No matter the industry – timely customer service and response is paramount to ensuring your continued success and maintaining your company’s reputation.
Sometimes the only thing that sets a business apart from its competition is its reputation, and customer service is a crucial part of maintaining a positive one.
At AnswerFirst, we’re not HVAC technicians, tax accountants, or roofers. But we learned early on that we can excel when we focus on what we’re good at, and that’s providing amazing customer service experiences through convenient, streamlined 24/7 live answering and dispatching.

“I had been with another answering service for twenty years prior to signing up with you. They don’t even hold a candle to you. You are great.”
“We are very pleased with the service we have received. The entire team at Answer First has been delightful. We are a small business and do not have a full time weekend staff. This solution allows us to provide service to our clients and callers without the expense of having to staff the office on weekends.”
“AnswerFirst has been absolutely fantastic to work with! Professional, courteous, and very detail oriented. I’d highly recommend Aimee and her team!”
“We have been using AF for a few years now and we love working w/them. They customized our account to fit our special needs from day 1. They respond immediately to any issues and ALWAYS follow through to make sure we are happy w/our service. The staff is professional and we could not ask for better service.”

We’re experienced in handling service and dispatch protocols for all industries. Whether you’re an HVAC business with after-hours service call needs or a healthcare company who needs ER dispatching, we’ve got you covered.
With AnswerFirst, you can utilize and access any of your business communication channels for dispatching with our 24/7/365 live omni-channel support.
Having access to a variety of communication methods is a crucial aspect of customer support and service. Customers are no longer limited to placing phone calls in order to request an on-call technician. And, with AnswerFirst’s omni-channel support, customers can also use email, text, or reach out via social media and messenger chatbot.
No matter how customers choose to engage and request a service, we’re committed to not only answering their queries, but we’re also committed to providing consistent customer service across all communication channels, so our clients’ customers are never confused or frustrated by a lack of options or responses.
Outsourcing Your Dispatching Makes Sense
The majority of our clients come to us because like most successful businesses, they have far more work than they can handle, and not enough time or qualified personnel to get it done.
Using an in-house 24/7/365 call center to handle customer service and dispatch needs is very costly. Large, busy companies often have so many calls coming in, but not enough people, or qualified people, to answer those calls and field queries. When this happens, companies will often raise prices to compensate.
Outsourcing 24/7 dispatching results in streamlined and efficient processes, while reducing costs.

When You Can’t Focus On What You Do Best, Things Go Wrong
Perhaps you’ve run into these types of problems trying to run 24/7 customer service calls yourself:
- Other parts of your business suffer.
- It takes you much longer to resolve issues.
- The result isn’t very good.
The bottom line is, businesses risk alienating customers when they are unable to answer customers’ questions and resolve issues in a prompt, efficient manner.
Handling your own after-hours service calls means you either have to employ someone to work during non-business hours, or you have to hope that your employees answer professionally and promptly when they’re on call. Your business can suffer when you don’t have the right people for the right job.
But when you outsource dispatch, you’re prioritizing the parts of your business that are vital to maintaining your company’s reputation and improving your operating efficiency.
You probably already outsource plenty of crucial business components, features, and processes. Outsourcing your customer service calls and after-hours dispatch is the same as when you’d outsource for web development, copywriting, or accounting. By outsourcing, you’re taking back valuable hours in the day to work on and focus on what’s important to you, and what you’re good at.
Utilizing AnswerFirst’s 24/7 call center for dispatching is the best way to make sure that your clients get the service they need when they need it.
Customer service done the right way is one of the most powerful forces in today’s business world.

With AnswerFirst 24/7 live dispatching services, you don’t have to worry about your customer and business needs being shoved into a “one-size-fits-all” service and dispatch protocol. After all, your business is unique, and your customer service and dispatch protocols should reflect that.
