6 reasons why you don't need a business phone system

Does every company really need a business phone system?

Or as we like to call it — a communication solution?

Good heavens, no. Totally overrated!

Here are the 6 best reasons why your company absolutely does NOT need a business phone system.

1. You already know how to “transfer” calls

It should be hard to reach your company.

Not just anyone should be able to call in and hear:

“Welcome to The Company AB, we’ll take your call shortly.”

And when someone does manage to find your number, transferring the call is just too much trouble.

It’s easier to tell them to “try another number” or “send an email.”

After all, that’s how you’ve always done it — and change is bad.

And if someone insists on being transferred, you can always “handle it” Peyton Manning–style with a perfect 15-meter throw across the office.

So why waste money on a phone system that does what you already can?

2. You love being unreachable

There’s something refreshing about landing in a colleague’s voicemail and saying,

“Call me back.”

Or sending an SMS or email with the same message.

Opening an app to see if your colleagues are in a call, in a meeting, or home with a sick kid?

Completely unnecessary. Why complicate things?

3. You believe efficiency kills creativity

Apps, apps, and more apps ❤️ You love them in every color and form — the more the merrier.

When someone mentions a communication platform, you get an instant gag reflex.

The thought of calling, chatting, and having video meetings all in one place? Horrifying.

You’ve even banned the word seamless from the office vocabulary.

4. You ❤️ phone queues

Waiting in line for 56 minutes to your mobile operator just to order a new SIM card?

Doesn’t bother you at all.

It’s actually a nice break from work — relaxing even — with that lovely hold music while you waste precious company time.

So no, a communication solution that lets you handle the same task in under a minute?

Not a chance.

5. You despise working from home

Which employer in their right mind lets people work remotely anyway?

How could you possibly know what your employees are doing every second?

Everyone knows people who work from home do at least three loads of laundry a day.

Snowstorm? Canceled trains? Sick kids? Doesn’t matter.

You’re at your desk by 8:00 a.m. sharp — because that’s the way it’s always been.

So a program that simplifies communication and helps you focus while working remotely?

Never. Not on your watch.

6. You think video meetings are just a fad

Humans are social animals — that’s a scientific fact.

Nothing beats shaking hands and sitting in a meeting room.

For several reasons:

• There are always cinnamon buns in the conference room.
• Physical meetings take longer (perfect if you love wasting time).
• Nothing beats the feel of a freshly printed fifty-page report. You can’t get that from a shared file.

Video conferences? Totally overrated.

You don’t need that tech nonsense — cinnamon buns are a human right, and you don’t work from home anyway.

If someone wants to see you, they can come to the office. Period.
