The Advantages of a Live Answering Service
Live answering services provide a personalised experience for callers, giving them the opportunity to speak with someone who can meet their needs instead of immediately fussing with an automated service, which we all know can be incredibly frustrating.
The advantage of a live answering service is that for callers, they often aren’t aware that their call has been redirected to an answering service. For businesses, they can outsource a virtual receptionist to answer calls and deal with client queries. It can also provide your business with a more professional appearance, ensuring that all incoming calls are handled skilfully and messages are delivered to the appropriate staff member.
How Does a Live Answering Service Work?
Live answering services redirect calls from your 1300 or 1800 number, landline, VOIP or mobile phone to a live operator who answers the call on behalf of your business name. They can then follow a custom script outlined by your business to handle the callers queries or concerns. You can also further customise the service to include features such as call transfers or messages to multiple representatives.
What to Look for in a Live Answering Service
For some companies, phone calls can be a major opportunity for business, which means handling it quickly and efficiently could be the difference between a lead becoming a customer or going elsewhere.
There are a range of things to consider when searching for the best live answering service for your business.
