How to Know if You Need Remote Reception

Remote reception services can be a blessing to overstretched businesses, but many business owners don’t take advantage of this service. Here’s how to know if you need remote reception for your business.

You struggle to find customer service coverage when employees take time off

If your staff struggles to cover the receptionist or customer service desk when those employees take time off, you could benefit from remote reception services. Don’t let your customers feel neglected when your employees take time off, and don’t make your employees feel guilty for taking time away. Use remote reception services to bridge the gap in coverage and keep everyone happy.

You have customers in different time zones than your business

You want to be there for all of your customers, but some are just waking up when you’re going to bed. Remote reception services can cater to customers in any time zone, so you never leave any of them feeling neglected.

Your business is growing faster than your staff

You don’t want to miss any call, but you just don’t have enough staff or time to get to them all. Using a remote reception service allows you to service more people at any given time, so you don’t have to miss those important calls and sales opportunities. Plus, you don’t have to pay a salary and benefits for new staff members. You only pay a monthly fee, and you can adjust your plan based when your call volume fluctuates.

You want to provide better service to your callers

If you strive to ensure that every caller receives a warm, personal greeting, but you find that, more often than not, your employees can’t find the time to get to everyone, remote reception is definitely a good option for you. Trained professionals know exactly how to greet and communicate with your callers so that they’ll keep coming back for more.
