Delight your Customers
Here's an example of how our phone messaging service works
Customers’ needs don’t always fit conveniently within office hours. Of course they still matter to you, but if they don’t know that, they’ll go elsewhere. The feeling of being valued doesn’t come from a machine, no matter how many times a recorded message says so. But a human voice on the end of the line shows them that their call really is important. They can feel confident that a message, carefully taken down by our agents, won’t disappear like an easily deleted voicemail. And that, although it may not happen right this minute, a solution isn’t far away. Your customer will rest easy, knowing they’ve been heard.
Here's why our phone receptionist service is good for your customer, as well as for you
A customer who dials your number is hoping for good service and a solution to their problem. When it comes to answering phones, our agents are professionals. We’ll take care of providing an excellent initial experience, so you’ll get the opportunity to show them they were right to call you – you’re the best at what you do. We’ll find out exactly what they want, answer frequently asked questions, provide and gather information, and make sure their call, or their message, connects to the right person in your company. You couldn’t hope for a better start to a long and happy business relationship.
Here's how our phone agents can improve the level of service for your customer
You and your customer want to focus on the important stuff. Making appointments, bookings, payments, leaving messages, finding the right person to speak to – those things make the wheels turn. But they’re also the things that are often frustrating for customers. That’s why you should let our phone agents handle it. They’ll ask all the right questions and answer them too. They can make appointments straight into your booking system, take payments, and enter customer information directly into your CRM. Our phone agents do their job extremely well, providing the best possible customer experience at every level, and making it easy for your customer to do business with you.
Tales of success
Room for improvement
BSJ Suppliers wanted to improve their customers’ experience. After acting on inside feedback provided by their Fonebox Phone Receptionist Service, who deal with their customers every day, they’re seeing record high rates of customer satisfaction.
Respond creatively
An unexpectedly huge response to Dream Beds’ ad campaign was the best problem they’d ever had. Fonebox set up an outbound system to ensure everyone who registered interest got a call back by the dedicated Fonebox Phone Receptionist team, and not a single lead was lost.
Building relationships
Mary’s franchisees wanted to know how their telecommunications set-up was affecting their market position. Fonebox attended the annual national conference, explaining clearly how it all worked, and giving dealers confidence that the system was working for everyone.
Smarter Decisions
Call transfer
Your business is growing, and your customers need to be connected to the right staff member. You don’t have the set-up to make that happen, so our Phone Receptionists now connect your customers to staff or departments for you.
On the road
Your business requires staff to be on the road or away from their desks, which is why our Phone Receptionists take your calls, provide key information to your customers and attempt to solve their queries, enabling you to continue growing your business.
Managing outlets
Your business has stores all over the country, but no way of transferring customers to their closest store. Our Phone Receptionist service will handle the initial call, and direct business to the right store, all while capturing their key information to use in your next marketing campaigns.
FAQs
You tell us! Our Phone Receptionist service is entirely bespoke. If you need us to answer questions specific about your product, you got it. If you need us to help troubleshoot a problem over the phone, we can. If you provide our team with the right information, we’ll answer your customers questions, no problem.
It’s your service, your decision. Our Phone Receptionist team can transfer calls to an unlimited pool of contacts, no matter the requirements. Our team can identify who is calling, what they’re calling about, and direct or escalate where needed. Do all product enquiries go to Jane’s mobile from the Sydney Warehouse? Transferred! Do all account queries go to Mike and Sarah’s landlines in the Brisbane office? Transferred!
Not only does our team collect and deliver the information that matters most to you, directly to you or your team via email and/or SMS, but all caller information is stored and reportable via Orbit, Fonebox’s proprietary reporting platform. Included in the reporting is the Call Centre ‘Wrap Ups’, which is a summary of your calls for reference. Want to know how many calls were Sales related, check the Wrap Ups – powerful information at the push of a button.
Answer – Entirely. At Fonebox, we tailor your telecommunications. Your Phone Receptionist service can operate in a variety of ways: our team can follow different processes depending on the time or day they receive a call, or if you require additional handling for a recent campaign, our Phone Receptionist team will abide. It’s your service, however you need it.
One size definitely does not fit all. We understand that your inbound calls may need to be handled differently. There’s a lot that goes into Phone Answering, which is why we’ll work with you to identify what’s required for each of your inbound lines. Your Phone Receptionist service can operate independently, with our team of agents following different processes for each one of your calls. The sky’s the limit!
