A Reliable Tool for the Customer-Driven Business
Overall Satisfaction with Google Voice
At our office, I'm using Google Voice as a second line on my existing smartphone so I can differentiate personal calls from work calls. As an insurance producer and office manager, I am responsible for fielding calls from customers, staff and insurance companies. With Google Voice, I'm able to have a sperate voicemail box, text message inbox, and phone number so I don't have to give out my personal number.
Pros
- The separate phone number for work versus personal use.
- Completely independent voicemail message and inbox.
- The ability to answer calls and messages on the computer or mobile device.
- An email version of the voicemail if one is left.
Cons
- I think there is room to improve with regards to call forwarding.
- I wish there were a concise way to know if the call was to your Google Voice number or your personal number before answering the call.
- when I add a contact to my account on the web it doesn't seem to sync with my phone even though the same email address is logged in.
- Google Voice has allowed us to service our clients and corporate relationships better.
- The savings from Google Voice has allowed us to reinvest in other areas of our business.
- We have seen a significant increase in customer satisfaction after the implementation of Google Voice.
Google Voice was a superior product in our opinion to some that we looked at because of its versatility and ease of implementation. Not only were those big determinants in our decision, but the cost-effectiveness of the program played a major role in our decision. Some of the other options we looked at had limited functionality for the cost.

In all honesty, you just need one team member that is comfortable with trying new software and capable of browsing the web to find answers to questions they might have. There isn't a large need for technical knowledge to implement or support Google Voice, but there is a need to be willing to try something new.
