Temporary overflow coverage
Our process is designed to support services like our live answering service, ensuring every call is handled according to your instructions from start to finish.
We’ll help you figure out the best setup based on your business hours, call volume, and staffing needs.
Live answering process: Every call is answered by a trained, professional receptionist located in the United States. We answer using your company name and approved greeting so callers feel they’ve reached your office directly.
Your callers speak with a real person—never an automated system or overseas call center.
MetroMessage is not a one-size-fits-all answering service. We work with you to create customized scripts, terminology, and call-handling rules that reflect how your business operates.
This may include:
Intake questions
Department or staff routing
Appointment screening
Emergency escalation rules
Industry-specific language
Multi-location or franchise routing
Our receptionists follow your instructions precisely, making sure that they are consistent and professional on every call.
During each call, our team gathers only the information you specify—nothing more, nothing less.
Common information collected includes:
Caller name and contact details
Reason for the call
Service or case type
Urgency level
Preferred callback time
Additional notes or instructions
Our goal is to provide you with clear, complete, and actionable messages.
Message delivery explained: Once the call is completed, your message is delivered immediately using your preferred method:
Text message (SMS)
Secure client portal
Multiple recipients, if needed
You can stay informed in real time without checking voicemail or unthinkingly returning missed calls.
For businesses that handle time-sensitive situations, MetroMessage supports structured escalation and dispatch protocols.
Urgent calls can be handled by:
Contacting on-call staff
Calling designated emergency numbers
Sending priority text or email alerts
Following multi-step escalation sequences
All emergency procedures are defined by you and reviewed regularly to ensure they’re accurate.
MetroMessage operates around the clock. Whether it’s during business hours, overnight, on weekends, or on holidays, your callers will always reach a professional receptionist.
This ensures:
No missed opportunities
No voicemail dead ends
A consistent, professional presence at all times
Your business evolves—and your call handling can grow with it.
You can update your scripts, schedules, routing rules, or contact preferences at any time. Our team applies changes quickly, so your call handling always shows what you need right now.
You’ll have access to a secure online portal where you can review:
Message history
Call timestamps
Caller details
Account information
This provides full visibility into your call activity without added administrative work.
