Advisors and consultants are there to take a fresh look at an organization. This requires knowledge but also creativity. Before it gets to that point, you first need to interest organizations in your services. A first impression is crucial: of course, you ensure a nice office, a cohesive team, and good references. And while you’re at it, investing in a service number is a smart move. You can choose from various types of service numbers: 085-, 088-, or 0900 numbers.

Professional, National Image

One of the advantages of service numbers is the national image they provide. An 085 number may look like a local number, but more and more people realize that these are national numbers with local rates. 0800 numbers are completely free for the caller, which is why companies often use them as loss leaders. Examples include taxi centers that know a ride will follow a phone call or pizzerias that process an order with every call.

Get Paid for Phone Advice

In addition to a national image, 0800 and 0900 numbers offer the image of a service or information number. While with an 0800 number, as a consultancy firm, you bear all the call costs, with a 0900 number, you decide what rate callers pay. This way, you can make the number cost-effective or even profitable.

Clients who visit you pay for your expertise, so why shouldn’t callers do the same? The option to vary allows you to experiment and find the right balance between revenue from phone consultations and conversions to ‘in-person’ advice that result from these calls.

Extras for Consultants

Those who register a service number with Belfabriek gain access to a wide range of extra features. Many of these features are tailor-made for consultants. For example, with Call Recording, you always have an audio recording of what you discussed with clients, and thanks to your digital answering machine, you receive messages left outside office hours directly in your inbox. Prefer to stay reachable after hours or while traveling to a project? Use the Change Destination Number service to have another phone ring, such as your mobile.

Results Immediately Visible

You can take our word for it when we say that a service number will bring you more callers. But as a consultant, you’ve learned to dig deep into matters. That’s why you’d rather observe that upward trend with your own eyes. With the extensive call statistics that Belfabriek provides you access to, it’s a breeze. In real-time, you can see exactly how many calls you’re receiving, from where, and how long the conversations last. You can also see the effect of a rate change for your 0900 number.

Transparent Rates

Your clients expect a clear price specification from you. Just like them, you appreciate knowing what you’re paying for. That’s why Belfabriek is transparent about your subscription costs.
