Conducting International Business Over the Phone with Customers and Prospects in the Bahamas

Building relationships is essential in any business, and these services can help you to do just that with your customers in the Bahamas.

Bahamas NassauAs a business person selling products or services to customers in the Bahamas, you’ll likely spend your fair share of time on the doing business over the phone.

Below are two must-have international phone services that will make it easier than ever for you to connect with your customers and prospects in the Bahamas:

  • Global virtual phone numbers — Getting a toll free Bahamas virtual phone number that forwards callers to your main office in the United States or another country is both affordable and practical. The phone number itself looks and acts like any other toll free business phone number in the Bahamas, allowing you to create a local presence.

Your customers in the Bahamas can reach you easily without incurring international long distance costs or worrying about dialing exit codes and international country codes. Not only does your global virtual number remove potential barriers to calling you, it helps you to look more like a local. Your customers will most likely appreciate the ease of calling you as well.

Meanwhile, our global virtual numbers come with helpful features such as local ring tones, advanced call forwarding, voice response systems, PBX features, simultaneous ringing, and more. Optional call recording and rollover minutes are also available as add-ons to the service.

  • International Conference Calling — Need to speak with a group of clients or vendors in the Bahamas? Our international conference calling plan makes it easy for your attendees from the Bahamas to join your group audio calls. There are two options: toll free access numbers or moderator dial out.

With toll free access numbers, your callers simply dial a toll free number. They will then be connected to your international conference call regardless of which country you are in when you host it. Moderator dial out is useful when you want to manually join someone into your international conference call. You can initiate moderator dial out from our web application or from the free mobile Connect app. You’ll also get lower per minute rates for international conferencing connections made using dial out.

Building relationships is essential in any business, and these services can help you to do just that with your customers in the Bahamas. However, not all service providers are created equally. Some use cheap VoIP connections or skimp on features. Don’t let bad phone services stand between you and your customers!

With our international phone services, all calls from the Bahamas are forwarded to your ring-to number or international conferencing bridge over fiber optic PSTN telecommunications networks for exceptional reliability and clarity — and 24/7 help is readily available from live, US-based operators.

We offer Bahamas international virtual phone numbers and international conferencing services on a no-contract basis, making both of these services easy to try. Use these services for as long as you need them or cancel at any time. Get started today and connect with your customers in the Bahamas easier than ever.

Tips for Doing Business in the Bahamas with Toll Free Virtual Phone Numbers

For instance, if you have a call center in Florida that handles your Bahamas phone calls and a hurricane forces it to shut down for a few days, you could quickly and easily change the ring to number to your call center in another region of the world.

There’s a lot to do including (but not limited to):  researching your market, getting a business visa, registering your business, and ordering virtual Bahamas phone numbers.

Assuming you’ve done all the legwork and have decided that it makes sense to establish a business presence in the Bahamas, you’ll want to order virtual phone numbers so that your customers and business partners can easily contact you without concerns about dialing internationally.

Why Get Virtual Toll Free Bahamas Phone Numbers

Why order virtual Bahamas phone numbers when you could simply use your existing toll free phone number? While the Bahamas has a thoroughly modern and fully automatic telecommunications system, toll free numbers are not international.

In other words, if you have a toll free number in the United Kingdom, callers from the Bahamas will not be able to use it. What you actually need is a Bahamas toll free virtual number that is set up to ring to the phone of your choice anywhere else in the world.

A toll free virtual Bahamas number will also give your company a local appearance. It will look just like any other toll free number for the Bahamas, complete with the same dialing conventions. There are no international country codes or exit codes to dial, and no confusion on the part of your callers.

Virtual toll free numbers for the Bahamas can be changed on the fly so that they ring to any phone you designate.

For example, if you have a call center in Florida that handles your Bahamas phone calls and a hurricane forces it to shut down for a few days, you could quickly and easily change the ring to number to your call center in another region of the world.

Are your operations on a smaller scale? Even if you run a one-person shop, you could benefit from a virtual Bahamas call forwarding phone number. For example, you could set it up to ring to your home office or mobile phone.

If you travel frequently but need to be able to accept calls from the Bahamas seamlessly, you could change the ring to number so that it rings to your hotel room or temporary mobile phone number when you arrive at a new destination.

Many nations are encouraging businesses to export to the Bahamas, including the United States. Not only that, the Bahamas government offers some enticing incentives that may apply. With its stable democratic environment, proximity to the United States, and variety of market opportunities, exporting to the Bahamas may make sense for your business.

If it does, give yourself an advantage by establishing a virtual toll free number as soon as possible. They’re affordable and readily available. Plus, you can establish a Bahamas toll free virtual number without a long-term contract, making it ideal for testing the waters.
