Virtual receptionist

[JimClark]

Anyone used a virtual receptionist to take calls / messages. Had quotes in from a couple of companies, circa £30 a month, is this the going rate?

Have not used but know the service comes in from about a fiver a week for the most basic function - taking calls.

£30 sounds like the going rate. I am going to have to look for a virtual receptionist for my wife's business so please let me know how this goes.

does this job only for UK residents? or could be also for international member or form other countries? could be a good homebased opportunity.

I think if you don't have an English accent you will get less money, and even less if you are not a native speaker of English, but yes it is mostly done by offshoring.

You need to make sure that the best person for you business meets the needs of the business. And would be able to handle what it is you are offering. I think that it is a great way to help those people who are having a hard time getting work. But I do agree that if you are not of native language for that company it would pay less money.
