If you find yourself too busy running your business to answer every single phone call that comes in, you might want to consider a call answering service. After all, calls are customers and leads, and that’s the lifeblood of your company. By missing out on calls, you’re missing out on providing great customer service to existing customers.
You’re also missing out on potential leads when you don’t answer the phone. Prospective customers are less likely to leave a voicemail than they are to just call the next business. And the business who picks up first is most likely to get that new customer.
What does a call answering service do?
It depends on the call answering service that you choose. At the most basic level, you forward your number to the answering service. A team of live operators will be at the ready to answer your calls and take messages. The messages are then sent to you. Then you’re able to choose who to call back and when. But there’s a lot more that certain call answering services can do.
Why VoiceNation is the best call answering service.
