Inbound Call Answering for Commercial Services

Who hasn’t heard the old saying, “Build a better mousetrap and they will come”? Well this used to be true but the Internet has changed all that. So now the saying really should be, “Promote your mousetrap better online and they will come” You’re not the only show in town and the people in the community that you serve know that. This in turn has the general client and customer base that you draw your business from spending more time shopping around. Now the good news here is that Courteous Communications stands at the ready to make this work in your favor.

This is Where We Come In

Live 24-hour phone service makes a huge difference in and of itself. This is because studies have proven that as many as 30% of callers who encounter voice mail or answering machines simply hangup. So that’s 30% of potential business right there that your competition may be simply ‘blowing off”. Clients and customers that are there for the taking, and we have the trained and experienced call service operators ready to step in to handle that job for you.

It’s the same thing with e-mails too. If you’re answering your e-mails from prospective clients and customers when get the time, for a lot of them it’s too late. They contacted more than one business, so it’s first come first serve. We respond ‘immediately’ to any and all e-mails that come in for your company and this alone can make a big showing on your bottom line.

Training and Experience Makes a Difference

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that all answering services are the same because they’re not. Just like any other businesses in the service sector each one is only as good as the workers that they employ, the training and tools that they give them to work with, and the managers who supervise them. At Courteous Communications all new perspective team members must first clear our rigid screening process. Then after that has been done we give them the training that’s required elevate them to our performance standards.
