When you imagine your summer vacation, do you hear the gentle sound of the waves being drowned out by the non-stop droning of your cell phone?\u00a0Worrying about your customers while you’re trying to escape from reality will\u00a0definitely put a damper on things.\u00a0You know that even one missed call can have an impact on your bottom line. And that\u2019s where your answering service comes in. Operators can ensure that no call will go unanswered, giving your valued customers the 24\/7 attention they need.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on the fence about whether your business can function without you while you are cliff diving in Mallorca, then the list below will push you over the edge!<\/p>\n

Top 6 Reasons You Should Use an Answering Service While on Vacation<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You have nothing to lose.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Even basic message taking is better than sending people to your voicemail. Most answering services offer a free trial<\/a>, so you won\u2019t need to pay to find out if it\u2019s the right fit for your business.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You can still connect with key customers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Your answering service can program a script to transfer<\/a> important calls to you such as large account holders, major sales leads, or emergency calls. There will be calls you just can\u2019t afford to miss, and we will make sure you get those calls!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Callers can be routed to your support staff.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Chances are that your entire company isn\u2019t on vacation\u00a0with you. So, we can route calls to the employees who are handling your accounts while you\u2019re away, or contact\u00a0specific departments such as Billing or Customer Service.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. You\u2019re a click away from every detail.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Forget listening to voicemail and jotting down call details.\u00a0If you\u2019re using an answering service, there\u2019s no need. Just log in to your message portal<\/a> to see a line-by-line list of who called, when, and why.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Your answering service can keep the ball rolling.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you run a busy e-commerce business, an answering service can do everything you can do: order taking, returns, shipping info, customer care \u2013 it\u2019s all possible. Then, you can take care of the backend details when you return.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Setting appointments is a breeze.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              As long as your calendar<\/a> is accessible and operator-friendly, answering services can fill appointment slots and keep your\u00a0schedule packed. After the jet lag wears off, you can get right back into the swing of things.<\/p>\n

              Before you schedule the vacation of your dreams, hire an answering service<\/a> to field your calls. Get started on your free SAS trial today, and start packing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
