Managing incoming and outgoing telephone calls is known as call handling. When you hire a team of professional remote receptionists to manage calls made to and from your business, it is called a call handling service, which we offer at Best Reception.
Our call handling service includes three tiers of management:
1 – Our Phone Answering service, which includes message taking and call transferring
2 – Our Virtual Receptionist service, which is ideal for businesses that require diary management and appointment booking in addition to our answering service.
3 – Our Virtual Call Centre service, which is suitable for larger companies that need a remote switchboard.
We believe that every business in any sector can benefit from a professional call answering service. Whether you are a tradesperson who is busy working on-site all day or a large operation receiving hundreds of sales calls per day, we can create a customised solution for you.
At Best Reception, we take the time to understand your business by gathering all the necessary information from you. Our team of Best Receptionists are then fully trained on your company and its unique requirements before they answer any calls on your behalf. This ensures that they have a good understanding of your business and can provide a professional and personalised service to your callers.
When Best Reception was founded in 2006, our goal was to provide a cost-effective solution that could benefit businesses of all sizes. We offer pricing plans starting as low as £60 per month. Although we have standard support packages available, we believe in customising our solutions to meet the unique demands of each client.
At Best Reception, we believe that any type of business can benefit from a professional customer and call answering service.
Whether you are a tradesperson who spends most of the day on-site, or a large corporation receiving a high volume of sales calls, we can design a tailored solution for your specific needs.
Our call handling services include call diversion, message taking, order processing, and appointment booking. We work closely with each of our clients to ensure that our service delivers maximum benefits to their business.
Absolutely! Our team of Best Receptionists are all based in Ware, Hertfordshire and are fully trained to answer calls for our clients. We never outsource our call handling to third-party providers or overseas call centres.
The Phone Answering Service involves our team handling incoming calls and transferring them to you, taking messages or providing information to your customers.
For businesses that require more support, our Virtual Receptionist service is ideal. This is particularly popular with dentists, tradespeople and beauty salons. Our team will answer your calls, take bookings, answer queries and send you a message with all the necessary details.
For larger businesses that need to handle high volumes of incoming calls, our Call Centre Switchboard Service is perfect. Calls can be diverted to individuals or departments via their landlines or mobiles.
Regardless of which service you choose, you can keep your existing business phone number and divert it to our office, or we can host your main number for no extra cost.
A virtual number is a telephone number that is not directly associated with a physical telephone line or device. Instead, virtual numbers route calls to one or more physical phone numbers, allowing businesses and individuals to receive calls without being tied to a specific location or device.
Virtual numbers are often used for business and marketing purposes, and they can be set up to forward calls to landlines, mobile phones, or even VoIP services. They also offer flexibility, as the same virtual number can be used across multiple devices, making it easier for people to reach you no matter where you are.
You can select a virtual UK phone number with a local area code or have a national number.
Included in all our call handling services is a virtual landline number at no additional cost for our customers (Note, there is a one-time set-up fee). However, if you require a standalone virtual phone number service, there is a cost, but we believe it’s still a cost-effective option.
Reach out to us today to determine the most suitable and cost-effective plan that meets the needs of your business.
Sure thing! We highly encourage prospective clients to take advantage of our 2-week free trial, with no obligation to continue with our service afterwards.
