How can outsourcing your calls help you grow?

Many Entrepreneurs find it hard to find enough hours in the day to meet clients, answering calls and to juggle all the other things necessary to grow their business.

We asked Rachael Gray and her Team members Emla and Marie at Call Pal what the benefits are in using their professional Virtual Reception Services and what they can offer to Startups.

Here at Call Pal we can appreciate the business world is a scary place for entrepreneurs starting off their business. Bravado is a great trait in any entrepreneur but a smart business person will take controlled risks where they can. You may envision your business successful on a global level with hundreds of staff helping it to grow – and we hope you get there! But every business starts somewhere and that somewhere is usually on the ground. You’re only one person and you need help – but full time help doesn’t need to cost upwards of €26,000 a year.

Starting a new business is no easy task and it is extremely important to put your best foot forward when dealing with the ever changing needs of your customers and clients. Virtual reception services maintain the highest level of professionalism that will enhance your business services. As most small businesses do not have the money to match the in-house support services that large-scale organizations have, outsourcing your call answering can provide you with access to tools and support that large-scale organizations have –  with much more affordable options to suit even the smallest of budgets.

“Studies show that 62% of callers do not phone back if there is no dial tone – and 79% will not phone back if the calls go unanswered!”

Advantages of outsourcing reception service

Outsourcing your calls to a service such as Call Pal will prevent your business suffering to such statistics. Your calls will be managed exactly the way you require with Call Pal. All of your calls will be:

  • screened
  • handled efficiently
  • booked in as appointments if applicable
  • directed as per your instructions
  • emailed to you with clear and concise messages
  • greeting with your own personalised answering message

No unexpected hidden costs

Virtual receptionists end up being quite a lot cheaper than an in-house receptionist. The rough cost of an in-house receptionist can be anywhere between €26,000- €30,000 per annum not including benefits such as paid holidays. Our monthly packages are a fraction of these costs and can be upgraded and downgraded at any time to suit your business call demands. Compared to the extra costs that occur when hiring an inhouse receptionist our costs are all inclusive, this rids you of the extra costs such as vacations or breaks – our diligent virtual receptionists services cover the entire day, breaks and all!

The average in-house receptionist will spend approximately 70% of their day monitoring the phones and relaying messages, the other 30% of the time they spend on various duties that may leave them unable to answer incoming calls.
We have found the cost saving benefits of utilizing call answering services will save you approximately 67% compared to the costs of an in-house receptionist. Not only do you experience cost saving benefits via professional call answering services but you can also be rest assured your calls will not go unanswered!
