24/7 virtual assistants follow carefully scripted call procedures, tailored to your business needs and agreed in advance. Created using advanced software, these scripts are designed to obtain the information that is most valuable to your company.

For many companies, it is imperative to have a front-line customer service assistant who can offer professional responses to customer queries. In an ideal scenario, new sales enquiries, existing customers, and accounts enquiries, would each be handled by a dedicated individual. This ensures that important customer phone calls are treated with the care and attention that they require, whilst gathering the full information that your company needs.

A virtual assistant makes use of fully-customised call scripts so they can handle calls on your behalf. By tailoring the call answering process to your precise business requirements, our virtual assistants can answer calls and forward more complex enquiries to the right person in your business.

We will either allocate you a number to advertise, or a number to seamlessly divert your calls through to.

When your call reaches our office your personalised script will flash up on our telephonist’s screen, enabling them to answer the phone in your company name and capture the information you require as your very own Virtual PA.

We can provide you with a telephone number to use as your own. You can decide which type of number will be best for you, as we have a huge selection from freephone 0800 numbers, to specific area codes.

Each time the number is called our professional telephonists acting as your very own Virtual PA will be ready to answer your calls.

You have the option at any point to take ownership of the number should you wish to, meaning you can choose to divert the calls to your own office or mobile.

If you require a number before the service goes live we are more than happy to accommodate this.

Simply sign up to one of our telephone answering services and we will supply you with your number within minutes, you can then use this number on your website and business cards and flyers prior to setting the telephone answering service live.

Once you are ready for the service to start all you need to do is give us 24 working hours notice and we will get the account up and running for you..

With both mobiles and landlines, diverting calls is simple and instant. You simply type a number into your keypad.  As each landline and mobile company has a unique set of instructions you will need to speak to your individual provider for guidance.

If you then need any further assistance in diverting your calls, your Account Manager will be able to talk you through it.

We recommend diverting all calls when you’re on holiday, in a meeting or have finished work for the day. You can also set your phones to divert calls after a certain number of rings and/or when your line is busy, ensuring you never, ever miss a call.

If you advertise more than one number, simply divert all of your numbers to your unique Answer4u number. There is no limit to the amount of calls we can take simultaneously for you.

Our telephonists normally deliver messages by text and email which are sent as soon as the call terminates. As part of the Flexi Virtual Assistant Service we can also forward calls through to you, tell you who’s on the line, and then you can choose whether to take the call or whether you would like us to take a message. We provide a professional Virtual Service at a fraction of the cost of employing your own staff.

From seasonal uplifts to shifting markets, there are a number of reasons for missed phone calls. It is much more practical and reliable to outsource to a company that specialises in bespoke Virtual Assistant Services to safeguard incoming calls.

24/7 virtual assistants can transform your business by streamlining your customer interaction in a highly professional, skilled manner. They can lighten the load and prevent important calls from being missed.
