[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\"AccessDirect<\/a>AccessDirect has been providing cost-efficient hosted PBX services to small businesses since 1997, dedicated to helping\u00a0small businesses like yourself. Take a look at our video<\/a>, where we introduce you to Jim, a hard working person just like yourself, and see how we have helped people just like you.<\/p>\n

Jim recently started a new business from his home. In order to give his business a little extra power and make great first impressions on all his prospective customers, Jim turned to AccessDirect to make his business sound bigger.<\/p>\n

We knew just how to help, and set Jim up with a voicemail package that emails him every incoming message no matter where he is located. This allowed Jim to follow up on every lead and never lose a prospective customer, which encouraged new business growth. As Jim became busier and developed his customer base, his needs began to grow. So Jim came to AccessDirect again, and we set him up with a package that transfers his calls to him no matter where he is: the home, office, out in the field.<\/p>\n

How AccessDirect Helps Small Businesses Grow<\/h3>\n

With his ability to take more calls and communicate with further\u00a0customers, Jim closed more deals and continued to grow his business. With an increase in money coming in and all the new business, Jim decided to hire a small staff to help him handle everything. With employees to manage, Jim found himself in need of a bigger phone system and turned, once again, to AccessDirect. We set him up with a full auto attendant<\/a> program, complete with multiple extensions for each of his staff members. Each extension features call transfer and voicemail-to-email, allowing all members of the team to collaborate and stay in constant communication with each other and with customers no matter where they are located.<\/p>\n

But that’s not the end of Jim’s story. Jim continued to build his business, and the new staff helped contribute to its growth. He has grown his business to three new office branches, located in spots across the country. In order to help his business see continued success, Jim turned to AccessDirect again. We helped him tie together all of his locations under one phone number with our nationwide network. Having this sort of communication system set up, Jim benefits from a consistent brand and image that his customers receive.<\/p>\n

We understand the importance of effective communication, and we believe that even the smallest businesses should be able to receive the benefits of a big-company phone system. With a small business phone system, you get the same cutting-edge technology that the big corporations enjoy so your small business can look as big as a Fortune 500 company.[\/vc_column_text]
