on a shoestring budget, I knew that I needed something that would not cost me a ton of money. After scouring the internet for a bit…I ran across an amazing phone solution called a Virtual Office Phone System.

A virtual office phone system is quite simply an internet-based phone system that allows you to connect with your staff using one number – either a local or toll-free number.
7 Benefits of a Virtual Office Phone System
