Linda Cartella - Business Manager, Brisco Roofing
You have been excellent to deal with - competent, efficient and professional.The 24 hour service you provide is cost efficient, and has enabled us to have high quality 'real person' engagement with our customers, ensuring we convey a high level of professionalism to the market. In the real estate business, the first point of contact with potential new customers is always critical.
Peter J Cahill - Managing Director, Domain Hill Property Group
Our Smart Group uses your reception and premium office services in most Australian states. We find it a very effective way to ensure that calls and correspondence for Smart Group companies are handled consistently on a nation-wide basis. Changes within the group, as companies are added or new operating locations established are easily dealt with and online access to receptionist scripts enables immediate changes to be made toreflect new activities.
James Kelaher - Director, Smartnet
The Virtual Receptionist Live Answering Service is an invaluable asset to my business. Running a small business means you have to wear lot of hats. Your service has allowed me to take back control of my incoming calls. I found myself losing up to two hours a day with phone call interruptions. Now I can quickly scan my email messages and choose how and when I respond. My clients are always impressed with the service and often comment on how professionally their calls are answered.
Tim Donovan - Director / Support, Real Advantage Solutions
You continue to be a great addition and support to our business. The ability to have the phone answered professionally whilst giving our staff the freedom to be away from the office on other income generating ventures is fantastic. I do not know of a better system. Keep doing what you are doing!
Ross McCorkell - Director, FHG Healthcare and Commercial Furniture
I am extremely happy with the service as I do not have a full time receptionist. So the beauty of your Live Answering Service, given I travel a lot is that it is not location specific so I can receive my calls and messages where ever I am.
David Patmore - Director, Vision Training International
