VoiceNation Announces Innovative Appointment Setting Feature

May 16, 2016 //  by admin

VoiceNation bg-logoVoiceNation, the industry leader in live answering and virtual receptionist services, has recently launched an innovative Appointment Setting feature for new and existing Call Center customers.

VoiceNation’s new feature is ideal for salons, spas, auto service centers and other businesses that schedule appointments for their customers. Now, VoiceNation’s call center clients can further increase their efficiency by having VoiceNation accept calls, take messages and set calendar appointments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

One-Stop-Shop Answering Service & Appointment Setting

VoiceNation’s developers have built a custom, user-friendly calendar application that gives live answering clients complete control over their system. Key features include 24/7 online access for calendar updates and instant notification to email/text for new appointments. Appointment Setting is easy to set up and manage right from the VoiceNation dashboard.

“Our trained operators efficiently handle the time-consuming but necessary task of scheduling appointments, thereby increasing billable hours and enabling business owners to concentrate on the provision of services,” explained Jay Reeder, VoiceNation CEO.

This exciting new feature helps eliminate the service provider’s anxiety over double-booking or missing appointments, or constantly being interrupted to schedule appointments. VoiceNation’s thoroughly trained operators capably handle appointment setting so business owners and their staff can focus on taking care of the customers in their office or store at that moment.

The Appointment Setting feature costs $9.95 a month, in addition to the monthly VoiceNation plan cost.

Reeder continued, “What differentiates VoiceNation’s Appointment Setting feature from competitors is that we offer a less expensive, superior one-stop solution that is directly tied into our answering service and not outsourced to third party providers.”

VoiceNation’s award-winning exhibit showcased their revolutionary open source answering service software, OpenAnswer.

“We are thrilled to receive the Best of Show award for our OpenAnswer exhibit. Our service offering is one of the most unique, with features that truly stand out and we believe that is what really captured the judges’ attention.  OpenAnswer can literally save a small Telephone Answering Service (TAS) owner thousands upon thousands of dollars. You can’t argue the value or innovative nature of something like that,”said Eric Schurke, Director of Operations at VoiceNation.

VoiceNation developed OpenAnswer to help evolve the industry away from the proprietary existing solutions that charge per seat and require binding contracts. OpenAnswer is intuitive, intelligent open source live answering software that provides the call center industry with a collaborative solution that is freely available to download, install, and modify. OpenAnswer is built on familiar open source technology like Asterisk, FreePBX, Apache, Linux, PF Sense, SIP and more.

Shurke was also a special guest speaker during Asterisk World, a part of ITEXPO, and sharedVoiceNation’s story of their use of Asterisk software to build OpenAnswer. In his presentation entitled “OpenAnswer: A Case Study on the Power of Open Source,” Schurke addressed TAS owners, non-profits, developers and others interested in an Open Source solution. He also shared the OpenAnswer early adopter success story of Georgia CALLS, a unique 501(c)3 non-profit helping high-risk, returning citizens make a successful transition from incarceration back into society as business entrepreneurs. Georgia CALLS has had overwhelming success utilizing OpenAnswer in their on-site call center, which is staffed by Georgia CALLS program participants.

Shurke added, “We were able to connect with many professionals from a wide variety of industries that could benefit from Live Answering Services or OpenAnswer – from small business owners needing live answering, to open source developers interested in OpenAnswer, and even other TAS owners who currently use other TAS software that costs six figures. This was an incredibly successful show for us.”

Dozens of families benefit from VoiceNation’s “Operation Give Back”

VoiceNation, the industry leader in live answering and virtual receptionist services, made the holidays brighter for 27 local families through their “Operation Give Back” outreach program.

Now in its fourth year, Operation Give Back is the name given to VoiceNation’s outreach effort to help ensure local children living in shelters and those in need of assistance receive gifts during the holiday season.

VoiceNation worked with Jackson County Family Connection in Jefferson and Georgia CALLS in Buford to provide holiday gifts for 65 children, ranging in age from three months to 17 years old. The gifts included BMX bicycles, arts and crafts, clothes, shoes and many different toys.

How it Works

VoiceNation receives referrals from agencies that are working with families in need. VoiceNation provided their employees with funds to purchase gifts along with Operation Give Back profile folders of the children in need, which include the child’s age, gender, holiday wish list and preferences, such as their favorite color, clothing size, favorite activities, and hobbies.

“Many participants in Georgia CALLS’ re-entry program are working hard to become CEOs of their own lives and to do better by their families, but are still in need of assistance. They are amazed at the outpouring of support from anonymous donors,” explained Mark Mobley, Executive Director of Georgia CALLS.

“Our Operation Give Back program has become a highly sought after volunteer initiative here at VoiceNation. As our staff learns about the children in need, they feel a connection to them and are incredibly enthusiastic about the gifts they purchase for them,” explained Jay Reeder, the company’s president. “Operation Give Back is a tremendous opportunity to support children and families in need within our community while spreading holiday cheer.”

VoiceNation’s Employee Volunteer Program provides ample opportunity for every staff member to volunteer and work towards a cause they feel passionate about on a local, national, or global scale.

Luau Party Boosts Spirits at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

VoiceNation Team

VoiceNation, the industry leader in live answering and virtual receptionist services, has made the hospital stays of dozens of youngsters at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Children’s), a little bit brighter.

May 19, VoiceNation hosted a Luau-themed party in “The Zone” (the dedicated play area) at  Children’s Scottish Rite hospital for 25 pediatric patients (of all ages) and their families. Everyone was adorned with leis and enjoyed games, prizes, crafts, gift bags and plenty of food.

