Blog: Virtual Receptionists

An answering service is an integral part of any business that wants to keep up (and keep in touch) these days. This partnership can help your business grow in several different ways, from increasing leads and conversions to reducing the costs associated with customer service and phone support. Of course, not all answering services are created equal and you’ll want to make sure that you take the time to find the best one for your needs.

You asked. We listened. Smith.ai is expanding our outbound calling capabilities based on your feedback! You can now have us make a one-time call to anyone right from your dashboard.

The phone is always ringing—or at least, it should be if business is good. And yet, you don’t exactly want to be tethered to the desk all day or have your time eaten up by fielding phone calls left and right. How are you supposed to find the balance? As a decision-maker or business owner, it’s your job to talk to people and make sure that everyone who contacts your company gets what they need. That starts by answering the phone.

Receptionists are a great asset. Of course, like anything, you have to make sure that they’re working efficiently to deliver the solutions that you need. A receptionist can answer a lot of phone calls in a day—some field hundreds of calls. Others may only take a dozen or so. Ultimately, it depends on the type of receptionist that you have, the type of calls involved, and so forth.

As a business owner, you’ve got a lot on your plate. The average business is not equipped to handle 24-hour calls, emails, and online messages. Start thinking about hiring a dedicated answering service to handle all of your calls and messaging needs. Whether you’re just tired of picking up the phone or you simply don’t have the people to handle the work, virtual receptionists can be the face of your brand, fielding all kinds of communication while you focus on the other things that need your attention.
