FAQs

What are Simultaneous Targets?

Having Simultaneous Targets essentially provides a way to direct incoming business calls to multiple target numbers at the same time. For example, if you had office as well as home workers, incoming calls would ring through to both groups of staff and the first person to pick up the phone will answer the call.

Why choose Simultaneous Targets?

Directing calls to multiple locations can be hugely beneficial when receiving a high volume of calls to your business. The higher number of target numbers allocated, the higher chance there is for a quicker pick-up of the call. This means that there's more chance of increased calls received and sales conversions made to your business.

Can Simultaneous Targets Boost Sales?

It's understandable that businesses with high call volumes can often have calls ringing through for longer than they'd like, if not missed entirely due to busy periods. Simultaneous Targets can help to minimise the time it takes to answer each call by directing them to additional members of staff including remote workers and alternative sites. With more people available to answer the call, you're less likely to miss out on vital sales enquires.

WEB-BASED CALL MANAGEMENT PORTAL
Web-based Call Management

Calls to your business number can be diverted to your target (landline or mobile) during your operational business hours. Once you have configured your 'in-hours', choose where you would like to divert calls 'outside of working hours'. If calls are not configured to be diverted outside working hours, then voicemail-to-email is activated, meaning that calls are always captured.

Open the Call Manager to access the time schedule and set business open hours. Calls received in-hours can be configured to route to any UK landline number (01/02) or UK mobile (07). Your call-forwarding changes are saved and active at the click of a button.

Calls received outside business hours can also be routed to phone or voicemail. Ensure that you can identify business calls when answering from a mobile or home phone outside of business hours.

THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO YOUR BUSINESS
Virtual Receptionist

More calls are being answered on mobile phones than ever before, a trend that's only growing with the rise of remote and home working. The mobile phone, with its portability and flexibility, is the perfect tool for handling calls on the move. When paired with the Virtual Receptionist, it provides users with a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that every call is professionally introduced. The whisper message feature further enhances this, helping users distinguish between personal and business calls.

With the Virtual Receptionist, the caller will never hear your personal mobile voicemail message. It is less professional to hear "You are through to the Giff Gaff mobile voicemail" than "Thank you for calling Prime Roofing; please leave a message after the tone, and a team member will call you back within 24 hours." This helps with your brand image, giving the impression of a large, reputable, well-established business, boosting your confidence and credibility.
