As entrepreneurs and small business owners there always seems to be something that needs our immediate attention. In times when we are assisting other clients we might miss a call or two, here or there. Maybe more than we like. But what happens when the call is from a client that needs immediate assistance? Give your callers the opportunity to reach a live person with YouMail’s call routing, just in case you are tied up at the moment.
With YouMail’s Call Routing you can include extensions in your voicemail greeting so callers can connect to a live person at a click of a button. For instance, callers can press ‘0’ to reach sales or a department that makes sense for you, or press ‘1’ to reach an assistant or teammate. YouMail provides different options of extensions you can choose from or record your greeting and extensions in your own voice to add a personal touch. Have more than one department you want callers to have access to? No problem. With this feature you can select up to 9 extensions. Customize your greeting the way you want it and what makes sense for your business.
