Anyone can pick up a phone. How we answer your calls is completely unique.

How we know the call is for you

The moment a call comes through, your company information presents automatically to your PA here at Moneypenny. We'll work with you to create an AI KnowledgeBase for your business, returning key information in real time so your PA can talk as confidently and knowledgeably as any member of your in-house team.

We can tell if they’ve called before

If the person ringing has called before, our AI technology tells your PA their name (so there’s no need to ask again), who they asked for and why. Similarly, if you have VIPs who you want treated differently, or for less valuable calls to ring out, just let us know.

We’re able to have a free-flowing conversation

Not working to rigid scripts means your PA can use their knowledge and experience to have warm and informed conversations with your callers. That’s how we know we’ve done our job perfectly - when callers assume they’re speaking to someone in your team.

We know your team’s real-time availability

Unlike other telephone answering providers who can only support a limited number of basic diaries, e.g. new enquiry line, your PA has access to live availability, call transfer and messaging preferences for each of your team members. Changes can be made at any time via our app, portal, or even reading your Microsoft Teams status if available.

We carry out the necessary steps to complete the call

Need your PA to qualify leads, book appointments or take payments? No problem. Unlike a traditional receptionist, we can also transfer calls to you in-office or at home e.g. via Microsoft Teams. And when it comes to message taking, our AI-powered MessageMaker tool drafts summaries during the call, so we can send them via email or text (you choose) to you instantly and even tie your marketing activity to every new enquiry.

Brilliant people representing your business

Rigorous recruitment and training ensures our people all know how to deliver an outstanding Telephone Answering Service. PAs work in teams of five, so if yours is already assisting another caller, someone who knows your business is always ready to help.
