Never miss a call with 24/7 live receptionists.

Chiropractor services have boomed in popularity over the last decade. Whether they'd like to learn preventive techniques, treat a bad sprain, or would just like to keep up on regular alignments, clients will keep chiropractors' schedules booked. But while chiropractors are busy treating patients, they're sure to miss important phone calls from interested new clients. But with a chiropractor answering service like Smith.ai, lead qualification and intake can be taken care of along with other time-consuming administrative duties. A reliable answering service takes the pressure off of chiropractor teams by providing custom support wherever they need most. From 24/7 call answering and appointment scheduling to quality lead screening and payment collecting, chiropractor practices who use an answering service can check more off their to-do list without lifting a single finger. A few of the benefits that chiropractors have experienced thanks to an answering service include:

• Expanded availability

With an answering service that’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, your clients will always speak with a real human being, never a robot. If your team isn't able to pick up the call, a trained and knowledgeable agent will, giving your clients’ questions a thoughtful, educated response and enjoyable customer experience every time they reach out to your business.

• Increased leads captured  

Missed calls mean missed opportunities. Don’t lose out on another lead just because you’re too busy to pick up the phone. Answering services provide evening, weekend, and after-hours availability, so whether your office is closed, busy, or otherwise unavailable, you'll never have to miss another call, or another potential client.

• Increased work productivity

By entrusting an answering service with your calls, your teams' schedule will be free from the burden of tedious administrative duties, like appointment booking. Less time spent on the phone means more time spent on productive work. An answering service allows your chiropractor clinic to get more real work done. Get ready to welcome more growth opportunities for your business.

Read our 5-star reviews to learn why chiropractors across the world prefer Smith.ai for their administrative support.

We know you want to maximize your spending, so the cost of "front desk" support may understandably be an important factor in your decision to hire some administrative assistance. Keeping costs lows and quality high is crucial, but with an in-house receptionist, chiropractors may not get the best deal. To give you a little more insight into the cost comparisons, we've compiled a short list to highlight the average expenses chiropractor teams can anticipate when hiring a traditional in-house receptionist.

The average salary nationwide for an in-house receptionist is about $37,000 and they often come with pricey, often hidden fees, such as:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, costing about $11,000/year
• Life and disability insurance, costing about $2,000/year
• 401K’s, retirement and pension plans, costing about $2,000/year
• Paid sick leave, holidays, and vacations, costing about $5,500/year
• Commuting reimbursement, costing about $5,000/year
• Child care subsidy and parental leave, costing about $3,000/year
• Health and wellness programs, costing about $1,000/year
• Bonus pay, costing about $2,000/year
• Company retreats, team bonding events, and employee outings, costing about $4,000/year
• Free lunch, snacks, and drinks, costing about $3,500/year
  

Total Cost, Including Salary: $77,000/year

If your chiropractor practice happens to be located in any major city, you'll likely be stuck with a much heftier bill in the end. And don't forget: your new-hire is only human, which means when they inevitably come in late, call in sick, request time off, take personal leaves of absence, go on vacation, etc., it's your business that'll be stuck with the short stick. Sadly, you won't be getting the quality of service you'd expect for the price you're paying. Contrarily, Smith.ai’s virtual receptionists can accomplish the same tasks as an in-house receptionist and then some. Barring coffee runs and supply restocks, virtual receptionists can address all of your major call answering, appointment scheduling, and administrative needs, while providing services in-house receptionists simply can't offer, like 24/7, after-hours, and overflow answering, or free spam blocking. Plus, Smith.ai is much more affordable than an in-house receptionist.

Smith.ai’s answering service costs as little as $255/month, with no hidden fees. Ever. By hiring an answering service instead of an in-house receptionist, your business could save over $33,000/year on salary alone, and possibly up to $40,000/year in benefits beyond salary payments. Not only will your chiropractor practice save thousands, but your productivity and net profit are guaranteed to soar. Unlike in-house receptionists, virtual receptionists can answer calls outside of normal operating hours, enabling your office to capture and covert nearly 27% more leads. Smith.ai’s agents can also answer live chats, texts, and social media messages, which is how 46% of customers prefer communicating with businesses. 

Virtual receptionists can even provide sales assistance by making outbound calls to convert more leads, satisfying the over 67% of clients who base their decision to hire a business on the initial responsiveness to their call or email. With leads receiving immediate, professional responses, there's no limit to the amount of leads your team will be able to convert. With Smith.ai’s trusted chiropractor answering service, your team can enjoy the benefits of several in-house receptionists without the cost.

Keeping a chiropractor practice up and running requires teams to have their hands full. From implementing daily office procedures to executing long-term business development projects, chiropractor teams have more than enough on their plate to attend to, let alone the quality medical services they're expected to provide. With fast-paced work environments like this, it can be tough to tackle overwhelming workloads on-time week after week. Outsourced support can be an invaluable tool in helping chiropractors stay on top of growing administrative demands and effectively handle any challenges that their in-house teams don't have the time or bandwidth to tackle themselves. A couple of the most common scenarios we've noticed chiropractors require virtual receptionist services for are:

• I need “front desk” support, but simply can't afford it

“Front desk” support is a must-have for any business. An answering service in particular can relieve busy chiropractor teams of the constant administrative pressure, among many other benefits. With a limited budget, however, many chiropractor clinics can't afford to dish out thousands on traditional front desk support, such as in-house receptionists or call centers, that often are far too pricey, unreliable, and ineffective to be worth the investment.

