Alltel's Live Answering Christmas Promotion is Back

Melbourne, Australia â€" November 16, 2010 â€" 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.

The time of year when things can get a little crazy

This is the time of year when things can get a little crazy, and businesses are not always able to answer the phone every time it rings. Letting your calls go through to voicemail might not be the best option though.

Unanswered phones = 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!

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.

"You can redirect home, office, and mobile numbers to your live answering service, including 1300 and 1800 numbers. You can also select when you want the service to answer your calls, for example at certain times of the day or under conditions such as busy or no answer. Our Australian-based operators are professionally trained and well spoken, and help to maintain your business's professional image."
