Benefits Of A Live Answering Service With 24/7/365 Support
A 24/7/365 live answering service is your trusted partner in phone communication and customer service. The benefits of a live answering service such as Responsive include:- The ability to capture calls outside of standard business hours: With clients in different time zones, it may be difficult for your staff to answer every call. A live answering service works around the clock, which means your callers from across the country or the globe will receive the same level of professional service as your local customers.
- Cost savings: Leveraging an answering service for your business can result in annual savings ranging from $30,000 to $60,000. As compared to full-time in-house customer service representatives or receptionists, a live answering service significantly lowers your operational costs.
- Shorter hold times for callers: The average American will spend 43 days of their life on hold, which can be frustrating. Answering services answer calls promptly, ensuring that callers don’t have to wait in long queues. At Responsive, our average queue time is just 20 seconds.
- Bilingual support: Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the US. One in eight U.S. households speaks Spanish as their primary language at home. A bilingual answering service ensures that businesses like yours can effectively communicate with Spanish-speaking customers who may not be fluent in English or may prefer to converse in Spanish.
