Virtual Receptionist\/ Assistant <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Instead of hiring a full-time receptionist to answer phone calls and do other administrative tasks, you can get a virtual receptionist,<\/p>\n<p>which is a real receptionist working externally that answers phone calls, forwards calls, takes caller information, transfers calls, and some of these services also take it a step further and receptionist can answer FAQs, problem shoot, and offer chat support as well.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great solution for small businesses that can\u2019t hire an in-house receptionist because it can be expensive and is time-consuming as you need to train the receptionist.<\/p>\n<p>With a fraction of the cost, you can use this service for high-quality customer service through trained and professional receptionists.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Virtual Phone System<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A virtual phone system can help put online businesses or home-based businesses on the map; separate your personal and business calls without having to use multiple phones!<\/p>\n<p>A virtual phone number can be a local number or a toll-free number; with its flexibility, you are able to use it from both your cellphone and computer.<\/p>\n<p>You can work remotely and still maintain a professional appearance with a virtual phone system. A toll-free number is a great marketing technique as it eases customers into calling you,<\/p>\n<p>without wasting their money, and a local number will ensure your local presence. A virtual phone system allows you to create a business greeting, answer phone calls, forward or redirect calls, add extensions that allow multiple employees to use the same number, and record voice messages.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Virtual Fax <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Virtual fax or an eFax is an eco-friendly alternative to a physical fax machine, as it doesn\u2019t require hardware, paper, or ink. You can send digital documents in minutes through an online fax service to any fax number and any incoming faxes come as email attachments. This allows you to download, print, forward, or delete the faxes.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual Faxing is a flexible and convenient way to store faxes because it allows you to easily download what you need online, instead of having piles of paper making a mess.<\/p>\n<p>You can also send and receive faxes from anywhere, at any time, without needing to be in the office. Go green and lessen your usage of paper and save money at the same time by avoiding the expenses that come with a fax machine.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Virtual Mailbox<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postscanmail.com\/blog\/top-virtual-mailbox-services-2021.html\">Virtual mailbox providers<\/a> offer small businesses and startups convenience and a professional image. A virtual mailbox gives you a professional street address and allows you to open, organize, and archive all of your postal mail anywhere you have internet access.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of opting for an overpriced mailroom in your office or crowding your home with piles of mail, you can sort it all online. With a virtual mailbox, whenever your mail is delivered to our secure mail facilities, you receive an instant notification about your new mail with a scanned picture of the envelope.<\/p>\n<p>You are then able to send out real-time action requests including open &amp; scans, mail forwarding, shredding, recycling, and archiving.
