A call attendant is the telephone answering service employee that answers your calls when your business phones are forwarded to the call center. Though the call attendant can perform many tasks, the most important service they provide is allowing your business to operate 24 hours a day.

Are you looking for someone to take messages,A Call Attendant Helps Your Business Articles screen calls, and be a phone representative for your company? It sounds like you need a secretary right? But, what if you need 10 or even 100 people to answer your calls and act as your receptionist? Then what you're looking for is a call attendant. A call attendant will do all of these jobs for a fraction of the salary of a secretary, and much more. A call attendant will take messages during and after business hours, forward specific and urgent questions to an employee, and will be a generally pleasant representative of your company.

When you hire a call center or answering service for your business, you are hiring a team of call attendants. These call attendants are specifically trained to represent your company in the best possible way, while doing it at a much more affordable rate then hiring your own in house operators. Whether your company is a greeting card delivery service or a plumbing contractor, a call attendant can scan your calls, take messages to be retrieved by you at an appropriate time, and give general information about the services provided by your business.

Call attendants hired by call centers must meet the standards of each call center. In general, the attendants are articulate, informative, and pleasant in their approach of fielding calls specifically aimed towards your business. They, as a team, will handle large volumes of calls on whatever time-frame you set, and will continue to strive even as the doors to your business are closed. When you don't have call attendants at your side, every call after your business closes is probably a lost call. People prefer to speak to another person, rather than making an order or leaving a message through an automated voice or an answering machine.

With call-attendants, your company will always be represented by articulate, educated people, at a fraction of the price or a secretary. Whether you need someone (or a group of people) to scan and field large volumes of calls, or are just tired of having to deal with each and every inquiry or complaint, a call attendant can be the answer you are looking for.
