Let Alltel's Live Answering Service Look After Your Business Phone Calls This Christmas

Online, November 27, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Alltel Pty Ltd (www.alltel.com.au), a leading provider of telecommunications solutions to Australian businesses today announced a special Christmas offer to promote their Live Answering Service.

"This is the time of year when we can all use a little extra help around the office," said Trent Brinsley, Alltel's General Manager. "Our offer this year is designed to give people a bit of extra help around the office AND to save them money."

Things can get a little crazy during the holiday period, and businesses are not always able to answer their phones every time they ring. Letting calls go through to voicemail might not be the best option though.

Unanswered calls = lost business, with studies consistently showing that 3 out of every 4 callers simply hang up when their call goes through to voicemail. That's 75% of calls lost! And even worse than missing calls is the likelihood that many first-time callers will dial one of your competitors next.

No-one wants to lose 75% of their calls and the potential business those calls represent, but not everyone can justify the expense of a receptionist. That's where Live Answering Services come in.

With Live Answering, calls are answered by professional operators in Australian call centres. The operators greet callers using your company name, and then take messages that are immediately forwarded by SMS and email. The call centres operate all day every day, including weekends and public holidays (even Christmas day).

"We want people to try our Live Answering service for themselves and see what a difference it can make to their business-not to mention to their relaxation over the holiday period," said Brinsley. "And because Christmas is coming, we're in a gift-giving mood."

"That's why we're offering a FREE $25 credit to anyone who signs up for our Messages 24/7 service BEFORE December 14. Plans start from just $29 a month, so it's an affordable way to manage your phones at this busy time of year. The FREE $25 credit is the icing on the cake!"

To take advantage of this promotion, contact Alltel before December 14, 2012 on 1300 ALLTEL (1300 255 835) or visit Alltel's web site at www.alltel.com.au.
