Is “on hold” silence stifling your sales & service?
Add music on hold!
 
You spend so much money in advertising your products and services to attract customer calls so why place them in "Silence Hold" while you are engaged with another customer? 
 
Most NEC systems come with the capability to use a “music on hold” or messaging source out of the box.  
 
Why should you consider the music on hold feature for your business?
 
 

Based on AT&T research:  

 
- 70% of all calls are placed "On-Hold"
- 75% of these calls will end up as an abandoned call
- "The average person spends 100 hours per year on-hold"
- "Without music or messages, 70% of those on-hold will hang up and 35% won't call back"
 
Cellular Marketing Magazine:  
 
"Over 90% of callers prefer on-hold messages over silence" 
 Telemarketing Magazine: 
 
 "Surveys show that 25% to 40% of callers make purchases based on information they heard on-hold"

Minimize Downtime and Save Money with our Maintenance Plan

 
All of our maintenance plans guarantee a 2-4 hour response in a system emergency, and there are several types of maintenance plans available based on your business’ needs whether that be 24 x7 service or just a weekday support plan. 
 
In addition to piece of mind, our maintenance plans also deliver our customers a 15-20% discount on labor rates, a 10% discount on parts and priority scheduling for non-emergency service calls.  Tel-Comp Solutions encourages all of our customers to evaluate a maintenance plan for their system. 
 
We pride ourselves on a prompt response to all of our customer’s needs. However, some businesses have discovered the benefits of insuring their business communication system against unforeseen incidents.  If your business can survive without a phone for a day then a maintenance plan is probably not for you. If every hour your phone is down is critical to your business it is worth evaluating a maintenance plan.
 
Please call us today at 800-343-6858 to schedule a free system evaluation!

Are your System Batteries Prepared for the Next Power Outage? 

Have you ever replaced your system batteries?  If you are not sure, then they probably need to be swapped with brand new batteries to keep your system operational.  Most NEC systems come with gel cell batteries to keep your system running for a ½ hour during a power outage and also a Lithium CPU battery to retain your system programming.   NEC recommends that you replace your CPU battery every 2 years to make sure in the event of a power outage your system doesn’t lose its programming.  Don’t wait until the spring storm season to discover that you needed new system batteries.

If you would like to schedule an appointment to have your batteries replaced please give us a call today or remind us the next time that you need a new battery when you schedule an appointment .

 

Helpful Hints on using your Telephone System 

 

In order to help our customers reduce their service charges we will be providing a troubleshooting or feature tip in each newsletter.

  

You can’t make a phone call - Some basic things to check and who to call: 
 
 
  
 

Q: Are other phones in your office experiencing the same problem? 

A: If yes, continue to the next question. Otherwise this condition is most likely caused by a few things: a bad phone, a bad jack or a feature restriction. In any of these cases please call Tel-Comp Solutions to find out which next step to take. 

Q: Do the displays work on the phones?

A: If yes, continue to the next question. Otherwise this condition is most likely caused by a power issue in the phone closet. (i.e. the system is unplugged or there is a tripped circuit breaker, or a system failure) please call Tel-Comp Solutions immediately for additional assistance with troubleshooting.

Q: Can you make an intercom call?

A: If yes, you may want to call your carrier (Verizon, ATX, etc.) at this point to start troubleshooting your telephone service.   If you cannot make an intercom call please call Tel-Comp Solutions and schedule an appointment.
