FAQs
During the quick set-up process, we’ll ask you for some information about your business that will enable us to provide your customers with a responsive and professional service. We want to ensure we uphold the high standards of friendliness and knowledge your customers have come to expect so we’ll use the information you provide us with to do this.
As well as regular team training, every single time we take a call for your business, our system will ensure that all your vital company information appears immediately in front of our Pressplay Receptionist before they answer the call with your company name.
And our system isn’t limited to just knowing the basics such as taking messages. If you want to provide us with details of a special offer or some information that customers might want after seeing an advertisement, you can notify us of this via our system and we can respond accordingly when your customers call
Within 60 seconds of your call being received, we’ll e-mail all the details of the call and make it easy to see whether you need to follow up the call along with contact details. And if you’re not the sort of person who checks your e-mail very often, no need to worry, we can also optionally send you an SMS text message with all the details you require to contact the customer or client
You can update your greeting, instructions, custom questions, scenarios and settings as many times and as often as you like using your Pressplay Receptionist log in.
Add in offers, prices or even waiting times to help keep your customers in the know.
