Let’s set the scene: it’s a windy, rainy afternoon, a storm for the books and suddenly, with nothing more than a flicker and a zap, your power goes out.
Pitch black, no telephones, no internet. What do you do?
For a typical household, this marks an inconvenience and bustling about to grab the candles and flashlights. But for a business this is much more than an inconvenience – this is a lack of calls, clients, and therefore, profits.
How long will the power be out? How long until your clients can reach you? How long until you can get work done again?
The answers to these questions vary depending on the severity of the storm, but then what can you do as a business?
How can you beat Mother Nature and ensure that your business will still be available even during inclement weather?
With live reception services, of course.
Turn to Always Answer for all your live receptionist needs and never miss a call again because of a downed power line or a record-breaking storm.
Why You Need Live Receptionist Services During Inclement Weather
Did you know there have been multiple 100-year storms in the last calendar year in the US?
Did you know that this trend is expected to continue?
That means that your business is more at risk of losing customers now than ever simply because of extreme weather patterns.
With live receptionist services from Always Answer, you can be sure that our friendly and knowledgeable staff will answer your clients’ calls even when your power is out, your phones are down, and the winds are a-blowing.
Even Without Loss of Power, Live Receptionist Services Can Help
What if your lights and your power both stay on?
Do you still need live receptionist services during inclement weather?
Absolutely!
If storms are starting and your business deals with safety, repairs or even deliveries, then your calls probably increase during inclement weather. And if those calls outnumber your available staff your clients could be out of luck or kept waiting.
To avoid this loss of business, consider live answering services during your heaviest call hours, days, or other routine peaks. Always Answer can work with you to find the perfect plan, so you only pay for the hours and calls we answer.
