Telephone Messaging Answering Services During 3-Day Holiday Weekends

A Courteous Answering Service hopes you had an amazing 3-day weekend; enjoying the time off with family and friends this past President’s Day. If you are like many businesses that were closed to observe this national holiday, we welcome you back to the office this fine Tuesday morning. We know that the extra day of rest was nice, but that you will most likely spend a large portion of your workday returning phone calls that were missed the past three days. There is a better and more efficient way to spend your first day back in the office and we want to share how a telephone messaging answering services could save your business a whole lot of time and money during future 3-day weekends.

What our telephone messaging answering services can do for you business

Answering Machine Messaging Duty

We can picture what’s happening in your office right now. You just opened the doors, turned on the lights and started to brew your first pot of coffee for the day. The answering machine light is blinking at you, begging for you to retrieve all of the messages your business received during the long weekend. You sit down at the receptionist desk and fumble with the telephone, pen and message pad. Your robotic machine lets you know that there are twenty messages waiting for you.

You take the time to go through the first five phone messages, writing down the important information before deleting them and moving on to the next message. You are about to listen to the sixth phone message in line and your business telephone rings persistently. You don’t have a virtual receptionist team that can answer your overflow calls when you are busy so, you have to abandon the task of writing messages down midway.     

You hang up on your answering machine to answer the new incoming phone call and help the customer with their question. After hanging up the receiver, you pick it right back up to continue taking down the stored messages. You learn that ten of the phone messages were just dead silence before a click, indicating your caller hung up without leaving a message. Any business owner knows that a caller hanging up is like a consumer leaving the checkout line because they were tired of waiting. No message left equals no sale made!

After writing down all of your messages, you now begin the task of calling the customers back to get a better understanding of how you can assist them or, delivering the message to the appropriate department to handle the return call.

This process can take hours of your important productivity time and even days if you get voicemails when you make the return calls. Let’s learn how a 24 hour telephone answering service could save you this mundane task each time you return from a 3-day weekend.
