They didn\u2019t want to invest in a traditional PBX phone system as it couldn\u2019t transfer calls to their staff. A friend recommended an internet based system and explained that it was more flexible for call management. Using RingCentral, MountainSun never misses a call because every call is managed to ensure a member of staff is available to answer it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc_custom_video\"><a class=\"rc_custom_video__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtu.be\/dGoORiSEm6I\">\n\t\t            <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/dGoORiSEm6I\/maxresdefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rc_custom_video__media\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/dGoORiSEm6I\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t            <\/picture>\n\t\t        <\/a><br \/>\n\t\t        <button class=\"rc_custom_video__button\" aria-label=\"Play video\"><svg width=\"68\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\"><path class=\"rc_custom_video__button-shape\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\"><\/path><path class=\"rc_custom_video__button-icon\" d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t        <\/button>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><strong>Tip 2: Keep finances transparent for better budgeting and management of cash flow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Safesip\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/whyringcentral\/casestudies\/safesip.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Safesip<\/a> did not consider a traditional PBX because the cost and resources to buy, manage and maintain it were too prohibitive. Instead they opted for <a title=\"RingCentral UK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/product-overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RingCentral<\/a>\u2014a cloud system\u2014where pricing is more flexible and transparent. You only pay for what you use; and there is a single monthly payment plan, which includes landline and mobile minutes. The main benefit for Safesip is that there is no capital costs and a predictable monthly payment, which helps with budgeting and managing cash flow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 3: Use a high quality service to ensure an exceptional experience for customers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For <a title=\"Fargo Systems\" href=\"http:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/case_studies\/fargo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fargo Systems<\/a> having a reliable and high quality voice service, so it could provide customers with an exceptional experience was really important.

Fargo Systems is pleased with its RingCentral service levels, and in turn, their customers never have trouble contacting or speaking to Fargo Systems.<\/p>\n<p><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" title=\"RingCentral Cloud PBX Solution Overview\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/__0SPHdidMs?start=17&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong> Tip 4: Try before you buy; if it doesn\u2019t work for you, it won\u2019t work for your staff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Control Freq\" href=\"http:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/case_studies\/control_freq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Control Freq<\/a> was not sure if a cloud solution was right for business so it started out with a 30-day free trial, with RingCentral. The implementation team was set up with their chosen phone and fax number in a few minutes. Staff downloaded the <a title=\"RingCentral mobile app\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/rcmobile\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mobile app<\/a> on their iPhone and used the <a title=\"ringcentral softphone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/real-time-control\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">softphone<\/a> on their laptop. The trial worked so well that the business ordered a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/what-is-a-voip-phone.html\">internet phones<\/a> that arrived the next day. RingCentral is now rolled out to all staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 5: Make sure you can seamlessly connect staff and customers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Naked Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/whyringcentral\/casestudies\/nakedwines.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NakedWines.com<\/a>, a customer funded wine business, has staff located in the UK, USA and Australia, and wanted to make sure there was a seamless connection between staff amongst each other and customers. RingCentral provided a single <a title=\"Business Freephone Numbers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/gb\/en\/office\/features\/freephone-numbers\/overview.html?BMID=BLOGNEW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1-800 number<\/a>, so the company can overflow all the calls between the US and UK. Their customers now always speak to a person instead of a machine when they call. Additionally, because RingCentral is a cloud-based solution, NakedWines.com was able to integrate its own customer relationship management system with RingCentral, so it can initiate calls directly, which makes it easier for staff to call customers and reduce miss-dials.<\/p>\n<p><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" title=\"RingCentral Office Integrations with Salesforce, Box, Dropbox &amp; Microsoft Office\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bi_DQh3W_Aw?start=11&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, small companies are under intense pressure to grow their business fast, deliver exceptional customer service and to beat their larger competitors.
