While browsing online for a live answering service you may have noticed the wide range of prices for a virtual receptionist. To make the pricing of services more transparent, Posh has created a quick overview of the cost of a virtual receptionist<\/a>. This includes the overall cost, what is included in the cost, and how to select the best option for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cost of Virtual Receptionist<\/span><\/h2>\n

When comparing the cost of a virtual receptionist, it can seem like the prices widely vary depending on the provider. In order to properly compare plans, you will need to understand how virtual receptionist pricing works. Pricing for virtual receptionist services is based on minutes. These minutes are the amount of time a receptionist spends on the phone with your callers or the time spent completing an activity for your account. You then select a plan that aligns with the amount of time you expect a receptionist to spend on your account.<\/span><\/p>\n

In some cases, prices can be up to \u00a3<\/span><\/span><\/span>139<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0a month for 50 receptionist minutes. At Posh, we believe that quality service doesn\u2019t have to be expensive. That\u2019s why our pricing is often half the price of our competitors. We offer exceptional service at an affordable price. Don’t get locked into a high-cost plan with hidden costs, find a provider who offers reasonable prices and professional service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Comes With The Cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n

In addition to looking at price comparisons, it is important to review the services that are included in the monthly cost. With a Posh virtual receptionist, you have access to customised onboarding, an on-the-go app, and all-inclusive services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customised Onboarding<\/span><\/h4>\n

In order for a business phone answering service<\/a> to properly integrate itself with your company, a customised onboarding process is necessary. At Posh, we take the time to understand your callers, and your business, and form customised \u201ccall flow\u201d with scripting for your receptionists to follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, we offer integrations with a wide variety of software that allows us to work seamlessly into your already existing processes. With a dedicated specialist, the entire onboarding experience only takes 24-48 hours to become fully functional. It will make the process easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On-the-go App<\/span><\/h4>\n

Similarly, when you work with Posh, you have access to our streamlined telephone application. The app allows you to access messages, phone calls, scheduling, and more from your mobile device. You can make calls from your business phone number, set your availability, review call logs, and respond to messages quickly and easily.

Inclusive Services<\/span><\/h4>\n

Where most live answering services<\/a> would stop, Posh goes above and beyond. Our low monthly cost covers everything you see and more\u2014with no hidden fees.

How to Choose the Best Option for You<\/span><\/h3>\n

Now that you have information on the differences between live answering services, you are probably wondering how to choose the right plan. Start by considering how many calls you receive on a daily basis and what duties you would want your receptionist to complete.
