California virtual phone numbers

Have you been looking to establish a business presence in California? If so, one of the smartest ways to do so is by using California virtual phone numbers. These numbers allow you to make your business more efficient and personalized towards California markets, like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and more. To appreciate how virtual California numbers can influence your business strategies, it helps to understand just what virtual phone numbers do.

What is a Virtual Phone Number?

In the most basic sense, a virtual phone number allows your business to route phone calls to a destination phone number. Calls that originate in one location can be answered by others in another location.

Potentially, this enables calls to be made on behalf of your business (or for personal reasons). When a caller receives a call from a virtual phone number, it can be identical to the country that they are located in, building authenticity and trust with your potential clients. Vice versa, when a caller calls a virtual number, they won’t know exactly where the call is routed to, giving your potential customers the impression that your business is based locally.

With this in mind, there are many other benefits and applications to implementing California virtual phone numbers for your business. Now that you understand what a virtual phone number is, let’s take a look at the ways California virtual phone numbers can improve your organization.

What are the Selling Points of California Virtual Numbers?

Establishing a Business Presence: Using a California virtual phone number to connect with callers gives you the ability to connect with Californians without having to establish a brick and mortar presence or an office. Additionally, callers are much more likely to answer their phones if the call comes from a local number than a non-local one.

Personalization: Another selling point for California virtual phone numbers is that they allow your business to target specific markets, whether that comes from using toll free 1-800 lines or specified area codes where your customers are based. Many potential customers have a preference for calling local or toll-free numbers when they have finally made the decision to contact your business.

Cost Efficiency: California virtual phone numbers make it cheaper for your business to operate without accruing the charges that come from making non-local calls. For customers, they aren’t charged; instead, your business pays for the subscription. If your business operates outside of the United States, you can forego long-distance charges that may cost your business significantly.

Hardware Flexibility: Using California virtual phone numbers are a cinch because they are adaptable to your pre-existing hardware. Why? This is because California virtual phone numbers from Global Call Forwarding are not associated with a specific device or hardware. Instead, they are made available through cloud networking, allowing any device that can reach the cloud via wifi or other Internet connection the ability to use virtual phone numbers. Any device your business already uses can take advantage of virtual phone numbers, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, and traditional landlines.

This makes retrofitting your business significantly cheaper than if you were to need to purchase hardware.

Training: Bringing your employees up to speed with new skills to grasp the learning curve of new tech is a significant cost to your organization’s bottom line. By using Global Call Forwarding’s California virtual phone numbers, you can take advantage of an easy-to-use account management system. Combined with compatible devices that your business already uses, employee training time is substantially reduced. With California virtual phone numbers, all that your employees need is a compatible device to start handling your California-based customers.

An Example of Using a California Virtual Number

Looking for an everyday example of how California virtual phone numbers can expand your business?

Imagine that your surfboard company has decided to expand into new markets of customers in California, but your budget doesn’t allow you to physically expand beyond your headquarters in Florida. After purchasing a California virtual phone number, you list the number on your company’s website, displaying a “California location.” Callers begin placing orders, which are routed to your call center in Florida, and your sales team handles the new influx of customers. This allows you to seamlessly sell surfboards to new clients, whether they are located in lesser-known Californian economies like Redding, Chico, San Luis Obispo, Santa Monica, Sebastopol, as well as nationally-renowned metropolitan markets like Los Angeles and San Diego, without actually needing a physical presence there.
