How Virtual Receptionists handle personal or sensitive information

Professional Handling Of Your Sensitive Information

We understand that your clients trust you with their sensitive information, and we want you to trust us as we provide you with top quality virtual reception. We believe that that entails our receptionists be as polite and professional with each caller, and treating any sensitive information to which they’re exposed in a confidential manner. We require that each receptionist sign a general confidentiality agreement protecting us, them, and of course, you, the client.

Some clients with particular concerns may have their own confidentiality agreement that they require as part of their legal compliance. If you have one of these agreements, we can arrange to have that signed by our receptionists to help you meet your compliance requirements.

Will My Virtual Receptionist Make Outgoing Calls for my Business?

Though we are not a call centre, Smiledog is able to make outgoing calls for your business. If you’re wondering what those calls would be like, let’s take a closer look at the Smiledog service. Our basic services entail answering your incoming calls, announcing and transferring those calls, and taking messages as you direct. In addition to these services, we can also perform phone-based small tasks for you, such as filling out forms or collecting certain information. Appointment-setting services are also another option for those seeking our virtual reception services.

What Outgoing Calls Does Smiledog Make?

An example of an outgoing call that Smiledog makes is the example of one of our clients calling in sick. When one of our clients is ill, he or she can call our office and request that the day’s appointments be rescheduled due to illness. Our receptionists can call the scheduled clients for that day and rebook the appointments for a future date.

Larger offices may not need this service because of coworkers who can take up the slack, but for smaller businesses or solo practitioners, this service is invaluable. It’s just like having an in-house receptionist ready and willing to perform in an emergency situation.

Smiledog’s Commitment To You

Our primary goal as a business is to provide premium virtual receptionist services to each and every one of our clients, with the hope that our service is completely transparent to incoming callers. The idea that we have in mind is that it always appears as though we are in-house receptionists to callers.

Let a Virtual Receptionist handle customer service issues | Smiledog

At Smiledog, we really consider that every incoming call is a “customer service” call. Though they may just be looking to speak with someone for a moment, we still consider the transfer of the call an experience that should satisfy the customer. When customers get an auto-answer or a voicemail, we think customer service is compromised. We feel that the best customer service comes when a business is answering each and every call during the business day with a live, friendly greeting.

What If An Angry Customer Calls?

Every business has the occasional irate caller, no matter how hard they work to satisfy their customers. We’re not afraid of these callers, in fact, our virtual receptionists are trained in how to handle every kind of caller in a calm, professional manner. They are able to reassurance and support, without compromising your position as a decision-maker in your business.

You may already have “best practices” in place to handle customer issues when they call in. You can discuss these protocols with us so that we understand them, and that we can properly direct our receptionists in your preferred procedures. Typically, our clients have a certain amount of information they want collected from customers with issues, so they can return a call with a solution in mind. You can create forms to ensure proper information is always collected.

We Want To Be Your Receptionist, Not Just Your Answering Service

Many who sign up with answering services get just that: an answering service. At Smiledog, we aim higher, hoping to replicate the experience of having an in-house receptionist. This is what sets us apart from the competition — we’re not just your answering service; we’re something more.

Call us today or visit our GETTING STARTED page to learn more about our services, and how we aim to provide the best customer service to you, and your customers too!

Full-Time & Backup Virtual Reception for Chiropractor Offices

Smiledog does a lot of work with chiropractic offices, both large and small. The services that we provide to them varies, based on their needs. Smiledog is always ready to customize services to provide your business with virtual reception that can lower costs and increase productivity. Smiledog works with a variety of different types of health care providers. We can provide both full-time and backup reception, as well as appointment setting services to growing chiropractic offices.

Full-Time Reception With Smiledog

Chiropractic offices with just one practitioner find it very beneficial to use Smiledog services. Chiropractors certainly can’t take a break from a client to answer a call, so many practitioners find it necessary to hire a receptionist even when their client base is still in the developing. By using Smiledog, you can dedicate the salary you would have spent on support staff and use it to build your client base. Smiledog’s affordable rates are accessible to chiropractic offices of all sizes. We offer chiropractors the opportunity to give each client their full attention without ever having to worry about missing a call.

In addition, we can handle all of your appointment setting, and any rescheduling should you get sick, right from our office. We use dynamic, web-based calendars so there is never a problem with double-booking clients — the calendar is always up-to-date!

Backup Reception With Smiledog

Larger chiropractic offices with several practitioners may find it necessary to have an in-house receptionist to handle patient concerns in the office and other administrative tasks. Smiledog can help these offices as well, by providing backup reception for those times when the receptionist is otherwise occupied.

Backup reception can work a variety of ways, depending on your situation. Some clients turn on backup reception as needed, such as days when their in-house receptionist is sick, on vacation, or otherwise unable to take calls. Offices with times of high call volume can have calls automatically routed to Smiledog after a predetermined number of rings, such as 3 or 4. Smiledog can help your office determine the ideal setup for your needs.
