Qualities of the Best Answering Services
If you have been looking in to partnering with different answering services, you may have considerations beyond simple cost. If you feel you need or even want something that offers services beyond a typical call center or generic answering service, you’ll need to ask yourself a few questions. Chief among these questions you should be asking yourself is “what features am I looking to get out of a specialty answering service?” While you may not know the answer to this question, you should know that the best answering services are specialty answering services that provide a myriad of premium features at no additional cost such as: call handling, message taking and legal intake.
Fortunately, these are all services that some of the best answering services, such as specialty answering service Answering Legal, offer as a part of their comprehensive business packages. With that in mind, here are some of the benefits that the best answering services offer to their customers and clients.
Call Handling
One of the most important aspects of how any answering service conducts themselves is their proficiency with call handling. While a generic live answering service may be able to take a message and give it to a business owner, a specialty answering service such as Answering Legal will take this further by employing sophisticated scripting and intake protocols to make sure that all calls are handled efficiently and up to your specifications. This will ensure that you never miss the opportunity to capture new business or entice potential clients or customers.
24/7 Live Answering Service
Many live answering services are only concerned with answering the phone during business hours. However, many potential customers or clients actually prefer to call before or after the hours of 9am or 5pm due to their own personal and work schedules. Having one of the best answering services around, such as Answering Legal, help man the phones even outside of your business hours of operations will ensure that you are able to capture new business that comes in when your staff is not available.
Message Taking and Legal Intake
What separates Answering Legal as one of the best answering services is their detailed message taking and legal intake services. Answering Legal’s virtual receptionists are specifically trained in the legal intake process, and know just the right amount of information to request for client and custom intake forms and are great in adapting to the philosophy of a specific business or law firm.
These services, along with offering a comprehensive support staff and bilingual virtual receptionists, are what makes some of the best answering services, including Answering Legal, create the best possible reputation in the answering service industry. When shopping around for a live answering service, make sure that they offer these services and are able to work with your business or law firm in a way that expands the core customer facing philosophy that you’ve set up without compromising your reputation of business values.
