Global Market Entry With International Business Phone Numbers

NEW YORK - April 24, 2013 - PRLog -- While Western governments still try to solve the economic crisis by desperately clinging to an old world order and new industrial countries are enjoying economic growth, it are the entrepreneurs that take the lead by recognizing that it’s no longer about ending a crisis, it’s about adapting to a new economic era in which companies everywhere have to be flexible and international in order to survive. This requires dynamic communication options, such as the international phone numbers provided by TeleForwarding.

Over the course of the last century, European and American economies have dominated the global market. But as new Western inventions brought technological progress and made the world gradually smaller, non-western countries too could profit from the economic prosperity resulting from this progress. Now, it are these newly industrialized countries (NICs) that are taking up more and more of the world’s economic activities and are thereby creating a new dynamic economic balance in the world, resulting in a new economic order. As a result, Western organizations trading locally increasingly have to deal with competitors from emerging economies, such as the BRICS countries. (According to a UN report, in 7 years from now (2020) each of the economies of China, Brazil and India will be bigger than those of the US, Germany, Great Britain, France and Canada combined.) “This means that if companies want to enter, grow or survive in the global economy they have to continuously broaden their horizon and look beyond borders with regards to their business”, claims Hans Lasonder, CEO at TeleForwarding, “we at TeleForwarding have the right tools to facilitate this.”

When a company enters the global market, it needs to be prepared for the international character of this market. However, rather than being a threat, an international market without borders offers great opportunities, especially for start-up businesses. Lasonder adds: “It’s about the question: ‘How could God create the world in 7 days? Because there was no installed base.’ In other words: you have the best development options and can grow much quicker, when you start from scratch. Thus, if you are a start-up company, or are newly entering the international market, you are in the unique position of making an overwhelming and lasting impression on all markets you want to enter and have the chance to quickly expand your business on a global scale.” In order to realize such a good kickoff, the first things you need are a well-defined corporate image with an internationally recognizable company/brand name and excellent universal communication options. Of course the latter includes a good international website, but for a company that has to be connected to, and in touch with, the whole world 24/7, international business phone numbers are also a must.

In fact, according to Lasonder, it are precisely these telephone numbers that will give your company that extra bit of flexibility and dynamics it needs to meet the requirements of the new global economic era. “Whether you wish to maintain a local corporate image in South Africa, using a geographic number with the Johannesburg prefix, operate a national telephone hotline in Brazil, with a toll-free number (ITFS) (http://www.teleforwarding.com/0800) , or even offer one single universal freephone number (UIFN) (http://www.teleforwarding.com/uifn) to all your clients in Europe; high quality international telephone numbers such as those offered by TeleForwarding, will guarantee your continuous availability for all your clients anywhere in the world.”

Moreover, with international toll-free numbers and service hotlines you can be present in every country even without having local representatives or branch offices there, for they can be forwarded to any landline, cell phone or even IP-address anywhere in the world. These phone numbers will provide a consistent basis for your company’s presence without standing in the way of your flexibility. Indeed, while your international numbers form a stable communication channel for your international clients, your company enjoys a high degree of flexibility with which it can easily respond to changes in the international economic arena.

Lasonder adds: “Operating in a global economy does not only require you to be flexible, but also to be available 24/7 anywhere in the world. Technological facilities, such as time/date routing, IVR menu’s and Voice2Mail can make an essential contribution here. When you supplement your international toll-free numbers with additional facilities your international calls will either be forwarded to an office location where people are able to answer the calls, or the caller can leave a message that will immediately be forwarded to the e-mail inbox of your choice. This way, you are able to answer all calls, meaning you won’t miss any calls, and you are always in control of when and where you answer these international calls. Moreover, your international clients can always contact your company which gives them the feeling you care for them and take them seriously.” In short, you are able to provide excellent customer service on a global scale, even as a start-up.

Telephony allows your company to literally ‘go with the flow’ and follow the dynamics of the global economy. According to many economists the new economic era will be defined by a permanent state of change, the universal communication options offered by TeleForwarding are essential tools for entering, and staying afloat in, the dynamic world economy of today.
