With regard to small business owners, the idea of acquiring a small business phone system set up is usually exciting.

After all, an effective organization needs to have an open form of communication not simply with a client, but within the organization itself. However, unless you are a skilled phone system operator, there are some mistakes a new owner can make. Issues that can mean the difference between profit and failure.

Below are the top 3 mistakes an owner must avoid when setting up a phone system and installing Phone Lines.

1. Ensure that you know the precise type and number of phone lines you will be using for your company. It’s simple really, the more additional phone lines you have, the more you pay for leasing lines you don’t need. Alternatively, if you have too little phone lines, you will discover yourself developing a communications bottleneck, with several of your staff sitting idly waiting for the next phone line to be available, not to mention having calls meant for one department getting sent to another because the first one is being used. It may be frustrating really. So make sure beforehand what type and how many you phone lines you need to avoid such mishaps.

2. The second mistake to steer clear of is agreeing to timed phone calls in 20 second to 1 minute blocks. What this means is that a 5 second call will cost the same as a 20 second or 1 minute call, depends on what you have agreed on. This of course means a great deal of wasted funds. So when agreeing with the phone company, make sure that you sign up with the timed calls that are billed in 1 second increments. This ensures that you pay only for what you use, and that you have no extraneous billings you don’t need.

3. The third mistake a new small business phone system owner should steer clear of is not getting a business phone plan match their call spending. What you want to do is making sure you are getting the lowest per minute call rates for the most common call types you will need. If you want to make international calls, make certain your plan favors that type. If you are using it for local calls, then pick the plan that matches with it. Otherwise, you might be spending for something that you are not using and therefore accumulating a expenses that isn’t justified. Which may seem like highway robbery in the part of the telco, but in actuality you are at fault.

Naturally there are many more areas to consider when getting a business phone system, like choosing the right telco, choosing the one with the right service support and many others, but the top three are the ones you should take note of since they can cause quite a headache if left to run wild. But in the end, it all boils down to what you and your small business phone system needs are. Of course it goes without saying that one must practice good common sense when choosing, after all, if you are smart enough to run a small business, you are smart enough to choose the right system.
