What Does A Virtual Office Receptionist Do?

What Does A Virtual Office Receptionist Do?

They’re an extra pair of hands – but without the cost!

If you’re looking for support with receptionist duties such as answering calls, booking appointments, and taking orders, then using a Virtual Receptionist could be just the solution you’re looking for.

A Virtual Receptionist is always a more cost-effective option than directly employing a receptionist yourself, providing support just when you need it, and not a drain on resources when you don’t.

Here’s a few examples of the type of tasks that a Virtual Office Receptionist could help you with:

  • Answer calls in your company name just as if they were based in your office (if you have an office)
  • Take messages, including full contact details, ask qualifying questions
  • Answer queries or transfer callers to you
  • Return calls and pass on messages
  • Take and process over the phone orders
  • Book and rearrange appointments
  • Update contact details and CRM systems

Virtual Office Receptionists offer you an easy and flexible way to benefit from some extra support for your business without any long-term financial commitments, and without the hassle of employing and training an employee. Here’s just a few examples of some of the many benefits:

  • You’re in control – use the service all the time, or just when you need some extra help
  • Saves money – only pay for the support you need. You don’t have to pay sick pay, holiday pay, maternity leave, pension, employers’ national insurance etc
  • Never miss a call – you won’t lose out on business simply because you missed the call
  • Gives a great first impression to all callers, improving your company image and customer service
  • Reduces the stresses of people management – you don’t need to recruit and manage an employee
  • You don’t need an office or any equipment – saves money by eliminating the requirement to provide space, a desk, PC, phone etc for an extra person
  • Allows you to get on with your work without being interrupted by the phone
