Professional Greeting

Turn your mobile into a powerful sales tool

A higher number of calls are answered on a mobile phone than ever before. With remote and home working, the mobile phone is the perfect way to answer calls on the move. Using the Virtual Receptionist in conjunction with the mobile phone gives users peace of mind knowing that calls have a professional introduction at all times. In addition, the whisper message played as a call notifier to help identify a business call from a personal call.

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

Professionally recorded messages from introduction to busy and out of hours

Virtual Receptionist

The Virtual Receptionist solution gives you comfort in knowing that all callers are handled with care, no matter the time of day or your availability to answer the phone. Choose from male or female voice artists for your recordings. These can be customised to suit your business, for example:-

"Thank you for calling Prime Roofing, London and Kent's leading specialists in grp, fibreglass, felt, tiled roofs or pitched roofs. Your call will be answered shortly by a member of our team."

For calls received whilst you are busy or if the call is made outside of working hours, a script is created to enhance your professional image.

FAQs

What is a Virtual Receptionist?

Virtual Receptionist is a call feature added to geographic and non-geographic inbound business numbers. The call feature is designed to create the perfect first impression of the company over the phone. Once the call connects, a recorded message plays an introduction audio "Thank you for calling Flex IT Services, a leading provider of technical support across London. Your call is important to us and will be answered by a member of the team". The script is bespoke to your business, recorded by a male or female voice artist.

How does a Virtual Receptionist work?

The perfect introduction to your company is created using voice artist recorded messages to handle your incoming calls at all times. A welcome message, busy and out-of-hours (voicemail) message is applied to the business number.

How do I add a Virtual Receptionist to my business number?

The Virtual Receptionist can be assigned to any business number including geographic numbers that start 01 or 02 or non-geographic ranges starting 08 and 03. A number will need to be placed into the cloud, with online call control and upgrades in order to access the features of Virtual Receptionist including Bespoke Announcements, Call Whisper and the easy-to-use Call Routing number management plan.

Will a Virtual Receptionist make me look professional?

Yes, a Virtual Receptionist greets callers with a polished and consistent script, creating a professional impression and enhancing your brand image.

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.
