The next call that your business receives might be your new highest revenue-producing client, but you may never know if youāre unable to answer every call. Itās a very common problem for employees, especially for those working for small businesses, to let some calls go straight to voicemail as they focus on existing work, but research has shown that clients hire the first business to respond, so timeliness is of the utmost importance. For small business owners, this is critical as they have little time, energy, and money to waste as they strive to grow their business. Small business owners and operators needing help in responding quickly to leads should consider using virtual receptionists to ensure theyāre not missing opportunities. Smith.aiās virtual receptionists can answer calls during business hours, after-hours, nights, and weekends. Smith.aiās receptionists can also answer overflow calls and while youāre away from the office so that you never miss a beat. āWith Smith.ai, Iām no longer missing calls and losing potential revenue,ā says Heidi Thompson of Lifeguarding Legacies.

Heidi noticed that some of her missed inbound calls from potential clients werenāt leaving voicemail messages as she focused on existing client work. She quickly grew concerned as she realized that by missing these calls that sheās potentially missing out on potential revenue.
One day, while listening to a podcast hosted by an attorney she trusted, the answer came. The podcast mentioned Smith.ai and how virtual receptionists help attorneys struggling with answering inbound calls from leads.ā
