The Man of Many Hats

I wear a few hats here at AccessDirect. I handle two different areas of responsibility during each workday. I'm the technical support on escalation, answering questions about the esoteric bits of programming as well as unraveling complex issues and change requests on our more labyrinthian programs. When a prospective customer wants four levels of menus on their hosted/virtual PBX, with different extensions for escalation at each level, it tends to fall in my lap to program. I also handle the billing for AccessDirect, handling all of our monthly invoices and answering customer questions and addressing their concerns. It's this kind of versatility that gives AccessDirect its strength.

To put it simply, those other hosted/virtual PBX companies aren't going to do what we at AccessDirect do because they can't do what we do. No one else has the knowledge and the expertise to handle the type of programming we fire out on a daily basis. When you call one of those other companies, you're getting someone on the front line with a script and pre-programmed responses, and when you ask them to step outside of their prepared replies, they're going to stumble and you're going to go away unhappy and still searching.

When you call AccessDirect, you're getting an expert. Our customer service people have done programming. Our programmers have handled accounting. Our billing department has taken sales. Our sales staff has worked in customer service. No matter who you get at AccessDirect, you're going to get your question answered, and you can rest assured that you've got the best in the business helping you out.

That expertise lets us give you, the customer, the best possible virtual phone system money can buy. With those other companies, you're getting a number and a couple of extensions, and good luck if you want them to do anything different -- you'll have to figure that out yourself. With AccessDirect, though, you're getting the experts at your side, and we can set your virtual phone system up exactly how you want it.

Do you want to take every call live before they get your list of extensions? We can do that.

Do you want to have a mix of one-digit extensions, two-digit extensions, all the way up to eight-digit extensions? We can do that.

Do you want to set your calls to be transferred to the office during business hours and your cell phone after hours, all without you having to press a button or set it each day? We can do that.

Do you want to have ten different departments all ring to one number, but notify you as to which button the caller hit? We can do that.

No question is too big or too small -- just give one of us a call or send an email. No matter what you need, you'll get the answer you're looking for here.

Just let me get the right hat.
