During the COVID-19 Pandemic, businesses need to have disaster preparedness ready, anticipated high volume of calls and business continuity. Yes, there are many obstacles to overcome. Luckily, Ansafone Contact Centers is here to help you handle all of your inbound and outbound calls by utilizing our US-based and technologically advanced call centers.
Outsourcing your calls to Ansafone removes the stress of handling calls directly in your office. This frees up your staff to focus on other tasks. This can be especially important if your staffing is cut short due to social distancing concerns or illness. Our agents handle your call regardless of volume or difficulty so that you don’t have to worry about covering your phones.
Help Eliminate Staffing Concerns with Disaster Preparedness
During this pandemic, one of the most difficult aspects of running a business is staffing issues. Sick and quarantined staff members can cause unsuspected staff absences, which increases the workload on other employees. The added stress of less staff and having to cover calls, which may or may not be part of their daily tasks, can negatively affect productivity and satisfaction.
Another aspect is reducing the number of staff in the office to reduce the risk of contamination and abide by social distancing guidelines. By lowering the number of employees that are coming into the office, you can help keep you and your staff safer.
At Ansafone, we also understand the need to keep our employees safe and are conscious of the health and safety of our agents. Ansafone utilizes Work-at-Home Staffing, which allows our agents to take calls in the safety of their own homes. Our call centers have the technology to allow the agents to work remotely with the same quality and effectiveness as if they were in the call center.
Ansafone can take the initial call and determine who amongst your team the call needs to be routed to and connect them seamlessly. This is a great option to allow staff to work from home and still take calls coming into the office.
At Ansafone Contact Centers, we have the ability to scale up and down to meet any call volume at any time of the day. We have the available agents to provide coverage regardless of the situation, and we have multiple call centers in the US, which provide us even more flexibility to ensure coverage. The additional staff and coverage flexibility falls on Ansafone, meaning you don’t have to concern yourself with the worry about adequate staffing to cover calls.
Disaster Preparedness Outsource Your Calls
After you decide to outsource to Ansafone Contact Centers, you will choose the plan and services that work best for your company. You will then work with our staff to customize the call scripts that our operators will use when handling your calls. This customization allows you to control how your customers are treated on each call.
Another important step is deciding what services are best for your company. Ansafone offers many services, each providing a different level of service or intended to address a specific need. Some examples are:
24/7 Services: Our operators are available to take calls all day – every day, including holidays. We can handle scheduling, routine calls, and emergency assistance. Our agents are also trained to document every call in detail, so you always know what is going on with your customers.

Overflow: Even if your business has multiple staff taking calls, there may be times when there are too many calls coming in at once. Ansafone can take overflow calls to make sure no call goes unanswered. Your customers will never know they are not talking to your office directly.
After-Hours Answering Service: When customers call after business hours, it could be an emergency. We can dispatch to your service partners to make sure your customers get the help they need.
