HERE WHEN YOU NEED US

Overflow answering service and call answering

Don’t lose business because you’re too busy to answer. You'll have the first chance to answer but we'll pick up if you're away or busy.

An extension of your office

Think of Smith.ai as an extra receptionist. We help with answering telephone calls, giving directions to your office, scheduling appointments, screening leads, and more. We'll provide a simple-to-use overflow live answering service.

Never send a caller to voicemail

As a business owner, it is important to capture every opportunity you can get. Every person that goes to voicemail could be a missed opportunity for new business. With our overflow service, you can be confident that a live agent is there to answer your incoming calls. Let us back up your team to ensure no call is left unanswered, and hold times remain low.

76% of callers reported that non-call centers, like answering services, are helpful.

24/7 call overflow answering

Never miss a call from a new lead - even at 2am. We'll answer all of your after-hours calls for 24/7 overflow coverage. By having a live agent available to answer calls outside of your regular business hours, you can be sure your potential customers are being nurtured through the sales funnel.

Answer all calls during busy periods

Running a successful marketing campaign? Have a temporary boost in calls all at once? We can answer an unlimited number of calls at once, so you can take full advantage of a peak in interested leads.

“One of the big reasons we chose a virtual receptionist is after looking at the statistics of the number of phone calls that go unanswered, [...] we wanted to be proactive in making sure we aren’t responding in the way that the industry standards appeared to be. We want to be on the front of that wave to increase the accessibility of our services.”
