Learn how Smith.ai can help your business. Weâll address your questions about our receptionist, chat, and campaign services.
Instead of outsourcing to a run-of-the-mill, over-extended call center with impersonal, robotic agents, or letting your after-hour inquiries go straight to voicemail, you can cover your bases 24/7 with Smith.aiâs inbound call center services. A team of âround-the-clock live remote receptionists act as your live answering service â way better for business and your client relationships than impersonal, robotic-sounding call center agents.Â
Manage appointments, intake new clients, assist loyal customers, promote a better customer experience, and save time for whatâs most important: the good work you do for your clients and customers. All without ever picking up the phone yourself, unless you choose to accept call transfers.
Smith.ai is the inbound call center solution youâve been looking for. Weâll provide the call center solution services your business and employees need without wasting your time or money.
Above & Beyond a Call Center
âWe do way more than just call-answering â our virtual receptionists take care of your businessâ needs, such as scheduling appointments, collecting payments and intaking leads, while you handle everything else. And all virtual receptionists are based in North America.
âPredictable & Affordable Pricing
âUnlike other inbound call center solutions, you pay per call, not per minute, so monthly bills are predictable and donât go up or down based on chatty callers.
âFree Spam Blocking
âSmith.ai technology blocks spam from 20 million known robocallers and spammers, instantly, so they never even interrupt our receptionists from their hard work. We can also block numbers individually if nuisance callers contact you, but arenât on our global spam list. All spam, sales, and wrong-number calls are always free.Â
Never Miss an Important Call
You canât answer every ringing phone, but our team can make sure you still land or keep the client on the other end. We can warm-transfer leads, and even pre-screen leads based on your custom criteria and questions, so we only interrupt you when we have a great potential new client on the line (or an existing one!).
Highest Sound Quality For an âIn-Houseâ Feel
With superb bandwidth, hardware, and quiet backgrounds, our receptionists are poised to represent your business professionally every time. We even have our own teams of managers that monitor call handling performance for you. Your callers and clients will never know the difference between your office and our virtual receptionists.Â
FriendlyTeam of Sales & Support Professionals
Our North America-based virtual receptionists are more than just call center agents. They provide helpful communication with an ever-present smile on their faces, even if your clients canât see them over the phone. Our staff come with years of customer service, hospitality, and office management experience, so you can rest easy that seasoned professionals are on the lines.
âTechnology-Driven Efficiencies & Integrations
âWe integrate with your business software, so calls, chats, calendar appointments, texts, and Facebook Messages are logged in your CRM, calendar, and marketing automation programs. With integrations to popular programs like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Calendly, plus 1,000s more that we connect to through Zapier, your data is always instantly logged and thereâs no data entry chores for your staff to sync up your systems.
Smith.ai receptionists make calls on your behalf, improving your speed-to-lead and unburdening staff who need to reach out to clients. We'll call-back online leads who complete web forms, contact donors for donation renewals, chase down payments on unpaid invoices, and more. We'll even send follow-up emails and texts after every call to ensure a connection is made. Learn more.
With a metadata-enriched dashboard, detailed call summaries, and access to real-time call data, youâll have the key information you need to strengthen your approach, better serve customers, and close more sales. Plus, Smith.ai's call recording & transcription allows you to listen to recordings of your calls to hear what clients have to say, so you can get all the benefits of being on a call without actually having to be on a call.

So, whatâs the difference between virtual receptionists and call center services? Itâs simple. Virtual receptionists seamlessly integrate into your business, handling inbound calls, scheduling appointments, and performing tasks as an in-house receptionist would. Whereas, call center service agents are only trained in whatâs absolutely necessary, which can result in an impersonal, low-quality experience. â
