Say hello to Working Women Stories. In this third episode of our series, host Jessica Rivelli, the founder of Working Women of Tampa Bay, brings Rebekah Nault of PBX-Change to the studio. PBX-Change is a sponsor of Working Women of Tampa Bay’s upcoming 2019 Working Women Conference, and the WW Foundation. As account and community manager, Nault is responsible not just for the day-to-day contacts with customers, but PBX-Change’s public face in the community. She works diligently on corporate philanthropy, establishing relationships with nonprofits like the Girl Scouts, Lion’s Eye, Tampa Bay Spring and Troop Rewards.

PBX-Change is a cloud-based communications provider. In today’s business world, with so many ways to communicate, through web apps, traditional phones, and web-based chat methods, unified communications are more important than ever.

One thing that PBX-Change understands best is the importance of scalability. Nault has seen clients grow from 15-20 lines of communication to more than 600, and she believes that one of PBX-Change’s most crucial roles is in helping companies get their communications networks started, control costs, and eventually expand their geographic network with ease.

As workplace demands change, PBX-Change’s communications technology offers employers flexibility. With cloud-based communications platforms, employers can hire independent contractors or choose to allow their employees to work remotely or from home, while staying connected. PBX-Change’s communications technology can tailor customer communication to the strengths of the employee and the preferences of the customer.
