As businesses contend with increasing costs caused by runaway inflation, there has never been more pressure on business leaders, particularly CFOs, FDs and Finance Managers, to find savings. However, many will feel that they have already made significant reductions.
Upward pressure on payroll is of course a consequence of inflation, with employees seeking salary raises to help them offset some of the increased costs of energy and food and interest rate rises, which have precipitated the cost of living crisis.
It’s an inescapable fact that businesses need to invest in people and technology. However, in such a low-confidence economic climate, the temptation is to defer investment decisions unless they become critical. But as part of a business strategy, that is fraught with danger because businesses risk becoming uncompetitive and falling behind their rivals.
In a nutshell, there is a need to get more value out of your people and technology tools, as well as reduce costs.
Simply 66 answering services help to square this elusive circle of value that revolves around people, technology and cost reduction.
The value of employees can be undermined by being caught up in low-level tasks or by interruptions that break up their workflow. A Sales Manager working on a high-value proposal doesn’t need the distraction of unfiltered phone calls. Similarly, knowledge workers of all types have higher-value tasks to attend to that are often on critical timelines. They could really do without the phone ringing unnecessarily.
Simply66 replaces the cost overhead of receptionists with high-quality answering services. Our team of professional receptionists are equipped with the best in technology to make sure that every call is answered just the way you would deal with them yourself.
Take for example Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Inbound telephone calls are often enquiries that revolve around the same routine questions. Naturally, the most common questions asked by callers vary depending on the context and industry, but some typical questions might include:
