If your company call volume doesn’t justify the hiring of an on-site assistant but it’s clear that a professional phone presence is key to the continued growth of the company, then your company would most likely be very happy in choosing a virtual receptionist. Odds are, if you’re a small, growing business, consultancy, or firm, you may be exactly who would benefit from having a virtual receptionist on staff.
If you wondered, there’s much more to the job than simply answering your phone calls. Answering company phone lines is a vital part of doing business, but when the calls aren’t coming in, the virtual receptionist can do a number of other business tasks for your company. A virtual receptionist is capable of handling customer service inquiries or taking orders, making sales calls, screen and/or announce your calls, just to name a few.
And that’s not all. With a virtual receptionist, you can see your incoming call history online and in real-time, as well as easy online management of emails and faxes. Best of all, virtual receptionist service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Weather, illnesses, or personal issues won’t keep a virtual receptionist from answering your calls.
Virtual Receptionist Tip: Our clients find that our very large calling capacity lets every caller or fax get through – no busy signals for your callers.

Your customers love you, they love you not, they love you, they love you not. Successful customer service is a crucial goal for many businesses, of all sizes and industries. Many times, a businesses’ only contact with a customer is via the telephone. That highlights how critical a positive customer experience on the telephone can be for such a company, perhaps even yours. For such companies, the customer’s experience begins with the very first moment a company representative picks up the phone. All too often, these days, customers reach automated receptionists, but a growing trend of virtual receptionists should soon please customers all over the world.
Having a human on the other end of the line when customers call is a huge factor in making a customer happy. Having a pleasant, competent, and friendly human on the other end of the line is even better. A virtual receptionist can handle this all for companies today.
In those cases where companies or firms have moved out of traditional office space in favor of an all telecommuting workforce, a virtual receptionist often serves as the central hub for all incoming calls and is able to route calls to satellite and home offices seamlessly – so smoothly that the customers never ever realize they’re not dealing with a company that’s not based in a single office suite.
Virtual Receptionist Tip: Many times, virtual receptionist services are offered with extended hours — 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. – crossing time zones and able to handle it all smoothly and professionally.

One thing that many business experts agree on is that each time someone interacts with your business it leaves an impression–whether large or smalll, that can have a significant impact on business. Your prices might be lower or your product top notch, but if you appear disorganized or unprofessional it can hurt your business. A virtual receptionist maintains and presents a consistent professional image for you.
Let’s take a moment to take a closer look at the benefits of a virtual receptionist. Instead of getting an answering machine, voicemail, or a harried business owner, your client will speak with a live person. You can also establish a presence in multiple markets and have a local telephone number for each. There really are countless benefits for businesses having a virtual receptionist. The little details of a well-run office image through a virtual receptionist add up to offer a customer experience that can leave a good impression on your customers, partners, and clients. A virtual receptionist can make a good impression for your business at a fraction of the cost of employing a “live” receptionist to sit in your office to answer phone calls. The professional image and consistency is one reason Davinci Virtual is growing with everyone from small businesses to large businesses.
Virtual Receptionist Tip: What’s one thing that many lawyers, doctor’s offices, and even online businesses have in common? They all use our virtual receptionist services. Could this be right for your business, as well?

There’s an old joke about a man walking up to a 24-hour convenience store as it’s being closed, asking “isn’t this store open 24 hours a day?” and the proprietor answering, “not in a row!” Similarly, many small businesses find that not being available to their customers at very nearly any hour of the day or night is actually doing damage to their business. But with a virtual receptionist, this simply doesn’t happen. A virtual receptionist is there to answer your customer’s calls during business hours – from breakfast meetings to business lunches right on through to a business dinner.
Aside from never taking a long lunch or calling in sick for three days straight, a virtual receptionist also benefits your business’ budget. How could that be? Most of the time, the cost of a virtual receptionist is a portion of the cost of hiring, training, and keeping a receptionist in benefits. You’re also not paying for a receptionist’s office space or business equipment. These are all business expenditures that you might think are required, but the new reality is that, through the use of a virtual receptionist, these expenditures are far from necessary.
Virtual Receptionist Tip: You can rest easy knowing that, no matter the time of the business day, the virtual receptionist is there to answer calls and properly direct them.
