Taking calls with cell or Toll Free number?

Greg P.

I'm looking to wholesale properties and was wondering if it's better to just take the calls with my cell phones instead of a 1800, since this is my main focus anyway. In my personal experience 1800 numbers people don't feel like goin through the options and with a local number there might be more leads. I would like to know from a experienced investor. Thank you so much.

Ya, I agree with the 800#. Look at these quick benefits...

1. Even when callers BLOCK their number...you will SEE it

2. If the service you choose is good, you can set up mailbox extensions to relay sales messages when callers press the ext# you give them when they call

3. Set up an Ext just for you....AND have the calls forwarded to a cell if need be.

4. Set extensions for other team members

5. For marketing purposes...most prospects feel less threatened by calling an 800# FREE 24hour Recorded message (small marketing tip)

Man, I can probably name off a couple more if I keep going.

I've had my 800# service for YEARS and it's great.

I hope that helped you out.
