Business owners face challenges every day, and small business owners typically must face those challenges with finite resources. Whether it is cash flow limitations, employee bandwidth, or something else altogether, businesses must choose what aspects of the business they want to focus on. Customer service is a key component for any business that wants to be successful long-term, yet it is often overlooked or under-served. A highly-trained and qualified phone answering service can address these limitations in an affordable way, and improve the business overall.
Benefits of an answering service
An answering service adds professionalism to even the smallest business. By allowing highly-trained customer service representatives to handle the bulk of your company’s customer service calls, your customers will get answers to their questions quickly and professionally. Of course, customer service representatives at an answering service are also trained to transfer calls that require a specific individual or department within your business, so there’s no need to worry about advanced or special calls getting where they need to go.
In addition to providing your existing customers with a quality experience, our customer service representatives are also highly-trained and qualified to help convert phone leads into customers. With experience across HVAC, hospitality, medical and more – our team wants to help grow your business while you focus on the core of your business. Our customer service representatives are well-versed in your business and can answer questions of potential customers and help turn them into loyal, repeating customers.
An answering service also allows the rest of your employees to focus on core business objectives. Those objectives will certainly vary depending on the business in question, but having simple and straightforward customer service calls handled by an answering service will free up your team to focus on the actual product, or even other administrative tasks, that your customers rely on.
Having an answering service working for your company means that your customers, vendors, and anyone else that needs to reach your business can do so, even outside of normal business hours. Since an answering service can be available 24/7, customers calling in can speak to a live person instead of simply leaving a message in the hopes that the right person will hear it and respond promptly. For truly urgent calls, a forwarding service is a viable option as well.
A risk-free 7-day trial makes the decision easy
