NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY:

Your Virtual Receptionist takes important appointment schedules for your business

Are you prepared for the busy times of the year such as the holiday seasons? Do you find that you just generally feel overwhelmed with enquiries?

Having a Virtual Receptionist on the team to take care of appointment scheduling, can be an absolute game-changer!

Having a well-established appointment scheduling process for your business can be crucial for your success. Knowing exactly when, where, and what time your customers are expected to come and go, will allow you to manage your own time and workspace more efficiently.

Time is indeed a valuable asset for both your clients and your business; hence, appointment scheduling is one of the most critical areas that need attention to detail and proper communication.

How can a Virtual Receptionist help you manage your appointment schedules?

Business owners and managers focusing on growth and development are likelier to succeed than those who micromanage.

When tasks such as appointment scheduling can be assigned to a highly-qualified, experienced professional, it becomes more beneficial for businesses to employ a Virtual Receptionist rather than put in the time and effort on administrative tasks.

You are assured that all your calls are answered, your inquiries are addressed, and you never miss a business opportunity. Proper scheduling with clients is communicated in an orderly and timely fashion that is customised to your needs and requests.

A Virtual Receptionist can be available to schedule appointments and meetings at any time that your business requires, hence, you never miss any calls or communication from clients to your business.

How does appointment scheduling work with a Virtual Receptionist?

Different businesses have a variety of standard procedures when it comes to scheduling. Our Virtual Receptionist services can always be customised based on your business needs.

Here is a common appointment scheduling process:

1. Your customer calls to book an appointment.
   
   
2. Our team of Virtual Receptionists answer the call in your business name. Your client is none the wiser that we are a third-party provider. In fact, they will have the impression that we are sitting at the front reception desk in your office.
   
   
3. We can take the customer’s appointment details and either:
   
   
   • Place the appointment directly into your appointment booking software such as ServiceM8, Cliniko, PowerDiary, Google Calendar, Aroflo or any other software you have in place.
   • Text the details to you.
   • Email the details to you.
     
     
4. Once the call is complete our Virtual Receptionists will record how long the call took. You are only charged for the time that we are actively working for you.
   
   
5. When required, our Virtual Receptionist team can call your clients back to offer further information, or to reschedule appointments. This is especially convenient when one of your team members is unwell or has had an unexpected situation arise.

What’s the difference between having automated scheduling software and a Virtual Receptionist to manage appointments?

First off, having a more “personalised touch” gives a professional impression to your potential customers and existing clients. They can feel more at ease when they speak with a Virtual Receptionist, rather than an automated system, answering machine or voice message.

Also, an automated scheduling system software is not as accurate with wait times as a Virtual Receptionist would be. It is unable to quickly factor in required gaps between appointments for travel or transitioning between clients. It also can’t manage late or cancelled appointments in real-time, thus, it may create confusion on your part and long wait periods for your clients.

Double-booking and follow-up calls can also be tricky when dealing with automated scheduling system software. On these occasions, a Virtual Receptionist would be more reliable in assuring that all your schedules are in place and are 100% accurate.

Other aspects such as follow-up calls and maintenance work make all the difference between dealing with a Virtual Receptionist as opposed to having automated scheduling software in place.
