Frequently Asked Questions

 

 
 

How does Successful Office.com's answering and office services differ from the typical answering service?

1.. We do not charge a set-up fee, most answering services do.

2. We are actually less expensive than half of the average answering services out there, with so much more included. Most services charge between $50-$120 per month and then $.75-$1.50 per minute. For our Basic Solution with 200 minutes you will find that 50% of answering services are far more expensive than our $230.00 fee. Also as the old saying goes - you get what you pay for. The quality of your new staff is untouchable compared to any answering service.

3. Rather than having your calls go to "the floor" like at an answering service, we will assign a team of reps to your account. You, your callers, and your customers will get to know your new "staff". This adds a personalized touch and increases the credibility of your business. Remember - we are your company and will never say that we are a service.

4. An answering service will not allow you to use their address as your own. With any of the member organizations of Successful Office, you have the use of addresses in New York and Florida, making your company appear much larger than it is. Image is everything!!! (More offices to come soon)

5. We answer 98% of our calls before the third ring. Call an answering service or call center and see how long it takes for them to answer.

6. Our employees are all trained in sales. Your new  team of employees will learn your company's products and services. They can take orders, give basic company/product/service information, take application information, book seminars or appointments, and qualify any inquiries to allow you to close the sale with ease. Obviously, you will not get those features with an answering service.

7.  From  8:30am - 12:00 Midnight Monday-Friday, and 10:00am- 3:00pm on Saturday (Eastern Standard Time). you will have your dedicated well paid staff to answer your calls and run your business. After these 'normal' business hours your calls will can be transferred to any number of your choice. Also included in your service is a voicemail box personalized for your company and accessible 24/7/365, and a toll free number to check your messages. 

Our normal operating hours reflects the nature of most businesses and we believe that 99.9% of callers call during these hours. How many companies do you know that are staffed at 4:00 am?  If someone answers the phone at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, you can be sure that it is an answering service and your callers know that.

8. We will perform Human Resources services, where an answering service will not. If a caller wishes to verify an employee's salary or work history, we will handle the call to your satisfaction. When someone calls requesting HR services, we will transfer the call to another rep (your HR Dept.) who will supply the caller with the requested information. We log the name, company, and number of the caller and then supply the information you've given us to the caller. Successful Office and it's member organizations are not responsible for the accuracy of any information you provide us.

9. We appreciate your business and referrals. For every person that you refer to any of Successful Office's  member organizations you can earn a free month of service (the $230.00 fee is waived for Basic service).  See Referral Program for details.

Call us NOW at 800-716-5518 to discuss the many options available


How often is my mail forwarded?
You may choose the intervals in which we send your mail to you. Mail can be forwarded daily, weekly, or monthly to an address specified by you. You may, at any time, change the intervals and/or address that your mail forwarded to.

Can we send you items to mail out for us from your address?
Of course. In the industry this is called re-mailing and it is included in our Basic Office Service. No one will ever know that you do not have a physical presence at our offices.

If I cancel within the first week, will I receive a full refund?
Yes, if you cancel within the first week of your first month of service you will receive a full refund. We offer this to all new clients in order to give us a test run. We believe you will immediately see the difference between your new professional staff here at Successful Office and a typical answering service. Click here to see how you can get our services for free.

Do you service international clients?
Yes, we have many clients that are foreign nationals, US citizens working overseas, and overseas business-people. We provide them with an office presence in the United States and open up the huge American market for their services or products.

How exactly does mail forwarding work?
As your mail arrives it is put into an unmarked envelope (only a return address is on it) and mailed to its final destination. You can then process the mail.

Can you notify me of mail by e-mail?
Yes. Upon request we will send you an email notification of received mail. We can also
scan any important correspondence and email it to you upon request - but we do charge for excessive scanning.

Can I use an address different from the one I initially provide you with?
Yes, you may notify us if you would like your mail to go to an address different from the one you registered with. You may change the forwarding address at any time.

What if I hire or fire employees from my company?
Successful Office will grow with you. Upon enrollment you will be able to supply us with an initial file of employee names, dates of employment, salaries, etc. When your staff changes, simply notify your account executive to update your file. If a past or present employee needs salary or work history verification, we will supply the caller with the necessary information. This will free you up from frivolous distractions, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

These prices are available for the Basic Office Service. Any minutes used over 200 will be billed monthly at a rate of 1.25 cents per minute at 6 second increments.  Please call 800-716-5518 for discount prices for our Administrative and Executive Services.
