Order Taking & Order Entry

Our Customer Service Professionals are available 24/7/365. They’re ready to take your customers’ calls and ready to assist those callers with placing their orders.

How Can 24/7 Order Entry Services Help Business?

Whether you have a single product or large e-commerce web site, our Customer Service Professionals (CSPs) can handle your order entries in an efficient and professional manner. Speed and accuracy are the most important part of order entry and our CSPs are tested and trained to meet high standards.

  • Expand Your Available Hours

    Our Customer Service Professionals (CSPs) are available 24/7, and we can answer calls, chats and emails at any time of the day or night. Best of all, you only pay based on the minutes that we spend working in your account and taking your orders – you don’t have to worry about high hourly fees or other costs. You pay for the services you use, and not a penny more.

    By expanding your available hours, you can make things much more convenient for your customers who may be located in different time zones, or even internationally – and who may typically have difficulties placing their orders within your typical business hours.

  • Augment or Replace Your Existing Order Taking Staff

    If you already have several order entry specialists, but you want to avoid hiring more staff for your small business, 24/7 order entry services from AnswerFirst can help you pick up the slack. We can answer calls, chats and emails when your staff members are busy, and after business hours, when they’re off the clock.

    We can also replace your current staff members, or, if you run a small business and handle order taking yourself, we can ensure that you are able to focus on the important parts of running your business – while we input your orders, and handle administrative work.

  • Improve Customer Satisfaction

    By connecting your customers with a friendly, reliable customer service representative and allowing them to help your customers and place orders at any time of day or night, AnswerFirst helps enhance customer satisfaction, and build more brand loyalty.

AnswerFirst Google Reviews

“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.”

Steven Kollander

“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.”

We Have Hundreds Of 5 Star Reviews

“From the first day we starting using Answer First everyone was friendly and helpful. They picked up all of our calls when we could not and treated our clients with the same care and respect the rest of our staff does. I would definitely recommend this company and Teri Leggett was superb in getting us all taken care of.
Thank you.”

Crystal C.

“I have been a client since April 2021. My calls have been answered professionally and my callers have told me they like my “new receptionist”. Most don’t realize it’s an answering service! Also, I’ve only had a couple of support issues during these months and they were handled quickly, fully and with courtesy.”

Albert B.

“AnswerFirst has been very helpful for our property management company. Their reports in the morning are clear and concise and our tenants appreciate being able to speak with a person any time of day. Our business development specialist, Teri, made set up quick and easy. We highly recommend their service.”

Andrew N.

“We’ve dealt with a number of vendors providing various services, and my experiences with getting set up with AnswerFirst was great. My rep with their company was Teri Leggett, and she was very responsive, as far as helping with my questions, and guiding me through the setup process. It has been an easy process, versus a couple of other similar type companies that I’ve worked with in the past (which is why I’m now with AnswerFirst).”

Chris N.

“Professional. Accessible. Almost immediate return of our calls. Client messages are streamlined and winnowed, which is exceedingly helpful. Prices up-front and over-runs are discussed in detail and ahead of time, with a chance to amend plans if requested. Very satisfied, and our office has gone through at least half a dozen answering services.”

Paul C.

“I’ve been using Answer First for my answering service for nearly 10 years and have never had a single complaint. Their staff is always professional and forward the proper information to my “on-call” tech in a very timely manner. I would very definitely recommend Answer First to anyone that is looking for their type of service.”

Dan L.

“I have been using AnswerFirst for years. They have been a an amazing help for incoming communications across multiple businesses. I have recommended them to others that have had 5 star experiences every time. It is rare to find a company that continues to improve year after year in their service and customer support. I whole heartedly recommend them.”

John C.

“They are consistently professional and I often get clients who remark on how well “my staff” handled their contact with our office. The extended features to review calls are very helpful, as well as knowing the phone number of where the call came from, rather than just the phone number the client left, providing another way to call the client back.”

David L.

“After having dealt with for prior answering service companies, it was a pleasure working with this team through our transition. AnswerFirst accommodated our needs precisely and worked with us to make sure that we got what we wanted. The onboarding process was also very organized and methodical. So far our daily experiences with the company are very good, and we have found the operators to be very professional and friendly sounding. So far very happy customer!”
