Virtual Receptionist Service

24/7 Live Telephone Answering Service

A virtual receptionist performs the same tasks as a traditional secretary or receptionist, such as answering your phones, patching calls, and taking messages on your behalf. However, unlike with a secretary, you will not have to pay an answering service's virtual receptionist salary, benefits, or any of the many costs associated with an additional employee.

Keep Costs Down

According to salary.com, a receptionist earns a median salary of $2,502 per month and $30,025 per year—a cost to you not including benefits or payroll taxes. Our 24/7 live virtual receptionist service costs a fraction of this amount; moreover, our virtual receptionists are always available, so you never have to worry about missing calls when your receptionist goes out to lunch—or after business hours, on weekends, or on holidays. No matter when your customers call, our virtual receptionist service operators are always ready to answer your phone.

Save Time, Save Money

A virtual receptionist service can filter telephone calls and messages based on a customized protocol you define. Instead of wasting time on calls that can wait, let a virtual receptionist service screen and prioritize phone calls for you. In this way, our virtual receptionist services have been known to increase business efficiency and let business owners and staff focus on what matters most. You tell us which messages you need to receive and which customers our virtual receptionists should patch immediately. Leave the detail work to us!

Be Flexible

Whether you are in the office or on the go, count on virtual receptionists at our award-winning virtual receptionist service to hold down the fort. Virtual receptionists at our answering service will act as an extension of your business at all times every day affording you the freedom to leave the office and the peace of mind knowing every customer call will be answered promptly and with the utmost professionalism.
