How does your service work?
Our clients call forward their telephone to a unique
number at our service. Call forwarding is
available through your telephone carrier and likely
already available on your phone. Your phone company
charges for call forwarding service and the service
is usually under $4.00 per month. When you forward
your phone we answer. It’s that simple.

What happens after my
phone number is forwarded to your service?
Our sophisticated answering system reads the number
and alerts the operator that your phone is ringing.
Your profile is displayed on our system computer
screen to guide the operator on how to handle your
call. Naturally, over time our receptionists become
familiar with your needs and are always alerted to
updates.
What kind of experience
does the operator have?
Longevity of our core staff separates us from our
competition. We realize experience is vital so we
pay above industry standards, offer benefits, and
provide a bright, clean and friendly working
environment. The staff is carefully screened,
tested, and trained before answering your phone.
Excellent training and supervision is the backbone
to our high standard of quality. We know our
people really make the difference in giving
excellent service.
What role does your
equipment play in providing high quality service?
Our specialized equipment was created for our
industry. It was designed by and is constantly
modified by people that are directly involved in the
business and understand the needs of our customers.
Our system assists the operator in quickly and
easily entering information based on your
instructions to allow them to provide information, ask questions, make referrals, and
respond to most any situation.
Imagine a customized
information section designed just for you that
guides the operator through the call. The system is
so sophisticated that automation takes over to either
prompt the operator or perform tasks to enhance
speed and accuracy. The answering system gives us
tools to do more than answer your phone. We can
partner with you as an extension of your office and
help you become more efficient and profitable.
How do I get my messages?
You have many options. We can
email, fax, page, text to your cell phone, voice
mail, or call you. You decide. And, if necessary, we
can deliver simultaneously to your associates. We
also offer a combination of these options to help
you manage your time. For example, we can fax or
email all of your after hours messages to you each
morning for your review even after we have delivered
the call to an on-call staff member the night
before. A great tool to help you manage your staff.
We have many emergency
calls, how are they handled?
Emergency and urgent calls are given priority. Once
the information is captured the operator activates
the priority, which is pre-programmed into our system's computer. A highly skilled operator
immediately has the call flash on the screen with
instructions. All instructions are programmed to
include speed dial and/or automated delivery
depending on your instructions. The call remains in
the cue and continues to return to the dispatcher’s
computer screen in designated time increments until
it is delivered and cleared by the dispatcher.

Why would we choose a service
with live answer and response over voice mail?
Voice mail is a great tool. We use it
in our office to enhance our efficiency, but the
fact is a vast majority of your customers like
talking to a real person when they call their doctor
or business. Many industries have alienated their
customers with voice mail and lack of human contact.
It costs more, but many of our customers know the
value we provide when their customers hear a voice
and know someone is ready to assist them. Having a
live service pays for itself in customer retention,
improved efficiency, and goodwill. |
