Guest post by: Nicolas DAlleva

Article Overview: Businesses throughout the United States are finding multiple benefits using an answering service or call center. Today's answering services offer a variety of options that can help businesses thrive.

Benefits of Using an Answering Service for Call Answering

While cell phones, voicemail, IVR, and other types of automation are unavoidable tools in today's society to further communication, nothing beats live operator and live voice interaction. When you customer needs to reach you, the last thing they want to speak to is a machine. Problems happen every day and routine calls are part of the day to day in any business. If you are looking to break free of automation and help raise your company to the next level, contact Specialty Answering Service. If your customers are ready to buy and they need to talk to someone now, having their calls answered by a machine will either force them to move to your competitor or lose faith in your business. Even if they leave a message, there is no guarantee of a return call. Messages can get lost, return calls put off, and other factors can prevent customer communication essentially putting up a roadblock. Specialty Answering Service helps your business by giving you a 24 hour live operator telephone answering service to pick up your phone calls. If your customers cannot reach you, the last thing you want is for them to move to your competition. You have worked hard for your business and hard developing your businesses reputation. Specialty Answering Service is a benefit to any business looking to improve their customer interaction and customer service.

When your customers call, they are ready to talk to someone now and an answering service can turn that want into a reality. Specialty Answering Service can give your business the impression of a large corporation which people more often trust then small mom and pop businesses. With large companies come warranties, after sales support, and more incentive. No question that people want to buy big and an answering service can help develop that image for you. Specialty Answering Service helps with repeat business and developing an image of dependability.

Specialty Answering Service can provide significant benefits to your company including:

A live answering service operator to pick up your phones when you are unavailable

Offering telephone answering service in an overflow, weekend, or holiday capacity when you are unavailable

Cost saving by not having to hire a full time receptionist, you hire a telephone answering service operator instead.

Increase your productivity by letting our answering service operators answer your calls instead of you or your office staff.

Never miss a call again. We are a 24 hour service so if your callers contact you at 2 am or 2 pm, we will be there

The benefits of an answering service are limitless. Besides the live voice it provides to your callers, it is also the 24 hour support that businesses require. Your office hours don't need to end at 5 when you leave the office. With a telephone answering service, your business is essentially open 24 hours a day and being represented by people who understand and care about you and your company. We can also help by possibly opening up new customers by offering our services in a bilingual capacity. If you live in a Spanish speaking area, our answering service can offer bilingual services that will open your company up to a whole new client base.

Re: Service Or Product? - I agree with starting a Service-based Business in the economy. Here is what I think is critical: 1. Researching that your Service business has a market. 2. Marketing the Service with as much leverage as possible. 3. Product-izing the Service (aka Package Expert Knowledge). This will only help elevate you as "the" expert in your niche and make you accessible to people in different price points.
Who Said Twitter Doesn't Work...? - Last month, the BBC World Service programme, The Strand, featured 21 year-old Icelandic pianist/composer Olafur Arnalds. Arnalds achieved extraordinary success through his internet-led project to compose 7 tunes in 7 days, post them on his website and then post links to it via TWITTER. As a result his website got thousands of visitors eager to listen to his music, catapulting him to fame and bringing his music to the attention of the BBC, who featured an interview with him on the World Service programme, The Strand! So who says Twitter doesn't work? (HINT: It does help if you have something uniquely your own that other people want to get hold of...)

I answer my phone - when I worked in the Call Center we had to say "Good XXXXXX, Andy speaking, How may I help you?" imagine saying that over and over again. It kind of sticks with you. It's been a few years now but I've kicked off "How may I help you?" part.
