A virtual receptionist will work with just about any company. A yard design firm recently contacted us because they were missing telephone calls. The crew is hardly ever in the office and the phone gets missed quite a bit. What were they to do?
This is the situation with small businesses; the owner must always answer each telephone call (he's the boss) or delegate whomever to answer it. Often the owner is the better sales rep within the corporation, but just how could you grow business that way? Many times the last person to leave the workplace would need to forward the telephone to someone, but to whom? Let's say the employees are out all day Friday and don't check voicemails until Monday morning? That is definitely an eternity to a customer who is looking for some type of services. There's a better strategy to manage a workplace that is using a live virtual receptionist service.
This kind of service will make sure the calls get sent to the most suitable person inside the company. Call screening is regarded as the most important feature to watch out for in a real receptionist company. Most of them are just automated and don't actually have a live person within the mix, caution! Yet another nice feature will be to setup the phones as roll-over, and you don't even need to worry about forwarding the phones when somebody leaves. If you're working on a sizable project and don't wish to be disrupted, put the phone on do not disturb and really concentrate. You can actually let a service know to not phone you, and it is peace and quiet for you.
Sometimes individuals in the field simply have personal mobiles rather than a business owned line. Why would they want to hand out their number to a lot of business clients? If they leave the company, they'll still be getting telephone calls. A virtual receptionist service can fix that by answering the primary line and connecting callers to the personal cell phones of employees out in the field. They only provide the primary number to clients and with call screening choose which calls to take. It's actually a win for your employees along with the clients because the phone is always answered by a live professional person, and connected to an individual who can help them.
Make sure the service you are looking into actually answers the telephone properly, and they can perform live phone transfers. Many of the services in existence won't declare callers they simply do a blind transfer. That is not very helpful!
