Small business owners face the challenge every year of balancing time off for their employee’s with maintaining customer service levels for their customers. It’s a difficult thing to do when most small businesses operate with less than ten employees. In today’s competitive market it’s too risky for a small business to just close up shop for a few days and not have anyone there to take customer calls and respond to emails. Just sending callers to a voicemail when you aren’t in the office doesn’t cut it anymore. The market is too competitive.
In a recent survey of over ten thousand consumers, 3 out of 4 people said they hang up and dial the next company if they get a voicemail. A wake up call to those who still think it’s acceptable to use an answering machine outside normal business hours.
Businesses that cut corners in customer service can end up paying a far greater price in other ways. A customer who calls a business and gets a busy signal, voicemail or their call doesn’t get answered, is going to take their money elsewhere.
So, how do the smart small business owners of America manage to keep their businesses running while they’re enjoying the holidays with their loved ones? Answering service providers like VoiceNation have become a popular partner to businesses who need this sort of continuity whether it’s a long holiday weekend, after hours, weekends or overflow during normal office hours.
