As someone who holds a manager position at your organization, you are in “run” mode all too often. From leading team meetings to conferring with prospective clients to identifying new revenue streams for your company, your weeks can be chock-full of appointments, phone calls and assignments. Therefore, the last thing you need is a legacy business phone system that lacks the functionality and features needed to allow you to do business in this 21st century environment.

Specifically, you need a phone that gives you an array of unified communication capabilities from voicemail-to-email notification to call forwarding to call recording.

On your quest for the right desk phone, consider the benefits afforded by Yealink’s SIP-T46G, boasting an EXP40 Expansion Module that features a 160×320-pixel graphical LCD display and 20 dual-color LED keys that keep you informed on your contact’s communication status. The endpoint terminal solution comes with the following features:

• A 4.3-inch 480×272-pixel backlit color display for an optimal user experience
• Multiline support you so can make decisions expediently
• Customized programming options thanks to the fact that the phone comes with up to 27 paperless DSS keys available
• Fast-dial codes in a customizable directory and Busy Lamp Field (BLF) keys so that members on your team can keep their productivity levels at an all-time high
• Support for up to six expansion modules so you can better manage your groups of contacts
• Support for a Bluetooth headset so you can stretch your legs as you take that next call

There is no disputing that a number of companies today still operate on antiquated phone systems that do little else than make and receive calls. But as a manager, you need more. You need robust phone capabilities to be able to drive profitability for your organization.
