This Cheat Sheet Was Written To Help

One client, Hampton Electrical, approached me needing help fielding all of the incoming calls that they were now getting.

After doing extensive research on different types of answering services, virtual office assistants, and virtual receptionist, I realized there was a lot of information needed to make a good decision on who to pick, but no one place to find it all.

Especially not from someone that doesn’t have a reason to sell you their services.

Why not package up all of that information together and share it with the local businesses, home service companies, and dentists that I work with?

The information provided, questions I’ve asked, and research I’ve done, was all simply to help a client of mine – If you pick one of the five companies I’ve outlined in the cheat sheet, or simply take the guided questionnaire and go off and interview your own options, so long as you find a good company – we all win.
