Our services are available around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Message Center operates 24/7/365 days per year and has never closed for even a single hour. Our virtual receptionist team is highly trained and capable of promptly answering calls, providing your clients with the attention they deserve. Our wait times are minimal, ensuring that no caller is kept on hold for extended periods. After our virtual receptionist has answered, your client will only be put on hold if they are being transferred to the desired party they are trying to reach or if the virtual

receptionist is researching information requested by the caller. At The Message Center, we adhere to the philosophy of providing efficient and effective service to our clients. We firmly reject the notion of rushed service, and instead prioritize prompt and streamlined service that avoids any extraneous or redundant actions. This approach not only ensures that our clients receive the highest level of care, but it also has the added benefit of minimizing expenses, as you will only be billed for the exact amount of time required to meet your needs.

Our services offer bilingual English/Spanish operators at no additional cost, available 24/7.

As a responsible and forward-thinking business, we recognize the significant demand for bilingual customer service. With approximately 20% of the American population speaking Spanish, offering support in this language not only demonstrates a commitment to cultural sensitivity, but it also presents a valuable opportunity for expanding our reach.

To that end, we are proud to offer bilingual English/Spanish virtual receptionists, who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at no additional cost. Furthermore, for those who require a more personalized touch, we can also provide professional custom greetings in either English and/or Spanish to play before our virtual receptionist answers the call. With these comprehensive services, we are confident in our ability to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

Inbound Call Scripts

We offer inbound call scripting that enables you to create protocols that guide The Message Center virtual receptionists as they assist your inbound callers. The stages of call scripting include gathering different information depending on the type of call, and ensuring the prompt delivery of messages to a specific person in your office in urgent situations. There are many instances when specific calls require a quicker response.

Phases of Inbound Call Scripting in Action:

The greeting phrase recited when the operator answers, such as, "Thank you for calling Stern, Lockhart & Gardner."
Careful listening to the caller to determine the reason for the call. This helps us understand what questions to ask and gather the necessary details.
Organizing the details into a clear, distinguishable message format.
Closing the call by informing the caller of what to expect and providing any specified information.
Delivery of the message to the appropriate person in your office using the chosen method of delivery.

Outbound Call Scripts

Outbound call scripts are used for reaching out to clients, such as for appointment reminders, upcoming court dates, or any other specific instance when you want a specific recipient to receive a specific message. Like inbound call scripts, outbound call scripts provide The Message Center virtual receptionists with protocols to follow as additional data is collected. For example, a custom outbound call script may instruct the virtual receptionist making appointment reminder calls to document the desired rescheduling date and time if the client needs to cancel or change the appointment. Other information can also be obtained, and the instructions can be adjusted as needed.

We guarantee fast response times.

When you call into The Message Center, you'll find that the virtual receptionist will pick up the phone almost immediately. Our priority is to provide quick response times, but not at the expense of quality service. Our virtual receptionists are trained to listen carefully to each call, and their excellent documentation skills allow them to accurately record and format the encounter to your specific instructions. With typing speeds of over 80 words per minute, the virtual receptionist is able to document the entire call efficiently. The receptionist will then evaluate the message and follow your instructions on how to deliver it to you promptly. This process can be completed in as little as 1-2 minutes, but we will take as much time as needed to ensure that your calls receive the attention they deserve.

We provide convenient access to a supervisor.

At The Message Center, we understand the importance of taking care of your clients and ensuring that they feel valued and supported, even when you are unavailable. Our commitment to exceptional client service is evident in the way we treat our clients and the multiple support options we offer, including online portal access, email, fax, text, secure messaging, support ticket submission, and direct access to a supervisor 24/7. In the event of an urgent issue that cannot wait until the next business day, a supervisor is available to support you at any hour of the day or night. This level of support sets us apart from other service providers and is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional service.

What is our strategy for maintaining stable rates?

At The Message Center, employee training and skill development are a top priority. We believe that by providing our virtual receptionists with the tools they need to excel at their jobs, they will be more motivated and engaged in their work. Our workplace culture encourages positive teamwork and focuses on our central goal of supporting our clients.
