Unify Your Messaging and
Achieve Complete Mobility
If you are an
independent professional, you know that being constantly on the go
makes communications both essential and incredibly difficult. Whether
you are running your own business, or just “out on your own” for a
larger company, your independence means that you’re managing your own
professional life. The Universal Office can help you tame that tangle
of phone lines, fax machines, pagers, and email, with a single,
unified approach.
The Universal
Office delivers your messages to you on the move - by phone, e-mail,
pager, fax or cell phone. You can log onto any Internet enabled
computer and access your messages. Read or listen to your messages
from an Internet cafe, hotel, library or airports worldwide.
Here’s What You
Get!
The Executive
level Universal Office includes a host of features that will help
professionals step into the world of big business telecommunications.
Here are just a few:
People Are
Saying…
Adam Smith,
Investment Consultant
“I have a
regular office, with regular office hours. But I’m out of the office,
visiting clients, as much as I’m at my desk. The Universal Office
keeps me in touch even when I’m out, without my clients having to know
several different numbers. They can call or fax me through just one
number, and I don’t have to install expensive equipment that’s out of
date the day I put it in.
“Even when I’m
out, their calls still come through to me because of the Follow-Me
feature. I can take the call, or ask them to leave a message. I can
even tell them WHY I can’t take the call right then, and still have
them leave a message, without them having to call back.
“Complete
control, through my phone or the Internet. That’s what the Universal
Office gives me.”
Using it –
In Depth:
Bob is an
accountant who often works from home. He loves the freedom of being at
home with his family, but still needs to project a professional
image. With the Universal Office, he has Genie as his personal and
PROFESSIONAL assistant whenever his clients call.
"The last thing
I want when I work from home is to give out my home number to
EVERYONE. A client calling me at midnight isn’t how I want to live.
The power of THE UNIVERSAL OFFICE solved that problem for me. I just
set up a schedule as to when calls are allowed to get through to me
during the day!"
Bob also loves
the fact that he doesn't have to have a separate voice mail system and
dedicated fax line to accept faxes. All voice mail and faxes are sent
to his UNIVERSAL OFFICE where Bob can then retrieve them from the
Internet.
"Retrieving my
voice mail and faxes from the Internet is so helpful. I simply go to
Genie online and click to hear messages, or view faxes. Managing my
faxes is a snap. I can print them, store them, forward them, or delete
them when needed. All from the internet!" says Bob.
The ability to
screen and handle multiple calls at the same time is just another way
that the Universal Office helps Bob work from home:
"When my phone
rings, I pick it up and hear who the caller is, BEFORE I decide to
take the call. At the same time, someone else might be calling my
Universal Office to request one of my fax-on-demand document, like my
brief on the new tax requirements.
“Meanwhile,
another client needs to fax me their quarterly sales summary, and that
call also goes to my Universal Office. Genie handles it all while I’m
talking to that first client, and pages to tell me that the new fax
and voicemail message have arrived.
“Even while I’m
still talking to that first caller, I can swing over to my PC, connect
to the Genie Online site and read that fax. And the instant I’m off
that first call, I can listen to the voice message.
“Genie is my
electronic secretary handling all my phone calls for me." says Bob,
“even if I’m visiting a client’s office (or taking that much needed
vacation after tax time). The Universal Office is open and ready even
when I’m not. And if it’s vitally important, I can still get those
messages and faxes anywhere I can find an Internet connection or a
phone and a fax. Hotel lobby or client office makes no difference.
Genie and the Universal Office can handle it.”

Features
Don’t Chase Calls –
Let Them Come To You
All your
messages and calls are forwarded to you wherever you may be. You can
change the method of message delivery using any touch-tone telephone
or by following a few simple steps at the website. You’re in complete
control of how your messages are routed. Tell Genie where you
would like them delivered, and by which method and she’ll organize it
all for you. And even if your computer or mobile phone is
switched off, your messages will still get to you when you’re on the
move – Genie will store them until you switch on again.

Outbound
Calling as low as 2 cents per minute!
Ever wonder why
hotels charge as much as $1.50 per call and as much as $1.00 a minute
to make calls from your hotel room when the same call costs so little
from an outside phone? Because they can. They know you don’t
want to make that important call from a public phone booth – if you
can even find one anymore. So, they charge as much as they can get
away with. Well, Genie will help you put an end to that. Simply
call your Genie toll-free number and make all the calls you want for
as low as 2 cents per minute! If you are in a foreign country,
use our Universal Office Call-Back. Just make one call to Genie and
ask her to call you back. Now your call is an inbound call, you’re
talking to Genie, and SHE makes all your outbound calls for a fraction
of the cost!