• Constant phone call interruptions keep me and my team from completing real work

Calls come in whether your team is available to answer them or not. When chiropractors frequently have to interrupt client appointments just to pick up the phone, they can easily lose focus on their more urgent duties. And when it takes, on average, about 23 minutes to get back to a task after being interrupted by a phone call, the quality of their service is sure to take a huge hit, and clients will take note.

• Growing demands are overwhelming my team

While business growth can be great for a number of reasons, it might present a unique challenge for your team. With more calls that need to be answered, more appointments that need to be scheduled, and more invoices that need to be sent out, chiropractor teams can quickly get overwhelmed trying to balance their new workload with their existing duties. Your productivity starts to plummet as your team struggles to get more done in less time.

• I can’t offer around-the-clock availability to answer calls

When the work day ends, chiropractor teams deserve to go home and enjoy their free time away from clients, but just because your office shuts down for the night doesn't mean calls stop coming in. When your team isn't available to pick up the phone, leads can and will be missed, as over 27% of leads call outside of normal business hours. Chiropractor practices may want to offer after-hours answering, but with restricted operating hours, budgets, and staff, it can seem like an impossible feat.

Whether your chiropractor practice has dealt with one of these scenarios, or one quite similar, an answering service can provide the support you need where you need it most. By outsourcing overwhelming administrative tasks directly to a professional answering service, you can take these time-consuming duties off your teams' plate, keeping them from wasting their precious in-office hours on unproductive work, and still address your growing customer support demands. Whether you need call handling, appointment scheduling, and payment collecting support, Smith.ai's virtual receptionists can accomplish everything an in-house receptionist or call-center can, and then some. From 24/7 after-hours and overflow call answering to quality lead screening and intaking, Smith.ai can provide comprehensive customer support around-the-clock, so your callers are always in good hands.

We hate to break it to you, but your team is not superhuman. They can't (and shouldn't) be expected to fix every single problem that comes your office's way. But an answering service sure can. Outsourcing to a reliable answering service like Smith.ai allows a team of highly-trained professionals to take over the administrative responsibilities your team has a tough time keeping up with, whether that's 24/7 responsiveness or high-quality lead screening. Answering services like Smith.ai provide a blanket of support, so regardless of the challenges your business faces, you can rest easy knowing an answering service can provide the superior manpower and advanced tools your chiropractor practice needs to survive any troubles that come your way. The most frequently reported problems that chiropractor clinics like yours face are:

• I can’t answer all of the incoming calls and messages I receive from clients

With a limited staff and nonstop appointments, projects, and other urgent duties to attend to, chiropractor teams often struggle to pick up the phone in time. This means clients, new and old, are left on hold or in the hands of a voicemail box. Chiropractor teams' lead conversion and client retention rates won't survive if customer service is constantly neglected, but teams can't just drop their more important work, like a client's alignment, just to answer the phone. Rock, meet a hard place.

• I’m spending my entire day on administrative tasks and can’t get productive, real work done

With the price of in-house receptionists being as high as it is, chiropractor teams looking to make better use of their budget are left to delegate daily tasks themselves. Despite spending a large portion of their day performing administrative duties, teams often struggle to balance their important projects with their regular office tasks, causing productivity to be inconsistent at best.

• I’m losing out on new business leads due to missed calls and it's costing me money

Responding to each call can feel impossible for chiropractor offices with a long never-ending list of administrative tasks. Busy teams can easily fall behind on responding to new inquiries when trying to get it all done, so potential leads can and will be missed. Leads don't wait for call-backs. They call the next business in the search results. If businesses fail to pick up, they not only lose a lead, they lose ROI, money on marketing campaigns and ad spend, as well as conversion rates from ads.

• I can’t reply fast enough to leads to beat my competition to new clients

With such a competitive and demanding market, it's easy to understand how challenging it can be for independent or growing chiropractor practices to distinguish themselves and their services from their competitors. Providing quality customer service through quick and thoughtful responses can place any business in good standing with potential clients, but chiropractor teams may not have the time or manpower to deliver the responsiveness their leads expect, causing them to lose out on a number of lead conversion opportunities.

• I’m have difficulty finding and keeping new clients

One of the most crucial, yet challenging aspects of growing a successful business is finding and converting new clients. With so much time and effort being spent towards existing clients, however, a majority of chiropractor practices have little time left in their busy day to seek out and nurture new clients. Slow response times, inconsistent answering, and poor quality phone assistance won't do much to lend chiropractor practices a hand in retaining existing clients either.

• My clients’ data is difficult to keep track of

Understanding how, when, and why clients call is absolutely crucial for any business interested in successfully navigating and growing their client relationships, but unfortunately, client information can be challenging to effectively track. Maintaining detailed phone records and call data can be a huge demand for chiropractor offices who likely disperse client data across a multitude of software platforms. And when client data is mismanaged or lost, chiropractors can miss out on lead conversion and client retention opportunities.
