Veta Virtual

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of several companies involved in buying, selling, and leasing real estate.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Veta Virtual, and what were your goals??

While we already have a receptionist, we found that we were still missing some calls - which can be very costly if they are prospective clients, and frustrating for existing clients.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Andy and Veta Virtual were recommended to me by a business connection. I had an exploratory call with Andy, after which he promptly sent me written answers (with materials) to some questions I had.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package, including any calling tools used.

Our setup is likely different than others', seeing as I know that Veta often will be the primary responder to all phone calls a company receives. I believe they have the ability to transfer live calls, which is not a feature we use. In our case, calls ring in our office twice, and if they are not answered by my staff, the call rolls over to Veta Virtual's staff to answer. Within a minute of Veta taking a call for us, we receive an email with the name of the Veta operator who took the call, the name and contact information of the caller, and a description of the caller's need.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

Andy is my direct contact at Veta Virtual, and he responds promptly to emails, and takes me calls, too!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the service?

I'm now comfortable that calls are not falling through the cracks, and existing clients have mentioned to me that they like that they never hit a voicemail system anymore.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They're very responsive.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

This has all been covered with my previous answers.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No, they're great.

We searched for virtual receptionist services online and narrowed down our options to 2 companies. After a month long trial with both Veta Virtual and the other competitor company, we found Veta Virtual's ability to personalize the customer/client experience much superior to its competitor. Veta Virtual keeps a record of all the callers and follows the set of questions and responses far superiorly to its competitor.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package, including any calling tools used.

They provide receptionist coverage 9 am to 7 pm EST and follow the mutually decided workflow with great consistency. They provide email notifications after attending to calls and also take the time to classify the calls, i.e. hot lead, requires answer, etc. so it is easily visible in the notification subject lines. Other than that, a client portal is also offered which allows to keep a track of the call log and billed minutes.

SOLUTION

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Veta Virtual Receptionist?

I hired Veta Virtual to handle my day-to-day client follow ups and appointment booking for new leads.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

First, it was the price. Veta Virtual was able to match a competitive offer plus more features. However, after using, I saw positive impacts and decided to sigh a contract for 1 more year.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

The company answered 80% of the new calls and booked meetings and new appointments. Their receptionists are well trained and provided excellent communication to existing and potential new clients.

With my old virtual receptionists, I found the problem of lack of passion and detail-to-attention. Things were getting missed out and I was not happy with that. With Veta, we had a step-by-step plan and process on how to answer calls properly. My engagement rate increased by 30% in just a month.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I was an engagement manager for a pro-bono consulting firm. We worked with clients who are non-profit or charity organizations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Veta Virtual Receptionist?

Our organization had taken on a few different clients and with several team members working remote in different time zones, we needed someone to help coordinate client meetings and team meetings.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

I had heard from colleagues about Vera Virtual and how easy it was to integrate them into their workflow, so I decided to try it out. They were so gracious with giving us a free trial and were so patient throughout the onboarding process. They were also so responsive with any troubleshooting. The service costs were very affordable.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

Veta Virtual helped us coordinate a central line where clients and team members could call in to schedule meetings. They helped us integrate a scheduling system using Google calendar into our workflow.

They were able to provide excellent and quality customer service that resolved my issues firsthand. I’m extremely satisfied with Veta Virtual. They also make the integration of their service very approachable with step-by-step guides.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

While all our meeting planning was done perfectly and with no problems, it seems that our calls were not handled by the same receptionists every time. Perhaps having dedicated receptionists to each account/project can be helpful, so that they are more aware of each client's needs and practices.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Director of Panchvati Supermarket, a leading Indo-Canadian Grocery store chain in Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Veta Virtual Receptionist?

Currently, with the vast amount of growth we are facing in our industry, the need for both HR services and a receptionist had become dire in coordinating calls and meetings between members of the management team for new projects and hires.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

We considered multiple HR service firms, their company structure, price points etc. Ultimately we selected Veta Virtual due to their hands on approach in catering a solution which was unique to our company requirements. Andy worked with us heavily throughout the planning phase, making sure every need was addressed in an effective manner.

We genuinely appreciated this relative to other firms we had sat down with who simply showcased cookie cutter solutions that did not 100% meet our requirements. Once the planning phase was complete, we setup a trial period during which we engaged heavily with Andy's team and ultimately arrived at the perfect solution for our needs. Veta Virtual truly showcased to us what it means to put customer first.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

The team at Veta virtual setup a receptionist to address calls amongst all members of the management team. In conjunction, they coordinated all interviews with new hires for the company and synced them with the google calendars for the team and provided notices for any changes immediately.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We had Andy and his assistant deal with us in the initial consultation phase after which we started the beta launch of the program wherein several other members of his team joined. These members ranged from project coordinators to the receptionists who would coordinate the calls and meetings.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

Overall, in the past few months, I have noticed a large uptick in management morale across the team which has consequently flowed down the company chain. Consequently, management is able to focus on higher priority tasks. With respect to new hires, we now have a more formal and robust hiring process through which we are ultimately able to hire staff more effectively.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective. We were able to call upon any member of their team to us assist us with almost immediate response times. The team has been very responsive and acts diligently in coordinating amongst themselves to get us what we need.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The attention to detail in determining what we actually need. Many companies with whom we met prior to Veta Virtual simply showcased to us a plethora of services for which we had no value for. They did not take the time to ascertain what would work for us and just showed us a large value quotation with fancy marketing packages. With Andy there were no gimmicks or extra unnecessary features offered. It was a clean and fair offering that served our purpose.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Having receptionists who are multilingual with respect to being able to speak Gujarati/Hindi to better communicate with some of our new hires.
