6 4 How long do your staff take to answer the phone? Unless you have a 3-ring policy in place, how do you know every call is being answered efficiently? Our reports show you average call answering times and how many customers ring off if the call is not answered quickly. You can even add a short intro message that kicks in after 1 ring e.g. Thank you for calling ABC cars, your call will be answered shortly this way your customers know they have the right company and will be more willing to wait for the call to be answered. 5
