Blue Rooster Telecom’s Unique Features

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Here at Blue Rooster Telecom, we offer our customers several unique features. As a company serving businesses in San Luis Obispo, we are able to customize our services to the telecommunications needs of our customers. We want our customers to understand what unique features we offer. Below are just a few of our features, and you can also check them out on our website.

1. Hunt Group Presentation

Traditional telephone systems with more than one telephone line will send a different Caller ID on outbound calls depending on which outbound telephone line the caller selects. This situation can make it difficult for the called party to recognize calls from a particular company since they may receive calls from many different telephone numbers. At Blue Rooster Telecom we send the main telephone number as the outbound Caller ID for all calls no matter which line is selected. Sending the common Caller ID allows the called party to easily recognize calls from familiar companies. This feature allows Blue Rooster Telecom customers to have more consistent presentation on outbound telephone calls.

 

2. Fax Line- Outbound Calls

Many small businesses have a fax line that is used less and less but they are not ready to give up the fax line all together. At Blue Rooster Telecom we can set up the fax line to also be used for outbound calls and in doing so we can send the Caller ID of the main telephone number. This feature prevents callers who “reply” back to the called number from being sent to the fax machine. This change does not interrupt the normal calling for inbound or outbound faxes and allows the customer to make better use of their telephone lines.

An additional feature “Fax to E-Mail” allows inbound faxes to be routed to an e-mail address (or list of e-mail addresses IE: fax@mycompany.com) as a PDF file.

 

3.Custom Name Presentation on Outbound Calls

Telephone subscribers with Caller ID see a name presented on most inbound calls. This name can be 15 characters including spaces and is entered into the telephone network by your telephone company, usually with no input from the customer. At Blue Rooster Telecom we ask the customer what outbound Caller ID name they want their customers to see. We can enter any letters that will fit within the allotted space. Think of the creative possibilities for presenting your company to customers. An organic restaurant could present “Healthy Food” or a toy store could present “Fun For Kids”.

 

4. Electronic Billing Statement

Instead of mailing your billing statement, Blue Rooster sends it to you in an email. Not only does electronic billing ensure immediacy, but it is also a practical way to reduce the amount of paper we use. We encourage customers to save the bill electronically and print as little as possible.

 

EPISODE 35- Blue Roo’s Valentine

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Two weeks ago, Blue Roo started preparing for this day. If you remember, Roo carefully selected  dozen red roses with the help of Nikki at FluidBloom Designs, one of SLO’s most popular floral shops.

Since that day, Roo has been working up the nerve to ask out one very special hen. Maltida is a pretty little thing with black speckles, and she lives at Farm Supply Company. Roo met her last year when he had a photo shoot at Farm Supply. Roo hopes the roses, his dashingly good looks and his charm will win over his hopeful sweet heart.

 

Roo wooing Matilda at Farm Supply

Earlier this morning, Roo visited Farm Supply to ask out the hen of his dreams. Matilda was happy to see Roo, but one of her coopmates, Bernard, may have felt a little threatened by the presence of another male. But once Bernard realized that Roo is a cool bird,  he started to warm up to him.

Roo began his extravagant invitation by reciting a poem:

Roses are red,

Roosters are blue,

Corn is sweet

And so are you!

Then, he mustered up all his courage, and invited Matilda to dinner and a movie- popcorn and Chicken Run. Matilda clucked “Yes!”, and explained that Chicken Run is her favorite movie. Looks like the two lovebirds will have a fun-filled Valentine’s Day.

 

Reciting his poem to Matilda. Bernard looks on.

Blue Roo wishes all YOU lovebirds out there a fun & goofy Valentine’s Day!

 

 


Communication is a critical component of the success of any business, and it is most certainly true with our 2300 member agricultural supply cooperative, that is why we chose Blue Rooster for our telecommunication needs. Their customer service is second to none and they are available to us 24 hours a day should we need them. In my position I worry about a great many things, but our phone service is not one of them due to the excellent service provided by Blue Rooster’s team of professionals.
