Using an After Hours Answering Service to Drive New Revenue

Posted February 21, 2012 in after hours answering service, small business by TechArk Support

Are you the owner or manager of a small to mid-sized service oriented business? Do you ‘wear a lot of hats’ during the course of your work week? In addition to becoming an expert in your chosen field, many people in your position have had to become experts in time management. One of the tools the more successful ones have learned to leverage is a live after hours answering service.

Overcome Dependencies on Outdated Tools

An after hours answering service helps many small and mid-size businesses overcome their over-dependence on voice-mail as a primary communication tool. Yes, during normal business hours they may have a receptionist or office managers that handle inbound calls and messages, but during lunch and after normal business hours voice-mail is the only option.

The ‘I Want It Now’ Effect

In today’s instant gratification society, prospective clients are not patient creatures. A large and growing percentage of buyers now expect to be able to engage you at the point of contact. In other words, when they call a business and get voice-mail, they are much more likely to call the next provider they can find, often times without leaving a message for the first provider. No matter what kind of business you are in, this translates into lost revenue opportunities.

A Better Way

A live after hours answering service remedies this situation by providing knowledgeable, friendly and professional representatives to take those calls for you – greatly increasing your ability to generate revenue from those inbound calls. From a time management perspective, it is an excellent tool because it enables you to provide 24/7 availability, increase client satisfaction and drive new revenue; all without increasing the amount of time you need to spend to make it happen. Now that’s good time management!
