Freedom From Voicemail

Forbes report 80% of callers directed to voicemail don't leave a message.

Be The Business Who Responds First

Research by The Brevet Group found that, depending on sector, 30-50% of sales went to the business which responded first.

Armed with this current information, you might want to ask yourself 2 questions:

  • What percentage of your advertising budget is being wasted?
  • What volume of revenue wanted to come your way but went to a competitor who answered the phone first time?

The best time for you to have met your receptionist would have been yesterday. Unfortunately we can't turn the clock back, so when for you is the next best time?

I already have a phone number that my customers use, what happens then?

Most clients divert their existing business number on overflow as a safety net to catch the calls they had been missing. This is highly effective in maximising opportunity and prevents wasted advertising budget. The speed of messaging puts you in front of your customer before they have had the time to call your competitors.

How will I know that I have missed a call?

You can choose any combination of methods to receive and access message details. We send messages to you / your staff by text message, by email and via our online portal, where communication is stored permanently for retrieval at any time. The data includes the amount of time your receptionist has taken to represent your business on every call to aid reconciliation. All data are available for download.

How will my receptionist know how to answer for you and what to say?

When your customer calls, your company screen will open for your receptionist. It contains all the information required to represent your business professionally. Your receptionist will use your customised greeting to answer your customer calls and will represent you professionally. Your customer will know they have reached your business and leave the caller confident that you will respond when you are able.

Is there a fee to sign up or register?

There are no sign up or registration fees. Simply pay the first month charge for your chosen number and purchase the credit you require.

Am I tied in to a long contract. How do I cancel if I want?

Change in life and business circumstance is a constant. If for whatever reason the service is no longer required, simply cease to use it and not purchase any further credit, as there is no contract term to be tied in to. Your chosen phone number can be retained and used without use of the receptionist service, for as long as you require, by topping up credit for your phone number usage only.
