Why a telephone booth?

How do you quickly lose your productivity, concentration and – in a worst case scenario – even a sales order? Take an open-plan office, no places to retreat and a noise level of 70 decibels - which is equivalent to the continuous sound of an industrial hoover. But don't worry, there's good news: With office phone booths you cannot only discrease distrations effectively, but you can also increase success in customer calls at the same time. Below, we have compiled the five most important benefits of phone booths for the office.

Reason 1 Increased success in sales talks

An Ipsos study finds that poor call quality can be detrimental to business success. This includes distracting background noise, having to constantly repeat yourself or having to ask for the content of the conversation to be repeated. 23 percent of participants report annoyed customers due to poor call quality and 19% say they have even lost a pitch or contract because of it. Office phone booths prevent annoying background noise and make it possible for your counterpart to understand you without any problems. Thanks to sound-absorbing double walls, noise simply stays outside and confidential information inside. This allows team members to go into their sales talks, pitch presentations or other customer negotiations without stress.

Reason 2 Employee productivity increases

The noise in open-plan offices ensures that employees are distracted most of the time. Spontaneous visits from other colleagues, ringing telephones or the noise of the coffee machine often break employees' concentration and they have a hard time getting back to the task they had worked on before. As a result, up to 1.5 hours are lost every day. Some employees quickly become stressed because of this, motivation suffers – and so does productivity. Studies indicate that this loss of productivity is between 15 and 28 percent. Phone booths offer a place of retreat for concentrated work and ensure that the workflow is not constantly disturbed by distractions.

Reason 4 Employee satisfaction increases

satisfied employees are more successful in sales

Satisfied employees work 31% more productively, are 37% more likely to succeed in sales and work 19% more accurately. These results were published in the Harvard Business Review. They clearly underline how important employee satisfaction is for business success. But: employee satisfaction takes a major hit when there is a lack of retreats for personal phone calls, meetings or concentrated brooding. That's where phone booths take centre stage: they allow every employee a high degree of privacy and the opportunity for concentrated work.

Reason 5 More options for flexibility in the office

The office design after Corona looks a little different every day. While the premises are used for spontaneous meetings on one day, a workshop is planned for another day. The number of employees in the office can also vary greatly. Phone boxes are a clever room-in-room solution that can be used to create retreat options independently of the existing premises. This makes them an attractive option for fast-growing start-ups in particular, allowing them to react flexibly to changing space requirements.
