Why Every Business Needs To Hire A Virtual Receptionist
There are so many benefits of hiring a virtual receptionist to manage your office phones or call center. Here are five benefits of hiring a virtual receptionist we think you’ll love.
- Hiring a virtual receptionist is a cost-effective way to manage your phones.
When you hire a virtual receptionist, it saves your company from having to hire an extra staff member, like an office receptionist, customer service representative, or administrative assistant.
According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, the median annual wage for office and administrative support is $34,740. That’s a savings of $2,895 a month. And, don’t forget about the cost of benefits and office equipment for that person. Hiring a virtual receptionist can save your business thousands of dollars a year.
- A virtual receptionist service can also handle other administrative tasks.
In addition to covering your office’s phones, Voice Link’s virtual receptionists can help your company out with many tasks. Some of the many tasks our staff can handle include:
