benefits of after hours answering services Building a strong relationship with our customers means that we are there when they need us at any hour. In today’s connected world, our customers expect 24/7 availability from the companies they do business with. When customers feel that they need your assistance with something, they may reach out via phone, and if their call is forwarded to voicemail, 60% of them will hang up rather than leaving a message. This missed connection can force the customer to reach out to a competitor or even be a missed opportunity to engage the customer into purchasing more products or services. Each customer that you work with can be swayed by a competitor, especially when they are more available than you are. Have you ever visited a business that happened to be closed when you were ready to make a purchase? The disappointment of finding that business closed often forces someone to visit a different business and that unavailability will often leave a lasting impression. This is why a professional answering service can be beneficial to you, regardless of your business size or the industry you are in.

Keep Your Doors Open & Your Customers Happy

When your customer calls to chat about your services, regardless of the hour, a professional answering service will be there to guide them, answer their questions, address their concerns, etc. Whether you are a retail service or a medical office, calls come in at all hours.

When you partner with Responsive Answering Service, giving your customers or patients top-notch service is as much a concern for us as it is for you.

When Chartwell decided it was necessary to upgrade the answering system to accommodate the increase in calls during non-business hours, because of growth in business, we contacted Responsive Answering Service.

“Their representative met with our clinical management group. She listened intently as we described the current process for handling after hours calls, what our needs were, and what our expectations for a new system would be. She took our needs and wish list back to her developers and designers who came up with a customized system that gets text messages to the on-call staff in a timely and effective manner that allows us to deal with the issues that our patients are trying to get help with.

The timeliness of return calls has improved dramatically, and no calls are dropped or missed. Our customers ratings on ability to reach us after hours has scored 98%! We are extremely pleased with the service and the contribution it has made to an increase in our overall customer satisfaction scores.”
