What are the reasons for choosing a virtual secretary?

Scalability is one of the great advantages provided by the virtual secretary’s office. The ways in which this service is delivered can be tailored to one’s needs. The availability is greater than with more traditional solutions and is therefore a major improvement for business and work qualities.

An external remote or virtual secretarial service allows you to improve the perception of your reality to the outside world. A proactive and permanent telephone response with no time limits, the ability to take note of requests and names, and the guarantee of having a useful and always attentive filter represent excellent reasons for relying on a virtual answering machine.

What are the functions performed by a virtual secretary? How it works

  • Managing and transferring calls and appointment making.
  • Direct relationship with customers.
  • First level data entry.
  • Management of small accounts.

The virtual secretary will operate by staying in touch with the relevant figure in the company through SMS, email, notifications. In this way, agendas will remain up-to-date and he will always be at the forefront of business management.

The virtual answering service offered by Phonetica

Phonetica, BPO Provider of INGO Group, has been embracing digital transformation for more than 20 years, adopting a modern omnichannel approach which involves the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Many companies have relied on Phonetica’s services, accepting the challenge and preferring modes such as kiosks and video receptionists instead of a physical switchboard or on-site secretary.

Artificial intelligence makes some operations faster and easier. For example. Omnichannel allows a remote secretary to access different tools simultaneously, being able to keep control over multiple activities efficiently. Artificial intelligence allows some functions to be handled in the first instance by chatbots or auto responders, so that the operator can focus on activities that require human input and are less mechanical and automatable.
