Employees want to feel safe and remain anonymous when reporting possible ethics violations while on the job. Voice Link’s live answering service can provide 3rd party whistleblower hotlines for organizations to independently collect complaints such as OSHA violations, fraud, waste, abuse, and other alleged illegal activity.

Preliminary job application screening

Taking incoming calls from prospecting employees can be time-consuming for small businesses. Voice Link’s virtual receptionist services can free up your time by disqualifying candidates who don’t meet the basic job requirements by asking preliminary questions like confirming age, licensure requirements, background checks, etc., and sending the qualified candidates to you.

Basic patient Intake. 

Most patients would prefer not to have to come to a doctor’s appointment early or go online to fill out paperwork ahead of their visit. Voice Link’s HIPAA trained live call answering agents can improve your customers’ experience and take some of the administrative burdens off your staff by taking basic patient pre-registration information from your patients in advance of their appointments.

Pre-appointment questions

If you are a service provider, you juggle many tasks throughout the day, including taking incoming calls and setting appointments. Voice Link can help you with inquiries and pre-appointment assessments. Our trained, professional virtual receptionists will follow up with service requests to confirm the nature of the problem, the client’s address, email address, best times for a service visit, etc., and get the information to you ahead of your service call.

Surveys

Customer surveys are a great tool for measuring how well buyers perceive your company’s customer service performance or an individual’s performance within your company and can provide a roadmap for improvements. Because they can be time-consuming, and you may lack the people resources to carry them out, Voice Link can partner with you to help manage the surveys with our customer service answering service.
