Lawyers reduce costs and improve efficiencies with a live telephone answering service
The demands of client meetings, court preparation time and physical presence, means that the busy lawyer is often away from the office for most of the week. Having a live receptionist to answer and manage incoming phone calls is imperative, but the cost of retaining a full-time person often outweighs the benefits.
“Because we spend much of our time in court and are generally out of the office, it was decided that the best way to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency was to get rid of our rented office space and permanent office staff. Our previous setup wasn’t effectively utilised and therefore wasn’t cost-effective. Once we moved to a Virtual Office solution, which included a live telephone answering service, we were able to save a lot of money and reduce the stresses of people management allowing us to focus on our business. The Virtual Receptionist now gives me the confidence to know that wherever I am (in court or out and about) that a professional is answering the phone in a way that I’ve determined. We no longer miss any calls.” Director of a Sydney Legal Practice.
Just like a large firm or company, using a directory of numbers, we can transfer calls to one or a hundred different staff in your firm. Incoming calls for each staff member are managed exactly how you decide. There is no need for your practice to liaise with telephone companies because Virtual Headquarters will provide local numbers throughout the country for the exclusive use of your business.
For those firms with an existing business number, there is no need to change that number. Simply divert the phone to Virtual Headquarters at any time, even for an hour!
A Virtual Office or Serviced Office gives many additional benefits including access to a complete range of professional quality business services to support your lawyers. If you need to conduct meetings and have a place to work when traveling interstate or your lawyers need a local office for meetings, you can take advantage of the Virtual Headquarters national serviced office network. Rent a meeting room for an hour and have the serviced office staff meet and greet your clients as they arrive at any of your serviced office locations. Your clients will be completely satisfied. You can combine a local phone number with a Prestigious Mail Address on business cards, marketing documentation, website contact information and elsewhere to show that you have a national presence without the expense or hassle of physically establishing each new location.
Improve the professionalism of your legal practice and reduce costs by combining a Virtual Office with a professional live telephone answering service from Virtual Headquarters. You’ll be able to focus on the business of practicing law without losing valuable time and money through office management.
Should your practice need to expand regionally, you’ll be able to easily extend your services with a consistent corporate image by utilising a number of premium office locations in all major areas. With a Virtual Office, your legal practice can “establish” itself in a premium CBD location at a fraction of the cost associated with renting traditional office space. For example, you may currently have an existing legal practice based in Sydney, when a major client hires you as their national legal representative. It wouldn’t be economically feasible for you to establish new practice locations in the CBD of each major city just for one client, however you will be required to have a local presence for meetings, mail and otherwise. With Virtual Headquarters you can establish your own Virtual Office with a local telephone number and a Prestigious Mail Address including Virtual Offices Sydney (and metropolitan locations such asBondi Junction, Caringbah, Chatswood, Crows Nest, Hurstville, Lane Cove, McMahons Point, Mosman, Neutral Bay, Newtown, Parramatta, Pyrmont, Surry Hills), Virtual Offices North Sydney, Virtual Offices Melbourne (and metropolitan locations such asBendigo, Camberwell, Carlton, Dandenong, Elsternwick, Glen Waverley, Greensborough, Kew, Malvern, Richmond, South Yarra), Virtual Offices Brisbane (and metropolitan locations such as Fortitude Valley, Loganholme, Milton, Morayfield, Stones Corner, Toowong),Maroochydore, Canberra, Southport, Virtual Offices Gold Coast (and locations such asBroadbeach, Elanora, Robina), Virtual Offices Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Virtual Offices Gosford and elsewhere across the country.
Later you may require more permanent office space in one or more locations around Australia, so you could consider a Serviced Office. With Virtual Headquarters you can have your own local phone number (or divert an existing number to Virtual Headquarters), Prestigious Mail Address and physical office including Serviced Office Sydney, Serviced Office North Sydney, Serviced Office Melbourne, Serviced Office Brisbane, Serviced Office Canberra, Serviced Offices Gold Coast,Southport, Serviced Offices Darwin, Serviced Offices Adelaide, Serviced Offices Perth or Serviced Offices “anywhere” around the country. |
