Answer Phones: Answering Calls in your Absence

By: Dennis Jaylon

Answer phones have become an absolute necessity in the professional world. In this era (where 'customer is the king') you cannot afford to miss even a single telephone call. But, it is not practically possible to stay next to your phone all 24 hours of the day. Answer phones are the perfect instruments that can help businesses in attending to all client and customer calls promptly, even when they are not next to the instrument.

Customised messages can be recorded on the answer phones. When a customer calls, and there is nobody to receive the call, the phone instrument automatically switches to the answering machine mode after a few rings. The caller is asked to leave a message or his name and number with the assurance that the unavailable person will call back.

Messages on the answer phones must be polite and welcoming in tone. The caller should feel welcome even after listening to the automated voice. If it is in a business scenario, the messages must be very formal and to the point. In informal settings, you can be as creative as possible with answer phone messages.

Answer phones are the ideal instrument to maintain a semblance of professionalism in the workplace. In a world that is dominated by people who are in the client servicing industry, answer phones sometimes even take up the role of a receptionist. Your client calls are taken care of in a professional and reliable manner.

They are extremely cost-effective and come with various features these days to provide complete satisfaction and utility to the user. Most telephones used for official purposes come installed with the answer phones facility these days. Just a small step of using answer phones can do wonders for your business, by increasing its efficiency, providing customer satisfaction and in turn even increasing the overall revenue.
