If you’ve ever watched television for more than five minutes at a time, then there’s a solid chance you’ve seen the Lincoln commercial featuring everyone’s favorite Texan, Matthew McConaughey. \u201cIt\u2019s not about hugging trees. It\u2019s not about being wasteful, either. You just gotta find that balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you’re having trouble finding that balance, you’ll definitely want to let Specialty Answering Service\u00a0handle\u00a0your calls.\u00a0Enlisting the help of\u00a0an answering service<\/a>\u00a0to manage your phone support can help you \u201cGo Green\u201d and \u201cSave Green\u201d at the same time, granola\u00a0optional. Call centers are an eco-friendly, small business outsourcing<\/a> solution that will leave you with\u00a0so much time, you won’t have to wait for Arbor Day to plant a forest.<\/p>\n

Here are 6 ways\u00a0Specialty Answering Service is helping save the planet:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The days of paper calendars are long gone. So, go ahead – recycle your day planner and your desk pad. In most cases, your call center can set\u00a0appointments<\/a> directly on your online calendar<\/a> and message you when new appointments are\u00a0booked.<\/li>\n
  2. Cubicles, desks and computers, oh my.\u00a0With customer service housed outside of your office, you\u2019ll save on office supplies, desks, chairs, phones and computers, not to mention employees\u2019 salaries, benefits, paid time off, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. Downsizing gets a bad rap, but just think of the resources you’ll reclaim. Call centers answer for bunch of\u00a0industries<\/a>\u00a0and businesses across the world, which often translates into less staff to employ. That enables those businesses to reduce their carbon footprint by decreasing the use of paper products, plastics, Styrofoam, water consumption, energy, and more.<\/li>\n
  4. Who needs paper and pencils, anyway? Handwriting is overrated. Paper and writing utensils aren\u2019t permitted on the call center floor. All of the information the operators collect is documented electronically<\/a>\u00a0and available on-the-go<\/a>.\u00a0No paper messages or wooden pencils mean more trees get to stay firmly planted in the earth. Woohoo!<\/li>\n
  5. Forget the backhoe. Depending on the type of small business<\/a> you run, you may not even need to dig up a brick-and-mortar office, as many\u00a0customer service<\/a>\u00a0issues can be addressed remotely. Bricks and mortar are made of clay\u00a0(and other stuff), and clay (and other stuff) comes from the earth. No physical office = happier dirt.<\/li>\n
  6. Outsourcing<\/a> calls gives you more hours in the day\u00a0to focus on your existing customers as well as\u00a0establish relationships with prospective customers. This sense of freedom will offer you peace of mind while creating a meditative state. In meditation, you’ll be sending out good vibes. And good vibes heal the earth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you want your business to go green, get an answering service! Heck, we’ll even give you a list of ways to reuse your old desk phone<\/a>. When you’re ready for a more balanced approach to customer service, sign up for a free trial<\/a>\u00a0with feature-rich<\/a> SAS,\u00a0and find out what the right call center can do for you. Your valued customers will appreciate being able to connect with you 24\/7\/365<\/a>, and you\u2019ll reduce overhead while making an environmentally-friendly, financially-sound choice for your small business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
