GETTING STARTED

Getting started is simple

Using a virtual receptionist takes just minutes to set up. 

1
Step 1 - Quick Discovery

We learn about your callers, hours, ambitions and goals, and recommend the right service (Message Only, Reception Assist, or Help Desk).

Step 2 - Tailored Setup

We craft your greeting and scripts, set escalation paths and after-hours rules, and confirm reporting and security preferences.

Step 3 - Pilot & Go live

We run a short pilot, fine-tune from your feedback, then switch on - 24/7 if needed.
4
Step 4 - Measure & Improve

You’ll see clear monthly reporting on what matters most (first-call resolution, time-to-answer, customer satisfaction, triage accuracy). We iterate with you.

Testimonials

 When our Auckland Duty didn’t know what to do with a Northland callout, your operator showed initiative and thank you so much for this. Good work and thank you for using your initiative and looking that up. If it were not passed at all, we would have been stuck.

 Waikato Pump Services have been with Answer Services since 17 July 2017. Adam (owner) is pretty chuffed with the service. This works better than any system they have ever had. There is no dropping the ball at their end anymore and that’s really important leading into Spring.
