Overflow Configuration - Live Answering Services

STEP 1 - Ring your Business

Typically, The 1300 or 1800 is configured to ring your primary business telephone number for a 15-20 seconds then overflow to the Live Answering Service. This gives you the ability to takes the majority of your incoming calls yourself, saving you money on excess calls and delivering a quicker response time to your customers.

In the event that your unable to take the call, or its after hours and there is no one to man the phones, the calls "overflow" to our operators who can take a message for you.

If you are unable to take the call, it will come to the Live Answering Service and it is answered by the first available operator. This operator reads out the greeting configured such as:

"Thanks for calling Digital Network Innovations, this is Luke speaking, how can I help you?"

The operator will then deflect any direct queries with lines such as:

  • "Sorry, I don't have that information, can I take a message and have someone call you back"
  • "Marcus is unavailable at the moment, can I take a message and have him call you back?"
