Hired Help founder, Jackie O’Donnell, felt there was a gap in the market for a PA/Call Answering Service that offered a higher level of professionalism and functionality.
Jackie had been a telephony trainer earlier in her career and was acutely aware how much users hate automated call systems, "Press 1 for sale, press 2 for customer care...". She was adamant these would not be used in her business.
Having used existing Answering Services in her own businesses, Jackie had found that they were often quite limited. Some simply took messages and emailed them or forwarded the call. Others had limited web accessible screens that listed messages. None had a seamless, fully interactive client-accessible Task & Contact Management System.
This meant the client would then have to pick up messages and re-enter the message or update a task in a separate system.
"I realised it would be much more efficient if the client could simply use the same system as the Answering Service, with all the contact, company and task set up, building a seamless information centre for users," says Jackie.
Hired Help have utilised QBIS, one of the world’s most powerful Contact Management Systems to provide this service. Powered by IBM’s reliable database technology, QBIS can handle literally millions of contacts, tasks and projects.
From the outset, we decided that Hired Help was going top offer a level of service no other provider offered. Take a trial and you will see what we mean.
