Example - A Virtual Receptionist for Wendy's Webshop
Wendy has a website where she sells garden gnomes in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Wendy knows the web is a wary place to shop; she wants to put a contact number on her website to increase buyer confidence.
Here's the phone service Wendy needs.
- A phone number in the UK and Ireland.
- A phone menu system that helps callers find what they want (press 1 for returns etc..)
- To collect callers information and a voicemail, because Wendy does not actually want to talk to callers!
Here's how LazyPBX solved it for Wendy.
With LazyPBX Wendy got two phone numbers, one for the UK and one for Ireland. Wendy connected the numbers to a menu with professional recordings giving her the image she wanted for her company. Wendy asks customers to use the website for support but she gives the option of leaving a voicemail which she receives as an email attachement. Wendy also setup a VoIP (Voice Over IP) phone which connected into her LazyPBX cloud to give cheaper international calls.
