[QUOTE="DDD, post: 612176, member: 35"] Yesterday I got a "new" idea. Business is slow and we are old. We have a few customers that buy in quantity and keep us in operation. Those customers order by phone or when weekly sales calls are made by husband. My idea is this. Instead of spending 40+ hours at the store maybe we can get rid of our Comcast package (phones, internet and tv) and get the phone numbers transferred to cell phones. Customers would be able to reach us and we could be in rocking chairs at home, lol. We have two landlines, a toll free number (really obsolete since most phone services include out of State calls now) and a fax number. I'm not sure how we would be able to receive fax transmitions "unless" the more modern cell phones can be used for fax transmitions. I'm not smart about "smart phones" etc. Do they include fax capability? What are the flaws in this idea? I need you guys to brainstorm for me before I make exploratory calls. We have the internet at home that receives/stores business and personal emails so I don't think we need the internet at work. The bldg is listed on MLS now. We would retain the bldg, be able to receive freight as usual, meet customers upon request (maybe even notify the local customers in advance and share the change and assure them of our availability). Brainstorm please. DDD [/QUOTE]
