Does the idea of switching phone providers for your business sound like a permanent migraine? Here’s what’s worse:

Turning your customers away because you’re unable to provide a good phone customer experience because of lousy support from your business phone provider.

When you entrust ☎️PhoneBill (& the team at StratusDial) with your company’s new voice, here’s what you get:

✔️ Pre-installation audit to locate savings (sometimes $9000!) & lower your operating costs
✔️ Take care of allllllllll the prep, installation, routing, testing… everything done-for-you
✔️ Hold your hand through set-up & advise you on phone experience best practices
✔️ Latest phone features for maximum efficiency (hello, Office365 integration!)
✔️ Custom set-up the big providers won’t do (e.g. overhead paging system)
✔️ 60-day and 90-day check-ins to make sure you love your new system
✔️ Eager-to-help technical support, 24/7

As a smaller (but mightier!) provider, we can deliver the type of boutique service that the large competitors wish they could deliver. 😉

Ready to have your business phone system work for you (not against you) in bringing more clients to your business?

Message ☎️PhoneBill on LinkedIn. I’ll sort you out.

I’m a workforce and community impact leader focused on expanding economic mobility and building systems that help people access meaningful opportunity. I help to create pathways that support youth, families, and underserved communities.My foundation comes from business ownership. I grew a commercial cleaning company by centering people, strong systems, and clear performance standards. Those operations supported a 300% revenue increase between 2021 and 2023. Managing workflows, vendor partnerships, compliance, training, and customer experience taught me how to build sustainable structures that serve both people and outcomes.That experience fuels my work in the social impact space. At the Urban League of Middle Tennessee, I help over 700 youth and young adults connect to employment, mentorship, and wraparound support. I manage employer partnerships, statewide program logistics, and grant-supported workforce initiatives. The goal is simple: remove barriers, increase access, and create real pathways to economic stability.I also serve as a SCORE mentor, guiding entrepreneurs through data-driven strategy, financial clarity, and sustainable growth. Whether I’m supporting a business owner or a youth participant, my work is grounded in stewardship, accountability, and community impact.What I BringProgram and initiative supportSocial impact operationsCommunity and employer partnershipsWorkforce development strategyGrant-supported program executionTraining and soft-skill developmentData tracking and impact storytellingCross-functional collaborationHighlightsLed employment pathways for 700+ youth and young adults through career training and statewide partnershipsDistributed more than $1M in grant funds to employers, supporting work-based learning and job creationBuilt employer pipelines across public, nonprofit, government, and private sectorsScaled a commercial cleaning company by 300% in under two yearsHelped dozens of small business owners strengthen operations and growth through data and planningNamed Top Life Insurance Agent in district (2009)Guided 129 small businesses through the 2020 shutdown with stability and survival strategiesMy work centers on people, purpose, and pathways.
