Professional Phone Answering Services

Have you checked your voice mail only to hear a "click," or no message? Another missed opportunity? A missed telephone call equals a missed opportunity.

Not when you have A Second Office, LLC as a member of your team. We'll answer your phones, make appointments and take your sales orders.

We provide off-site receptionist services to companies of all types and sizes throughout the United States.

As a member of your team, we get to know your and your business. When you are unable to be reached or take a call, we do everything you would expect from a professional receptionist.

One possible problem with the sales process is the lack of a live person professionally answering your phone. Businesses miss a sales opportunity when they are away from the office because their calls go to voice mail. With A Second Office as your partner in business, you no longer have to play phone tag or worry about returning calls to schedule an appointment or take a sales order.

What can A Second Office do for you?

  • A Second Office provides all of the benefits of hiring an on-site, full-time receptionist at the fraction of the cost.
  • Increase your sales and business opportunities by making your appointments and taking your sales orders when you are not available.

How does it work?

  • You will be assigned a dedicated phone number (Colorado local or 800 number) that will be professionally answered.
  • When a call comes in, a screen pops up on our computer providing us with your personalized greeting and company information.
    • The call is answered according to your personalized greeting.
    • The call is screened and placed on hold.
    • The client is contacted and given the opportunity to either take the call or sent to voice mail.
      • If the call is accepted by the client, the call is transferred immediately.
      • If the call is denied by the client, the call is either sent to voice mail or a manual message is taken and emailed to the client.
        NOTE: There are other options available with regard to handling the call per the client’s directions.
      • A Second Office will service the call as a member of your staff, answering questions, scheduling appointments and taking orders.

How does A Second Office know when I am available?

  • We ask that each of our clients call or email us consistently with your availability; just as you would “call into the office” to let the receptionist know your whereabouts.
  • In addition to using the online calendar to make your client appointments, you can block our time or communicate your availability.

Pricing

A Second Office believes that a business should be charged by the call and not by how long you speak with the caller. Therefore, our pricing is based on “per callrdquo; and not per minute.

We want the caller to feel satisfied that we took the necessary time to fulfill their needs. We will never rush through a call because we're watching the minutes.
