Have you ever called a business and been greeted so warmly that it just made the rest of the day better? That’s the power of a professional answering service. That’s the power of a person.
Outsourcing your calls to a professional ensures that every interaction reflects your business’s values and commitment to customer service.
How Should an Answering Service Answer the Phones?
At Focus, we believe each call is an opportunity to reinforce your brand’s professionalism and attentiveness, and we strive to capitalize on every single one.
- Prompt and Friendly Greetings: We answer every call promptly, usually within the first couple of rings, and always with a friendly, professional greeting. You can practically hear the smile! This approach sets a positive tone and shows respect for the caller’s time, which is crucial for first impressions.
- Personalized Interaction: We train our agents to personalize each interaction by using the caller’s name and making certain they understand the context of the caller’s needs. A personalized approach not only makes the caller feel valued but also enhances the effectiveness of any communication.
- Clarity and Conciseness: Agents speak clearly and maintain a courteous tone throughout every call. “Concise yet thorough” is the goal when providing information or assistance, ensuring that your clients receive accurate and swift responses.
- Efficient Call Handling: Whether it’s directing calls to the right department or managing a callback, we handle every step with the utmost professionalism, ensuring transitions are smooth and respectful.
- Active Listening and Problem Solving: We engage in active listening to fully understand each caller’s issue or request. This enables us to provide effective solutions or to escalate the call to the appropriate expert within your team. We always aim to resolve queries quickly and efficiently, providing that coveted first-call resolution.
- Continuous Training and Quality Assurance: To maintain the highest standards, our agents undergo regular training on the latest best practices in call handling and customer service. They know better than anyone how an answering service should answer the phone.
