The truth is you can’t afford NOT to have an answering service. Here’s why. By partnering with Direct Line Tele Response, your company is able to provide not only improved customer service but around the clock responsiveness when your callers and potential customers require an immediate response.
By having a 24/7/365 answering service,you’ve just expanded your business operating hours by over 2/3 from the typical 9-5. Think about it.

It’s not only good business, it’s smart business.

Yes, you do need an answering service even if you are a small business owner or a corporate executive. Enlisting the support of a Live Answering Service absolutely makes sense.

If a caller requires a translator, we can absolutely assist them with our translation services partners so as to improve your caller experience and reduce frustration and unnecessary stress.
5. Callers don’t want to talk to an answering service…
Look at your business through the eyes of your customer – if you call your business telephone number, what type of service do you receive, what do you hear, what do you NOT hear, how do you feel about your experience? By enlisting the support of Direct Line Tele Response, your callers won’t be able to tell that they’re not speaking with someone directly in your office.

When today’s consumers pick up the phone, they want to talk to a live human being and feel like they are getting answers to their questions and their needs met.
