Do 1300 Numbers give your business an unfair advantage?

A potential customer is looking for a product or service that you provide.

They've found a list of providers by searching the Internet or local paper. These all look pretty good to them, with similar prices and good reviews from customers. The first business they call is going to have the best chance to make the sale.

So, how do you put your business at the top of their list?

Most people's first call is to the business that looks most trust-worthy and professional. It could be the company with the best web site or the one that uses the friendliest wording in their advertising or the one with the professional-looking phone number.

Yes, having the right phone numbers can make a difference! We've heard from many customers that they've seen an immediate increase in calls and sales after switching from a mobile phone number to a 1300 Number for their businesses.

So, what can a 1300 Number do for your business?
