I'm certain that there are different firms doing what Ether is doing – it's simply that their title retains popping up.
Their enterprise in a nutshell is to make it as straightforward as doable for a person or enterprise to promote recommendation over the telephone.
Here's the way it works. You enroll with them (it's free) and provides them your telephone quantity. They offer you a novel eight digit extension for his or her fundamental quantity. All paid calls to your extension are forwarded to your quantity.
You have management over every part that’s necessary. You can set the pricing nonetheless you would like – per minute, per hour or per name. You may also specify the hours the place you want to take calls.
You market the Ether telephone quantity and your extension nonetheless you would like.
When somebody calls your extension, Ether does all of the billing and forwards the decision to you solely AFTER somebody has paid them.
The price of that is 15% of no matter you cost.
Positives are the simplicity of the entire system, the truth that you solely obtain paying calls, and the truth that there aren’t any up entrance or month-to-month prices.
Negatives are the comparatively massive 'chunk' that they take – and the truth that you solely obtain paid calls. 🙂
For many forms of recommendation, there will probably be individuals completely prepared to pay you who DO have respectable pre-sales questions that might be shortly answered by you. "Do you have experience with" – that sort of query. Needless to say, the much less certain they’re that you’ve the particular expertise and experience to assist them, the much less in all probability it’s that they are going to pay to search out that out.
So, when you have been going to make use of this service, it might make quite a lot of sense to at a minimal promote an electronic mail tackle the place individuals can ask pre-sales questions.
If you have an interest in promoting customized recommendation, this may be a great way of testing the waters.
