The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions to businesses and their operations. With lockdowns and social distancing measures in place, it has become difficult for businesses to operate as usual. Lockdowns shouldn’t be an impediment for companies to continue offering the best customer service when forced to have staff work from home. However, cloud phones have emerged as a vital tool for businesses to continue serving their customers during these challenging times. Cloud phones are the solution for companies of all sizes and industries that are looking for low-cost, accessible, mobile, and flexible digital solutions that facilitate remote customer service.

Benefits of Cloud Phones

This blog post has the purpose of explaining the functions of RingOffice Cloud Phones that will allow your company to offer quality customer service. Here are some ways in which cloud phones have helped customers during COVID-19 lockdowns.

A missed call is a missed business opportunity. This is why with cloud phone systems you can create a pleasant customer service experience from the start of the call, even if you are not available to answer the call.

  • Even if you don’t have a receptionist, you can automate a virtual receptionist who directs your clients to the right person.
  • Customized Menus and greetings according to your unique schedule to make the experience more user-friendly
  • Call Queues so that if an employee is not available to answer, someone else can take the call
  • Voicemail to Email to make sure messages reach users’ inboxes without delay
  • Mobile Softphones allow your team to make and receive calls from their smartphones while keeping the company phone number.
