Chapter 13:
Tips for Ordering a Telephone

Ask the telephone order taker for a catchy number. Some order takers will say they can only access three sets and that is all they can offer. Others will keep fishing for you. With some phone companies, you can pay an extra one time fee for a catchy number but it’s hardly worth it, especially since you can get one just as good for free. If you’re considering a toll free 800 number, reconsider. You mission as a business owner is to keep profits high and costs low. If for some reason an 800 number makes sense in the future, you can add it at that time.

If you do decide on an 800 number and they don’t offer a catchy one, ask for the website where you can enter and check your own combinations.
