Customer service representatives that answer the phone 24/7/365 help your business grow
Are you using an automated telephone answering service? If so, you could be losing business rather than gaining business. Here are findings that support this conclusion from allydayPA, who recently surveyed 1,000 consumers.
- 55% of consumers would take their business away from a company that relies on automated call answering and voicemail, rather than providing a human voice on the other end of the phone. ( Source )
- 71% of consumers said a business having automated call answering would make them more likely to choose an alternative supplier. ( Source )
- 62% of consumers are happy to get an answer later in the day or over email as long as they/ve been able to explain their query to a person; in other words, consumers are more forgiving when it comes to not getting the exact person they are calling. ( Source )
