How a Fitness Professional Entrepreneur Can Get a Toll-Free Number

Here’s a guarantee: If you don’t have something like I’m about to tell you, there are a few dozen potential fitness or nutrition clients a day who are not calling you because they don’t want to use their cell phone minutes or they think your cheesy local number doesn’t look professional enough.

OK, get ready for a very cool and highly affordable tactic for giving your personal training or nutrition consulting business a more corporate feel and a higher degree of credibility, while giving yourself a very quick and convenient way to get voicemail automatically delivered to your e-mail inbox as an instantly playable .mp3 file. For 10 bucks a month. I know – I was also floored at the price.

Here’s what my toll-free number that I use for my own personal training business gives me…

I have to admit: now that I have a toll-free number with these capabilities, I have no clue how I survived without one.

GotVMail’s Virtual Phone System works just like large company phone systems, but is designed specifically for on-the-go entrepreneurs. Any fitness business, personal training studio, or nutrition consultant can sound more professional and streamline communications by creating a virtual office that connects callers to employees wherever they are, on any type of phone – home, office, VoIP, or mobile. Customizable for 1 or more employees, GotVMail requires no equipment to purchase, is easily managed online, and is $9.95 a month.

I’m serious. If you don’t have something like this, there are a few dozen potential clients a day who are not calling you because they don’t want to use their cell phone minutes or they think a local number doesn’t look professional enough. Get on the bandwagon.
