Ohio State Football, Tailgate & Tech: How VoIP Wins Every Time

It’s Saturday in Columbus.

The grills are fired up, the scarlet and gray are out in full force, and “Hang on Sloopy” is echoing from car stereos across the city. If you’re a business leader in Ohio, there’s a good chance you’re either tailgating, talking Buckeyes—or both.

But let’s talk teamwork off the field. Because when it comes to running a business, communication matters just as much as it does on game day. And just like a solid offensive line, a reliable VoIP phone system keeps your business running like a well-oiled machine.

Let’s break it down Buckeye-style.

🏈 The Playbook: What’s VoIP Anyway? 

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the modern MVP of business communication. Instead of using traditional phone lines, it routes calls over the internet—giving you flexibility, advanced features, and cost savings. No clunky hardware. No long-distance fees. Just smooth, efficient communication. 

Kind of like switching from a cassette Walkman to Spotify.

🎯 Call Plays from Anywhere (Even The Horseshoe)

With VoIP, your team isn’t tied to their desks. They can make or receive business calls from anywhere—home, a client site, or even the parking lot outside Ohio Stadium (not saying we’ve done it, but... we’ve done it). 

Whether you're working remotely or tailgating responsibly, your business doesn’t miss a beat.

🤝 Teamwork Wins Championships—and Client Calls

Imagine your business like a football team: 

  • Sales is your offense. 
  • Customer service is your defense. 
  • Your phone system? That’s your quarterback. 

And a good quarterback doesn’t drop calls, fumble messages, or take forever to get a play going. With Cloud Cover’s VoIP system, you’ve got voicemail-to-email, call routing, conferencing, and even auto attendants making sure every play (and every client call) gets handled smoothly.

🔄 Audibles Are Easy with Cloud Cover

Need to scale your team? Add a new line? Redirect calls to someone working remotely? 

VoIP makes it easy to pivot faster than a no-huddle offense. And with Cloud Cover handling your VoIP setup and support, there’s no complicated tech penalty to worry about.

🧢 No Long-Term Contracts. Just Long-Term Wins.

We don’t do unnecessary extras or bloated plans. Just like a good tailgate, everything you need is right there—cold drinks, grilled brats, and reliable phone service with all the features your team needs (okay, maybe not the brats).

🏆 It’s Time to Put VoIP in Your Starting Lineup

If you’re still using an old-school phone system, you’re playing like it’s 1994. Upgrade your game with VoIP and experience the kind of flexibility, reliability, and teamwork your business deserves.
