Remote Receptionist, Call Answering, Having a Remote, 24/7, Receptionist Makes Sense

There's no doubt that employing a full-time receptionist can be a significant expense for any business. In addition to salary costs, you also have to factor in pension, insurance, holiday pay, sick pay and more. And if your receptionist is away on sick leave or on vacation leave, you'll need to pay for some kind of short term replacement. A remote receptionist can be a much more cost-effective solution for your business. For a fraction of the cost of a full-time receptionist, you can enjoy professional telephone answering services that are even available 24/7 if that’s what you need.

As a small business owner, you are always looking for ways to get ahead of the competition. One of the biggest blocks to this growth is the lack of time you have to focus on strategy and major issues. You are constantly getting pulled away by minor issues and distractions, leaving no time to focus on the things that will really move your business forward. This is where our team of remote receptionists can make a big difference for you.

Our virtual receptionists are based in our high tech office location in Phoenix Arizona. Because we employ many telephonists we are always scalable and able to handle any sudden increase in calls.  At VH we give every business owner great support, so they can concentrate on making more revenue for their small business. Unlike some of our competition we never send any of our call answering to cheap overseas call centers. Almost all of our professionally trained receptionists are based right here in the USA.

Remote Receptionist – Remote Makes Sense

Some of our customers have said that they have made savings of more than 60% by employing a phone answer service. It really doesn’t make good financial sense anymore to employ your own staff to answer the phone – and still pay them when the phone isn’t ringing! Call Handling Services are a great way to resolve this issue.

Small Business Virtual Receptionist

 Whilst not true for all small businesses, as a general rule they are usually tight for cash. This is why a live small business answering service that you only need to pay when they are answering calls makes seriously good sense. When things are going great and calls and inquiries are flooding in you pay for answering services for small businesses to answer the calls and when things are a bit slower you don’t pay. Makes good sense for your small business.

Live Receptionist Service To Take Your Call

One of the greatest things about our service is that it can be live 24 hours a day 365 days per year. As we all know, these days people hate leaving messages on recorded systems. They generally hang up and if the call is urgent they will try another number, hopefully one of yours! With a live receptionist service working for you then you have someone who has your back 24/7. You can be sitting at home having dinner with the kids while our remote receptionist answers your calls and takes a message.

How Will It Work

Our remote receptionist service offers a seamless way to manage your calls. After you register for a free 7-day trial, we’ll allocate you a local or 800 number. You can use this number as your primary business number, or choose to divert your existing telephone number to the new one.

Then, simply let us know the personalized greeting you would like our remote receptionists to use when answering your calls. This greeting can be changed at any time by logging into our admin center or contacting our friendly customer care representatives.

When there is an incoming call. Our remote receptionist will answer it within around 6 rings. The caller will then be professionally welcomed on behalf of your business with your greeting. Depending on how you want your calls to be managed, you can then either receive an email with the details of the message or an SMS detailing the message, or have the call routed to another phone number.

Virtual Receptionist Service

A virtual receptionist service makes really good business sense for your small business. Firstly, it will free you up so that you have more time to focus on the important stuff and not answering all of those incoming telephone calls. Secondly, it gives you the opportunity to scale your business quite quickly as you are not limited to the number of staff who can be working on your project. Thirdly, you will get the same professional level of service every time we answer one of your calls. There will be no rushed responses and no negative tone.

Live Virtual Receptionist

A live virtual receptionist means that your callers are talking to a real live person every time that they call.
