3 Reasons to Hire a Virtual Receptionist vs. an In-House Receptionist

Written by Moises Hasbun | Nov 18, 2022 9:26:00 PM

Did you know that virtual receptionists perform all the same tasks as an in-house receptionist but at a fraction of the price?

You can have the same service, save money, and ensure you provide top-notch customer service around-the-clock without the risk of having full-time employees in your office.

Not convinced a virtual receptionist is right for you? Here are three reasons to reconsider.

 

Optimize Payroll Costs

If you choose, you can hire a virtual receptionist around-the-clock. This not only costs much else than it would to have employees on the clock 24/7 but ensures you never miss a call.

Typical business owners have specific business hours, and then they close. When customers call, they get voicemail. Some will leave a message, but most will not. This increases the risk of losing customers because no one is there to answer the phone.

With a virtual receptionist service, you can access 24/7 receptionists, ensuring your customers get the answers they need day or night.

 

Virtual Receptionists are a Scaled Resource

When you hire an employee onto your staff, you must provide them with a specific number of hours to make it worth their time. This means you could be paying more than you can afford or want to spend just to have someone there a couple of hours a week answering phones.

A virtual receptionist service is a shared resource, so there are very low minimum requirements. For example, at Easybee, you must commit to a minimum of 50 minutes a month but can have as many hours as your business needs.

With this scalable resource, you don’t have to worry about overspending or paying for a service you don’t need. Instead, you decide how often you need someone answering your phones, and that’s what you pay for.
