What exactly is a Virtual Receptionist?

You can expect a Virtual Receptionist to assist in all of the ways that a traditional administrative support person would, aside from turning on the coffee maker. Think of an in-office receptionist, then double that. With our team, you’ll have the benefits of a full time staff, without the cost. Whether you’re busy, your team is busy or you don’t yet have a team, you can depend on a Virtual Receptionist to be there. Right when you need them.

What does a Virtual Receptionist do?

Ultimately, a Virtual Receptionist’s job is to help people. If a caller needs some general questions answered about your business, we’ve got their answer. If they need something more specific or request to talk to you, we can transfer the call directly to you or take down a detailed message that can be sent to you via email or text message.

We also can schedule appointments for you. While our competitors often use complicated software specialized for phone answering services that result in extra costs and wasted time, we have the ability to schedule directly into your Google Calendar. That means less data entry for you, and more time for building your business in other ways. After an appointment is made, we can schedule confirmation calls, ensuring your client will be there, right when you expect them.
