Telephone answering service

As a business owner, you know how important it is to make a good first impression with your customers. However, if you're struggling to keep up with incoming calls, it can be difficult to provide the level of customer service you want to. That's where a telephone answering service comes in.

By outsourcing your call answering needs to a team of professionals, you can improve customer satisfaction and ensure that every call is answered promptly and professionally. In this blog post, we'll explore how a telephone answering service can help small businesses improve their customer service and grow their bottom line.

The benefits of a telephone answering service

You can avoid any more missed business opportunities with the help of call answering services. Small businesses can struggle to answer every call, especially during peak hours or when they are short-staffed. A telephone answering service can ensure that all incoming calls are answered promptly and professionally, regardless of the time of day. This can prevent customers from experiencing long wait times, busy signals, or even having to leave a message.

By providing prompt and professional call answering services, small businesses can increase customer retention over time.

A telephone answering service can also free up valuable time for small business owners to focus on other important tasks, such as sales, marketing, and product development. This can ultimately lead to increased revenue and growth for the business.

The Different Types of Telephone Answering Services Available

If you are considering implementing a telephone answering service for your small business, it's important to understand the different types of services available. Here are some of the most common types of telephone answering services:

Office
  • Live answering service: With a live answering service, a professional operator will answer all of your incoming calls and handle them according to your instructions. This service can be customized to fit your specific business needs, such as appointment scheduling, customer support, or lead generation.
  • Virtual receptionist: A virtual receptionist operates similarly to a live answering service, but the difference is that the service is provided remotely. Calls are forwarded to a professional receptionist who will answer and handle calls on behalf of your business. This type of service can be a cost-effective alternative to hiring a full-time receptionist.
  • Automated answering service: An automated answering service uses pre-recorded messages to handle incoming calls. The caller will be prompted to press a button to select the appropriate department or to leave a message. This service is often used for businesses that receive a high volume of calls, such as medical practices or insurance companies.
  • Call forwarding: Call forwarding is a simple and cost-effective solution that involves forwarding calls to another phone number. This can be a great option for businesses with a small staff that need to ensure that all calls are answered.

When selecting a telephone answering service, it's important to choose a service that fits your specific needs. Consider the volume of calls you receive, the nature of your business, and your budget when making your decision. By selecting the right service, you can ensure that your customers receive excellent service and improve your overall customer satisfaction.

How it works

How PA2GO revolutionises the way you run your business

Getting started with us could not be simpler. The complete set up process is done same day and usually within an hour or so of your initial enquiry. Your PA will:

  • Answer all calls professionally in your company name
  • Send you an instant text message and email with details of the call (name, number, time, brief message)
  • Keep a log of all calls answered
  • Filter unwanted calls, leaving you free to concentrate on your business
  • Act as your professional front office, taking care of all your calls and ensuring you never miss a professional opportunity

How the process works:

  • 1
    Step 1

    Step 1

    We ask you to complete a simple online questionnaire which gives us all the data we require to set up your account. This will include things like, contact details, who to send the messages to, details about your products and services along with anything else to allow us to answer your calls like we are working in your office.

    Step 2

    Step 2

    We can then either supply you with a local rate or freephone number to use, or we simply divert all your incoming calls from your existing phone to your PA in our office. This is done by supplying you with what's called a DDI number.

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Each time a call comes into your DDI number, it will automatically pop up on your PA's screen, all the information about your company including, how you want your calls answered and all the other information we originally ask you for. We can even add notes here should you ask us to update any information or advise you are in meetings etc. There is complete flexibility to update and adjust your call options at any time at no extra cost.

    Step 4

    Step 4

    During the call, we can either take a message, give our prices, book appointments and anything else a typical PA or receptionist would do if they were based in your own office. We can also patch/divert a call to you directly if you prefer.

    Step 5

    Step 5

    Once the message is taken, we collate this into a brief text message and email, instantly pinging this across to you direct within seconds of taking the call.
