If you're here, you may have more than 1 number. Congrats! More numbers mean you're growing and that's always a good sign.

Here, we show you how to keep those growing numbers organized. When you get a call, you know what number your clients are calling. This way, you can answer the call accordingly.

Also, this is useful if you're reassigning a number. You can label it to suit your new team member such as "Stephanie's Number". Or, whatever name makes sense with your business needs.
