Does this sound familiar?
“Often the phone would ring constantly throughout the day but I was too busy treating clients to answer. This was frustrating for clients, irritating for me (as I’d have to spend my lunchtimes and evenings returning calls!) and was potentially costing me new business!” This was the experience of Jennifer Spencer, and we know it is the experience of thousands of other sma
ll businesses. Jennifer Spencer founded Real Time Reception following her own experiences as a qualified podiatrist with years of experience in private practice. In 2004 she opened her own busy clinic but found she missed the services of a receptionist:
As someone just starting out Jennifer couldn’t justify the cost of a full-time receptionist so she started to look for telephone answering and reception services – she couldn’t find one so she started one herself. The virtual receptionist and telephone answering services provided by Real Time Reception include:
- Call Handling
- Appointment scheduling and diary management
- Message forwarding service
- Flexibility to provide our services to any industry, business or professional – such as driving instructors, lawyers,
accountancy firms or sole-traders
- A growing business with help from Real Time Reception
The services provided by Real Time Reception have grown from strength-to-strength and Jennifer now has a skilled team of experienced, professional and caring receptionists. All are fully trained and understand that they are the frontline of our client’s customer service. In 2007, Jennifer was joined by business leader Howard Hughes whose extensive experience and knowledge has helped grow the company further. Together they are firmly committed to expanding Real Time Reception’s already excellent virtual receptionist and telephone answering services whilst still maintaining its basis in affordability for all their clients. Jennifer ensures that Real Time Reception is focused on the three qualities that are the heart of all the services we provide:
* Efficiency
* Reliability
* Affordability
