How Do Answering Services Work and What is a Virtual Receptionist?
Virtual receptionists provide your customers with the opportunity to communicate with a professional, live operator. Different from automated phone systems, our virtual receptionists use your script to address customer needs, transfer calls, and take important business messages. Remote virtual receptionists are a great way to offer the best possible customer service, without needing to hire in-house staff.
1. Your customers call your business – you choose when you want us to answer.
2. Our operators answer just like your personal assistant, thanks to our smart software.
3. We deliver the message or call to you. Our mobile answering service app means we go where you go!
Our Virtual Receptionist Software is Our “Secret Sauce” and the Best Answering Service Solution for Your Business
When your customers call, they’ll never know it’s not a receptionist sitting in your office, but a virtual receptionist. How does it work? We’ve created the smartest telephone answering technology in the industry and the specialty virtual receptionist options we offer are perfect for many different businesses! With custom, logic-based scripting, your calls are answered with your words. Our software, OpenAnswer, is the magic behind the screen.
