How to Choose Small Business Virtual Receptionists

5 Steps to Choosing a Virtual Receptionist for your small business

1. Decide whether you’ll need a dedicated group of receptionists.

Phone answering companies frequently employ hundreds or even thousands of receptionists to answer incoming calls. When someone answers, they will receive a script with your customized greeting and (certainly) a pronunciation guide, but they won’t learn anything about your company.

Veta virtual receptionist assigns you a small team that is experienced to handle the calls and work with you to educate them on call handling.

2. Assessing your needs

It’s tempting to believe that 24 hour virtual receptionist is superior, but there may be drawbacks.

Some businesses, for example, employ local receptionists during regular business hours, but remote call centers in other time zones for overnight shifts.

If you want specialized legal answering services, Veta virtual answering services should be your first choice.

3. Do you need a virtual assistant too ?

You may hire a virtual receptionist just to take calls, but many of them provide other services such as appointment scheduling and confirmation, client intake, live chat, or even accepting payments and signing retainer agreements. Some services may cost you additional money beyond the amount of time.

Some virtual receptionist services, on the other hand, come with additional features like client intake or appointment scheduling. Availability varies, as does the service’s timeliness. Some virtual receptionists are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while others are only available during office hours (typically extended to accommodate several North American time zones).
