VIRTUAL RECEPTIONIST

Australian Based Virtual Reception Service Designed to Suit All Types of Business Requirements

Go To Plans

Make a Positive First Impression with a Virtual Receptionist

Australian Based. Tailored Solutions. Short or Long Term.

The virtual reception service is ideally suited to a business requiring a professional telephone answering solution where calls are transferred directly to the intended recipient. The service is designed to be used in place of in-house receptionists who handle inbound calls. It may be used as a permanent reception service that handles all incoming calls, or for overflow and temporary call diversions of the main business line. It's also ideally suited as an after-hours service for businesses requiring longer operating hours.

Customers create their first impressions of your business within the first 7 seconds of initial contact, with the majority of customers stating that tone of voice dramatically impacts their experience. Unlike a traditional voicemail service which is usually automated or impersonal, a virtual receptionist is a friendly and professional person who sounds like they are of your own reception staff when they answer your calls.

Australian Based Call Centre

Our operators and call centre are located in Australia. You can rest assured we have the local knowledge to understand your business and provide an outstanding service.

Customised Scripts and Caller Info

The phone answering scripts used by the operators are fully customised to your business requirements. Our flexible options are designed to meet almost any business need.

Permanent or Short Term

Choose between a permanent service or a short-term answering solution for those busy periods or throughout the holiday season.

A Better Alternative to Voicemail

In recent studies, it was found that majority of callers sent to voicemail will not leave a message. This may lead to missed opportunities, costing you potential business. Having your calls forwarded to a virtual receptionist ensures you never miss a call again and is an easy way to grow your business.

 

Use the Service with Multiple Phone Devices

Every virtual reception service is allocated a unique AUS landline number with your choice of the area prefix. You can then use the number to divert calls from one or a number of devices including a business PBX system, mobile phones, inbound 1300/1800 numbers and soft phones. Use the time-based routing function of your PBX or 1300/1800 number, or the call forwarding features of your mobile or soft phone, to automatically route all calls to the virtual reception service.

Key Benefits

 

Schedule Where Calls are Transferred

Our service can accommodate changes in where calls and messages are sent to based on the time of day or week. This can be a useful feature for businesses with rosters or changing on-call staff. Our call centre team is also able to temporarily change which contact is transferred during certain periods of time, such as annual leave or when you are simply out of the office.

Scripting Changes

Scripting can be altered at any time, either temporarily or as a permanent change. Our operators can use a different script during your requested periods of time such as weekends, public holidays or business conferences.

Provide the Operators with Your Business Details

A virtual receptionist can provide callers with answers to general questions such as street address, your business’s operating hours or a general email for the callers to use. This can make the caller feel as if there are talking to one of your own staff, as well as giving them valuable information about your business.

Utilise Our Call Report for Data Entry

Each week, our call centre sends you a weekly activity report with all the calls answered and the information collected. This call report can be easily used to import contacts into your CRM database, saving you the time from manually entering in the data collected yourself.

Who Uses Virtual Reception Services?

Customer Case Study

Michael owns a body corporate organisation that manages multiple properties throughout different suburbs. The organisation receives a large number of calls every day from residents needing assistance. However, Michael's office only operates during standard business hours.

Michael directs all after hour calls to the Virtual Reception service, where one of our operators answer on behalf of his business. The operator from the virtual office then transfers the calls to the designated on-call team member. As the service is 24/7, an operator is always available to take Michael's call, no matter what time it is.

This provided Michael with a seamless call management solution, to help ensure all his residents receive the assistance they require in a timely manner.
