Businesses help the world go round, and in particular, small businesses do a lot of the heavy-lifting. In the U.S., there are over 4 million small businesses, if you define a small business as having nine or less employees. If you count small businesses as employing less than 500 people--as the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy does--then 99.7% of all businesses are small businesses. And just so we don't get too narrow in our views (we are an internationally-minded service and company), small businesses spur on economies and businesses around the world. According to the "World Economic Outlook" report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), "growth in emerging and developing economies is expected to ease modestly but remain robust in both 2008 and 2009." No doubt scores of small businesses are essential to that growth.
If you're an owner or part of a small business, you probably know that technology can really help the company, but you're too busy juggling multiple tasks to have time to explore new options. So, we pulled together a short list to give you the highlights of how jaxtr can help your business grow and keep you connected anywhere in the world.
1. Convert More Traffic, More Quickly
When potential customers are ready to contact you, you don't want to make them wait. With a jaxtr widget on your Web site or blog, people can directly call you or your office (much like an 800 number, but without the cost). This can help increase conversion of impatient purchasers and inquirers who don't want to search for your contact info or fill out a lengthy email contact form. When you register for jaxtr, you'll be guided through posting the widget, and once it's up on your site, blog, and/or social profiles, you'll be that much more connected to the Web and your customers. After all, a call is much closer to a sale than an email.
2. Save Money
For small businesses that have regular international calls, jaxtr can help save your company money. Plus, if your clients and business contacts join up on jaxtr, you can potentially increase the savings further. You can see our rates for the 220 different countries in which we offer service at this rates link.
3. Your On-The-Go Phone
We know that you don't have time to be at your computer to get calls, so we took care of that problem. With jaxtr, you can route your calls directly to your mobile phone. Plus, you don't need to download any software onto your computer or your phone. So, you can stay on-the-go taking care of business, and jaxtr will keep you connected.
4. Global Voicemail
So long as you have Internet access, you'll be able to check your voice mail anywhere around the world. And it doesn't matter what phone you're carrying, you'll have just one voice mail box. That's pretty convenient, huh?
5. Follow Me Number
You can add three numbers in to your jaxtr account and set it up to route calls to different numbers depending on your needs. Working from home for the week? Make your home landline phone your default number. Tied to your desk for awhile? Send your jaxtr calls to your business phone. It's as easy as adding a number to your account and selecting it from a drop-down menu.
