Services You Might Not Expect from an Answering Service

When you consider an answering service, you might expect things such as someone to answer your phone when you’re busy, away or on vacation. You might expect 24/7 coverage from trustworthy, well-trained and reliable call handlers. (If not, you should be!) What you might not expect, however, are other services that A Better Answer provides that go above and beyond the typical answering service.

May 2015 Call Handling Hero®

As an answering service and call center, our calls are always unpredictable. Thus, our call handling heroes® must be prepared for anything. During the month of May, we salute not just one, but three Call Handling Heroes!®

Kerri – May’s Call Handling Hero®

When trying to switch out a call, Kerri heard the caller say, “I’m holding onto my wife so she doesn’t jump out the window.”

Is Your Staff Too Busy to Answer Calls?

Earlier this year, a UK based answering service conducted a research study on consumer perceptions of business call handling. According to the research, 55% of respondents stated that they would take their business away from companies that relied on call automation instead of a real person. Even more said that they would choose another business rather than speak through an automated call handler.

April 2015 Call Handling Hero®

Every month here at A Better Answer, we celebrate one of our own by singling out a Call Handling Hero®. We’ve shared particular calls where our call handler went above and beyond what was expected. We’ve raised a glass to those who did their share to help out a caller in need. We’ve listened to empathetic and understanding operators gently handle a caller in crisis.
