New York, NY --
Message Plus Answering Service has announced a new sales training program to
keep up with the various changes in technology and features that are
abundant in the answering service industry. Messages Plus President, Cecile
Williams, stated that new features are being offered on a weekly basis,
which makes knowledge of the products and services an ongoing necessity for
her sales staff. “With all of the different options available, the sales
staff needs to educate, and I emphasize the word educate, the consumer”,
Williams said.

The answering service has many available options that can vary based on
the end users needs and capabilities. There is even a difference in message
delivery methods based on which cell phones clients use. Clients who use the
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 have different options for message delivery than
those using the Samsung Instinct, LG Vu, or the BlackJack 2 with Windows
Mobile 6. Message delivery methods can vary greatly between an LG enV2,
Motorola Z9, Motorola V950, the BlackBerry Curv, or an Apple iPhone. Keeping
ahead of the technological curve is the secret in helping to best utilize
all of the available technology in customer communication between the
answering service and the client.
Most consumers do not utilize the technology available on most cell
phones and PDA’s. The same can be said for most call centers and answering
services. By not knowing how to use these features, the answering service is
often not delivering the features that can help run a business more
efficiently. In fact, often times the answering service may be taking extra
steps and adding additional unnecessary costs to the end user.
“We are always trying to offer the best service to our customer’s at the
most affordable price. If we aren’t using our technology to its fullest,
then we are hurting our customers by charging them extra for our
inadequacies as a viable answering service. Eliminating a step in the
messaging process can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings each
year depending on the clients call volume,” said Cecile Williams, president
of Messages Plus Answering Service.
As part of a requirement and focus on using technology to its fullest,
the Message Plus technology department not only follows the latest trends in
cellular phone technology, but also understands and examines the user manual
for each device. Any features of any significance are then tested to see if
additional features can be integrated into the Messages Plus answering
service format. At which point the features are then offered to existing
clientele who may utilize that particular cell phone or PDA. Lastly, the
sales staff is briefed and copied on the features unique to each cell phone,
making their job easier and the potential customer’s experience enhanced.
While the answering service and call center industry changes, Messages
Plus has been able to adapt to these changes while keeping the core focus on
good old fashioned customer service. The marriage between staying on the
edge of technology coupled with that of hiring and training the best
possible candidates is what keeps Messages Plus the leader in answering
service and call center services in the United States. About Us - Messages
