Many companies are making the mistake of compromising the quality of their customer service experiences, by heavily relying on AI – Artificial Intelligence. Nearly four in five people would rather speak to a real person rather than a bot. So, how do you ensure that your customers and prospects always speak with a real person, while maintaining a busy lifestyle as a franchise owner? The solution: a live call answering service, powered by real people.
Here are just six reasons why thousands of franchise businesses across the country work with live answering services to capture more leads and win more business.
- Your customers can reach you around-the-clock
