There have been some big storms rolling through and the one that came through last night was bigger than anyone was expecting. You weren't prepared for four feet of snow. Most of your employees can't make it in and you've heard of multiple power outages. You know most of your appointments are going to be "no shows" anyway, and at this point it's probably better to just close the office for the day.

Maybe there are a select few appointments that can be done over the phone instead of in person.

Maybe, if you're a doctor, you will need to refer patients to a different doctor, or different office.

It's 6:00 a.m. and your appointments were to start at 7:00. What do you do? You're at home. You don't have access to your files with everyone's contact information. All of your employees are probably snuggled back in bed after they called in unable to make it out through the snow.

Remembering InphoniteVoice, you sit down at your desk, pull up your account, open last night's calls, make a few edits and set up a blast call saying, "My office is closed due to the weather. Please call 555-555-1212 to reschedule your appointment for later in the week."

Thinking of that business meeting with the vendor, you select that contact, edit the message and send a direct message tweet saying, "Due to weather I won't be in the office. Please call 555-555-1213 at our meeting time. I look forward to speaking with you."

Knowing your first appointment for the day has probably already left for your office, you edit that person and send an SMS message saying, "I'm sorry, our offices are closed due to weather. Let's reschedule."

You look at the clock, and it's only 6:15. Job well done, InphoniteVoice.
