Business today is mobile, flexible and fast-paced. Customers call when it’s convenient for them, and they expect quick responses. Virtual, cloud-based answering services directly answer these needs.
However, when you’re looking to set up a virtual phone system, things can get confusing fast. What’s a PBX system? Do you really need that inter-office communication hub to do everything you want? Many people (and businesses) become lost in the sea of options and technology.
At the end of the day, you need a simple way to greet your callers with a professionally recorded virtual receptionist, customize the messages they hear, and direct them to the right place. That shouldn’t be difficult.
A quality virtual phone service provider should be able to offer:
- Clear solutions
- Easy implementation
- Explanations of technology (“How does this work?”)
- Considerate, consistent customer service
If you don’t feel like your virtual receptionist service is helping to free up your schedule and serve your customers, it might be time to switch.

Improved Efficiency From Call Automation
Today’s technology means that many tasks can be automated — including answering and transferring phone calls, sending messages via voice or text, and recording and transcribing messages.
According to McKinsey, an incoming call can cost a company up to $10 when handled by a live receptionist, while an automated virtual receptionist costs as little as 20 cents.
With a virtual receptionist, you can save time that would typically be spent on routine tasks and instead spend it on higher value tasks such as customer service, lead generation, or improving your business.
