Cost-effective

Our virtual receptionist service is not only competitively priced, but it also offers the benefits of a dedicated receptionist without the costs of hiring a full-time employee.

Nuisance sales calls can distract you and your team from the tasks that truly drive your business forward. Our virtual receptionists can help by removing you from sales lists, ensuring that only the important calls make it through to you.

 Integrations with your tools

Our service offers flawless integrations with the tools you already use, making it easier to manage your business. Whether it’s your CRM, scheduling software, or other platforms, we ensure smooth communication between systems for a more efficient workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free trial available?
Yes, you can try us for free for 7 days. Our friendly team will work with you to get you up and running as soon as possible.
Who can benefit from an answering service?
Every business could benefit from using a telephone answering service, particularly in busy periods or outside of your usual hours. Types of businesses that can benefit from a live call answering service include:

Medical practices
Estate agents
Opticians
Small Business
Dentists
Attorney Offices
Home Services
Legal & Law Firms
Accountants
IT & software companies
Construction firms
Recruitment agencies
Solicitors
Retail & Customer service & Ecommerce
What happens to my messages after you take them?
All of your messages will be automatically forwarded to the relevant person via their preferred method, whether that’s email, text or through our dedicated customer portal.

Messages are stored in your client portal so you can refer back to them later, or find them if you accidentally delete a message we’ve forwarded to you. You’ll also get access to every call recording that is dealt with by your virtual receptionists, so you can review how each call is being handled and request changes if you’re not satisfied with anything regarding your call answering service.
What happens if I only want some calls to be answered?
Our answering service call handlers will only answer the calls you want them to. We’ll discuss your exact requirements as part of your initial onboarding, whether you’re signing up for a free trial or starting a new contract. Any calls that you don’t want us to answer that you can’t get to yourself can still be picked up by an answering machine, or a recorded message can play to encourage the caller to leave a message or voicemail.
How much does your phone answering service cost?
Our most popular answering plans start at $199, rising depending on the calls used in that month.

All plans are optimized every month, so if you have a quieter month or your business is seasonal, we’ll work with you to ensure you’re only paying the appropriate tariff each month.

Visit our pricing page or ask a member of our team for more information about how much an answering service costs to get an accurate quote.
How long will my call answering service contract last?
Our call answering contracts start on a 30 day rolling period once your initial free trial period.
How do I know you’re dealing with my calls properly?
Simple – unlike other telephone answering services, we give you access to the complete recordings of every call we answer. That way, you can review exactly how your virtual receptionists are dealing with your business’ calls and request changes if you’re not happy with anything. All our calls are forwarded directly to you to access whenever you want.
What training do your call handlers get?
All of our virtual receptionists go through a intensive training program, which includes basic call handling, followed by three stages of calls until they’re able to confidently deal with any type of caller. This is followed by ongoing training as they continue working with us.
Why choose outsourced customer service vs hiring in-house?
With most answering services, you pay based on the call volume or time spent on calls. Even if your business deals with hundreds of calls, this price still works out significantly cheaper than the $40,000 a year you could end up spending on a full-time receptionist.

What’s more, with outsourced customer service, you have a range of options and prices to choose from, so you can build your service around your budget.
What is a virtual receptionist service?
Virtual receptionists are essentially outsourced personal assistants who work for a telephone answering service provider like YourReceptionist. A virtual receptionist is able to do all of the same tasks as a full-time receptionist who’s employed physically in your office, such as processing incoming calls and directing clients to the relevant members of your team – the difference is that a virtual receptionist is not directly employed by your business.
What are the benefits of using a telephone answering service?
There are so many benefits to using a business call answering service. These include:

Never miss an important call – it could cost you
Improve customer service, and subsequently your reputation
Extend your business opening hours, without needing to be on call yourself
Increase your business’ productivity, with more time to focus on getting tasks done
What calls can your answering service deal with?
Whether you need an answering service that can handle every call you get, seasonal support for peak periods, or you just need some help answering overflow calls, our services are designed to be flexible to suit the needs of your business. Our expert team of virtual Receptionists can answer as many calls as you need us to at a given time. We’re more than happy to work around your capacity and take on more or less, as and when you need.
What happens if more than one customer calls at once and my receptionist is on the phone?
When you sign up to our telephone answering service, you’ll be assigned a team of professional Receptionists – this is typically made up of two Receptionists and your account lead.

If one of your Receptionist is busy on a call when another comes in, the other members of your answering service team will be able to step in. We’ve got you covered!
Will I be charged for wrong numbers or sales calls?
If we think we’ve taken a sales call we can politely decline it for you so you don’t have to deal with it. We can also help you get removed from sales or nuisance calls lists for the future. This makes sure you only pay for the calls that matter.
Can I change my answering service package at any time?
Yes! We understand that sometimes you might not be as busy as you thought you’d be, or are seeing an unexpected influx of new calls.

We always optimize your account depending on your usage. If you use our answering service less in one month, we place you on the plan required; likewise, if you use more we move you up a plan.

This means that you’re always getting the best value for money without having to lift a finger.
How will your answering service receptionists work with my team?
You can set out how you’d prefer us to answer calls and notification preferences for each team member via text, email or through our dedicated client portal.

If we’re handling appointment booking, we’ll sync your teams’ diaries with our own system so we have visibility over their availability for meetings, and can automatically book appointments around the times they’re available.
Do you provide me with full call recordings as part of your answering service?
We certainly do! As well as providing you with your messages, our answering service also provides you with the complete call recordings of every call answered. This way, you can listen back and hear exactly how your virtual receptionists are handling calls and request any changes.

At YourReceptionist, we provide all your call recordings through your dedicated client portal, which you can access 24/7.
How flexible or scalable is YourReceptionist’ telephone answering service?
We understand that the level of calls you receive won’t be the same all year round, so your requirements for an answering service will likely change throughout the year. All of our call answering services are flexible month-on-month to suit the individual needs of your business.
