Mobile Professionals Need A Mobile Fax Solution

By Christopher Fitch

What exactly does it mean to be a mobile professional? If it means answering calls with a smart phone and possibly checking voicemail and reading and returning e-mail, then great. But what happens when the mobile professional needs to have move functionality in the field?

How about faxes? And what about calls you cannot answer because you are with clients? Smart phones cannot provide these services (well, not on their own), so how much business opportunities are you missing as a mobile professional?

Almost every mobile professional would benefit from the ability to have their incoming faxes follow them from appointment to appointment. For those who rely on quick access to documents, such a feature would not only speed up certain decisions and transactions, but could provide an enviable edge over competitors. And since such an edge has a linear relationship with income growth, we urge our professional to investigate such services.

For as little as $10 per month, any mobile professional can have incoming faxes sent by e-mail in any number of formats, and have their voicemail available on the internet. When assessing the annual cost of $120 (or $110 if you consider the free month), consider the time lost while driving to and from the office or a FedEx Kinko's to retrieve important documents? Now, imagine just how convenient it would be to receive these documents by e-mail. Better yet, imagine reciving them by e-mail on your smart phone!

By dumping the office lifestyle, most mobile professionals aimed to avoid making unproductively and time-consuming trips back to the office. But achieving such a sense of true mobility was previously impossible. With mFax, the mobile professional can finally enjoy the full benefits of mobility. Plus, with no software to download and no tedious front-end set up, it makes sense to sign up, at least for a free-trial to see just how much simpler one's life can become.

The leader in this segment is myFax and my1voice (which provides voicemail and auto attendant services). The faxing by e-mail solution is the simplest to use on the market today, hands-down. Since it is web-based, it is also easy to use, particularly for mass faxing. Regardless of their competitive edge, myFax will allow to allow you to see for yourself just how essential their service is to your mobility! - 15246