Two (or
more) Local Numbers in Different Cities
The Universal
Office comes configured with two numbers in different cities of your
choice. Have a local number wherever your brick-and-mortar
office is, and another local number wherever your biggest customer
base is –even if it’s on the other side of the country! Try
getting that from the other guys, without feeling like your wallet’s
been turned inside out.
Local Presence in
Thousands of Communities
Would you like
to give your customers a local number to call no matter what city
they’re in? With the Universal Office, you can have local
numbers in as many cities as you like. Now your customers can

Chicago. The World is Your office!

Hold a Conference Call On
The Fly
Conference calls
are a HUGE profit center for the BIG phone companies and a genuine
pain to organize – usually requiring a day or so to set up. No more!
With your Universal Office, you have a full time conference room
available to you 24 hours a day, wherever you are. Suddenly
need to talk with people in six different places to settle that
important question? Just give those people your Genie number and tell
them when the conference starts. You only need to call in about a
minute ahead of the others to open the conference room with your
password and you’re off and running – at only 4 cents per minute for
each caller up to ten callers!

Use AudioGrams to
Conquer Time Zones
Your Universal
Office has a unique feature called the AudioGram, which lets you
record a message in your own voice and have Genie deliver it to any
number of recipients, at any time you choose. Imagine you’re on the
East Coast and it’s 7 AM. Suddenly, you remember an important message
you need to get to someone in California. It’s only 4AM there, but you
will be in meetings all morning until it’s too late to get the message
to them. No problem. Just record an AudioGram and schedule it for
delivery when it’s 8:30 in California, and then go to your meetings.
Genie will deliver the Audiogram at the right time to the right
number. She can even give you a confirmation that the message was
delivered AND record their reply!

Accept
credit cards Without A Point of Sale Terminal
You Universal
Office has a feature called the Virtual Merchant that let’s you accept
credit card payments without the bother and expense of getting a point
of sale terminal. Unlike terminals, it works anywhere! You can use the
Virtual Merchant to process credit cards for anything from merchandize
to professional service fees. And, if you have a fixed inventory, you
can even have the Virtual Merchant do the selling for you. Your
customers can call your Universal Office and Genie will walk them
through the entire purchase process. All you do is fulfill the order
and spend the money!

messages, and no need to worry about sensitive documents or faxes.
With The Universal Office, all communications are private. Your
telephone calls and messages come to you, and follow you to your exact
location. Faxes need not go to a hotel reception, nor messages be
handled by anyone except yourself. There is no need to rely on staff
to get your messages to you. The Universal Office can deliver them to
any place, anytime according to your instructions.

Keep It Clear and Simple
Your Universal
Office is fast and simple to use. You receive Faxes with digital
quality so they will always be clear and easy to read. Your messages
are recorded with the highest clarity. You’ll hear the messages
clearly, not muddied by tape replay. And losing messages because of a
full or broken answering machine will be a thing of the past.
With your
Universal Office, there’s no need to carry laptops, pagers, mobile
phones, and personal organizers. Instead of dragging around cumbersome
communications equipment, have all your messages sent to one location
where you can view and respond to them. Your contacts can reach you
through one number, first time and every time, instead of chasing you
for hours.

Get Instant Notification
The Universal
Office will provide notification to your pager, cell phone or e-mail
account to alert you that new messages have arrived and are waiting
for your attention. Don’t waste time logging on to find that no
messages are waiting, and no more time and expense spent calling back
to the office to see if perhaps there are messages waiting there.
Genie can notify you for all message types. Even when you are on
the move you can still keep in touch. You’ll know instantly when the
message arrived and the caller’s number (if available) so you can then
decide the urgency of your response.
TelePaging
Don’t want to carry
a pager? NO problem. Your Universal Office has a unique feature called
TelePaging. When your callers telephone they will be able to page you
just as if you had a pager, but your notification will be sent to your
cell phone or any of three telephone numbers you choose. If you are
out of touch, it’s still NO problem. Genie will record the name and
telephone number of whoever is paging you, so you can return their
call with the push of a button.
