5 Out of the Box Ideas to Propel Your Business
on June 4th, 2009 by admin
1) Use Agares Auto Attendant as part of your sales campaign, requiring leads to call your number and listen to your sales pitch. In return, at the end of the script you can give out a special password to a website with free rewards, or give a free ebook, or any other incentive that will make people want to call your number. This is a great way to reward your lead with the the promise of something free, while insuring that they listen to your entire sales pitch. You’ll be surprised just how much money you can make using this idea.
2) Use Agares Auto Attendant to pre-screen your support calls. This way, you’re able to automatically answer your common questions, without the expense of an actual person. Since most of your support callers will ask many of the same questions, this is one time and money saving idea that will put money back in your pockets.
3) Use Agares Auto Attendant as your own personal secretary. There’s no reason to answer the phone yourself, or even pay a secretary just to route calls to the correct place. Instead, you can automate the entire process by setting up Agares Auto Attendant to do the work for you.
4) Offer your phone services in more than one language. You see, instead of hiring a full time, multilingual employee to talk with customers who speak another language, you can use Agares Auto Attendant and offer all your information in multiple languages.
5) Use Agares Auto Attendant for trivia, quizzes, surveys, and games. You can setup multiple choice questions, tell the caller whether their choice was correct, and setup surveys that can be tallied using the resulting log file which is produced.
moreAgares Auto Attendant is now FREEWARE!

I’ve supported myself and my family initially through web design, and then later by selling PHP scripts. However, I’m more philosophically inclined towards free software, which has presented me with a bit of a moral and ethical quandary, namely, how do I continue to provide for my family without comprimising my ethics. The solution I arrived at was to continue producing my commercial software until I had enough funds to reinvest in an open source business model. Then, as the open source business model is followed and implemented, each commercial software would one by one shift into an open source product. I’ll be talking about this more over the course of the next year or so while this process starts.
This brings us to Agares Auto Attendant, which, as of version 1.2, is freeware. However, it is not open source as of yet, because the DTMF tone detection library was purchased and it is proprietary. If a suitable open source DTMF .NET library were available to replace the proprietary library currently used, I would have no problem completely open sourcing Agares Auto Attendant.
Version 1.2 is completed, just needs to be updated and released.

Agares Auto-Attendant is for Skype software. If you’re familiar with Skype (owned by the same company that owns StumbleUpon, eBay, and PayPal,) you know that its a program that you install on your computer that allows you to make and receive actual phone calls to anyone across the globe. That means people can call your business on Skype by dialing your phone number, and from their end they have no idea that you’re not using a “real” hardware based phone. In this article, I’d like to explore different auto attendant setups and compare the cost of each one. If you’re company is trying to minimize cost while expanding its services, you’ll find that Agares Auto-Attendant for Skype software can and will save you thousands of dollars a year.

Agares Auto-Attendant will launch soon. Our new product allows small and medium sized businesses to have their own personal auto attendant for Skype software. This means they can set up a full fledged automated phone secretary that can transfer calls, give information, or can be used after hours to manage calls. Since Agares Auto-Attendant is for Skype software, this means your over head costs can be well under $200 a year for unlimited phone calls. This revolutionary program makes old physical auto-attendants, which often cost thousands of dollars or more, completely obsolete.
