The world is very soon becoming a virtual platform and so are the businesses. A number of businesses today operate virtually; they don’t hire a particular office premise, but instead, take up co-working spaces and operate from these spaces with the help of mobile technologies like cell phones and laptops. Doing so saves businesses thousands of dollars each year on rent, taxes, bills, and other such expenses. And this is where a virtual office phone answering service, also known as a virtual receptionist(VR) comes into play. Here, calls are outsourced to a company that hires a number of receptionists to handle calls for different companies, virtually. The receptionist doesn’t sit in your office premises, obviously, because you don’t have one, but answers the call in such a way as though she is answering the call right from your very own office premise. These receptionists are professionally trained in taking messages, virtual phone number forwarding, call patching, diary management, taking orders, and managing emergency call responses. Hiring a virtual office phone answering service costs just about a fraction of what it would cost to hire a full-time receptionist. While a VR costs anywhere between USD 100 and USD 800 per month, a full-time receptionist costs about $USD 2,500 per month, for about 40 hours of work per week.
