What happens once you take my call?

Once we have taken your telephone call, we can then do several things with it. First of all we can take a massage on your behalf, which can then be relayed to you via email, telephone, sms and voicemail. We take every care to ensure you get your message and understand it clearly. We will repeat your message and post it to you in an email, drop it in your voicemail for you to listen at a later date, or call you directly on your preferred telephone number to relay the message in person, or leave you a voicemail. You will confirm with us exactly how you would like your messages sent to you.More importantly, if you want to speak to your callers in person rather than us take a message for you, we can divert the call to your chosen number, so the client would call your exclusive London telephone number, we will then answer the call with your preferred greeting and then we can divert the call to any number you choose, such as your mobile. This gives the client the impression you are in the office, and we are just diverting the call to a different extension or desk.We offer great flexibility with our packages, so you can tailor your exclusive London telephone answering service to suit your exact needs, and our telephone answering packages offer superior value and flexibility.

There are many reasons why a small business owner may choose to benefit from using a virtual office. One great advantage of this is that it can help to boost your company’s image and reputation. A large proportion of small businesses use a residential address and for some people this can cause uncertainty about the reliability and legitimacy of the business, which in turn can lead to less trust, custom and sales. Virtual office can provide your business with a prestigious mail forwarding address in London which instantly gives your business huge credibility and a higher status.

Virtual Office Helps Keep Your Privacy Protected

‍

When seeing a registered London address, prospective clients are more likely to view the company as well established, trusted and reliable. As well as providing security for customers, using our virtual office service will keep your home address private and protect you from unwanted callers. This is an important reason for you to use a virtual office, and will help by keeping your home address off all public records. By using our virtual office address you will be preventing cold callers from just turning up at your home address at any time of the day completely unannounced -  which can be very awkward to say the least! Our service provides great peace of mind to our customers, you will know your home address is secure from all cold callers. In addition to our mail forwarding service, many small businesses use our virtual call answering service.

This service works much like having your own personal assistant who will handle all calls on your behalf. Unlike employing a full-time PA, which could cost you over £20,000 a year, a virtual personal assistant is an affordable option for your business. A full time virtual PA on the same hours would cost just a small fraction of that from Capital Office for 12 months. Your virtual call answering service will receive all calls and then divert them to your home or mobile phone quickly and without revealing either number to the caller. Alternatively, if you prefer not to answer all calls live, your callers are able to leave a message which you can listen to and then respond to later. This can be ideal if your work is very hands on meaning you cannot answer your phone straight away each time it rings, or your job means you are away from your phone regularly throughout the day. All of our call answering staff are native English speakers and have impeccable telephone manners and customer service skills.
