What is a call answering service?

A call answering service is a professional team of personal assistants who are available to take your calls, log messages, capture leads or forward calls to you – 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

A call answering service provider handles your calls when you’re in a meeting, on holiday, or any other time you might require them. Call answering service assistants can answer and screen calls to your business specifications, easing the burden for your staff and increasing the quality of inbound leads for your sales team.

Why you need a call answering service

Within your business, we understand that it can be difficult for you, and your staff to take time away from the office, whether you’re in a meeting, on holiday, or at a conference. The stresses of ensuring that your business is in safe hands can be overwhelming, and the costs of hiring, and training a receptionist to help manage workloads is not always the best option.

A call answering service is cost-effective. And, can also help to increase overall business productivity. By hiring a call answering service provider, you can avoid hiring new staff to handle calls during busy periods. Which can help to reduce your business’ overheads thanks to a reduced wage bill.

Call answering services are typically a far more cost-effective solution for businesses – with Windsor Telecom’s call answering service 

Secondly, your existing staff will not have to spend time out of their already busy days training new employees, freeing them up to focus more on other key business areas.