“We wanted to show our support by providing a fun diversion for these brave, young patients. Most of the children in attendance were between six and 12 years old, and despite what they were going through, brought a lot of positive energy. There was a lot of excitement in the room,” said LeeAnna Channell of VoiceNation.

Through the Employee Volunteer Program at VoiceNation, Outreach Coordinator Amber Mooney coordinated the party with VoiceNation team members LeeAnna Channell, Emily Everett, Brian Martin, Caitlin Redd, Caitlin Blanton, Marie Owen, Dominique Newton and Caprece Scott.

The festive children’s activities included pineapple bowling, octopus ring toss, and shark attack corn hole. The children were also able to craft jellyfish to hang in their rooms and create their own lei necklaces.

“Despite everything they are going through, the kids still like to play, laugh and do crafts,” said VoiceNation’s Dominique Newton. “I feel that they really enjoyed the activities, and one little girl even mentioned that it felt good that people wanted to help them.”

“The VoiceNation team made a tremendous impact on more than 25 of our patients and their family members at Children’s. Because they hosted such a great patient event, kids who are going through what might be the most challenging time in their life had smiles on their faces,” said Michelle Bennett, Program Coordinator at Children’s.  “At Children’s, we know there is more to getting better than just seeing a doctor, which is why the generosity of companies like VoiceNation is so important to us. Thanks to VoiceNation for partnering with us in our mission to make kids better today and healthier tomorrow!”

VoiceNation’s Revolutionary Open Source Answering Service Software Set to Launch June 22nd

Jay Reeder, CEO
Jay Reeder, CEO

VoiceNation, the industry leader in live answering and virtual receptionist services, is set to launch their revolutionary OpenAnswer answering service software on June 22, 2015.

For the past 15 years, VoiceNation has been spearheading innovations in live answering and virtual phone solutions, helping call centers navigate the waters of “going open source”. With the upcoming release of OpenAnswer, the most intuitive, intelligent open source answering service software available, the call center industry will have a collaborative solution made freely available to the public.

OpenAnswer is based on cutting edge technology and open standards without the restrictions of binding contracts, so call center owners will now have complete control over their operation. This is the same state of the art software in use currently at VoiceNation’s live answering call center.

“Agent stations will no longer cost thousands of dollars to deploy. Nor will call center owners get tied into lengthy vendor contracts. With OpenAnswer, call center owners get the flexibility they need without the one size fits all proprietary software constraints. Nothing this groundbreaking has been done in the industry to date,” explained Jay Reeder, CEO, who was named one of “The 20 Highest Rated Telecom CEOs To Work For in 2014” by GetVoIP.com.

OpenAnswer is freely available to download, install, and modify. There are no licensing fees and call center owners get unlimited seats and scalability in their call center. Since it is open source, call center owners can share their code changes with the budding OpenAnswer community at VoiceNation.com/OpenAnswer.

Key Features

The OpenAnswer operator screen is completely browser based, using modern web technology. OpenAnswer is operating system independent and simply requires a properly configured Asterisk server and a modern browser for the agent station. Built-in reporting features in OpenQView, packaged with OpenAnswer, analyze call flow and allows for real-time call and queue monitoring. Highly customizable user interface allows for complex account setup with ease and minimal training time for agents. OpenAnswer integrates with Asterisk and FreePBX, code is well documented and there is a free support community.

“OpenAnswer software has exponentially increased operator efficiency, accuracy, and productivity more than we could have ever imagined,” said Eric Schurke, Director of Operations at VoiceNation.

“We evaluated every solution out there and couldn’t find one that met our needs, so we created it… and then decided to give it away to the world,” said Reeder.

VoiceNation’s “Operation Give Back” Makes Children’s Holiday Brighter

VoiceNation, the industry leader in live answering and virtual receptionist services, has made the holidays a bit brighter for dozens of local children.

“Operation Give Back” is the name given to VoiceNation’s outreach effort to help ensure local children living in shelters and those in need of assistance receive gifts this holiday season. The program is in its third consecutive year and a highly sought after volunteer initiative among VoiceNation employees.

VoiceNation president Jay Reeder explains, “It is not only an enormous privilege, but a responsibility to care for those less fortunate. Through Operation Give Back, we have the opportunity to show love and kindness to children in our local community while spreading holiday cheer and good fortunes to the families we’re able to help.”

Like years before, VoiceNation equipped its staff with Operation Give Back profile folders complete with the child’s name; gender; age; holiday wish list; preferences, such as their favorite color, clothing size, favorite activities, and hobbies; as well as funds to purchase the gifts. Between the detailed profile and hype surrounding this initiative, employees are personally drawn and connected to their child in need and purchase gifts with incredible enthusiasm and heart.

“December is a time for giving and as a company, we see the generosity of this initiative reflecting through the actions of our staff. Many go above and beyond to personally provide gifts for these children, who they have never met, but have touched their hearts in a unique and special way,” added Reeder.

VoiceNation donated gifts to Supporting Adoption & Foster Families Together (SAFFT) and Good News At Noon to support a total of 46 children ranging in age from one to 16 years old from 15 families.

“It means a great deal to the parents. They’re so amazed that anonymous donors would provide an avenue for a parent to give their kid Christmas with nothing in return,” said Ashley Anderson, Executive Director of SAFFT.

According to Hannah Parker, Children and Youth Director for Good News At Noon, “The kids are going to feel so special. Operation Give Back is an answer to our prayer for them.”

The gifts, which ranged from bicycles, books and toys to clothing, games and more, were delivered to SAFFT and Good News At Noon on December 17th.

A large part of VoiceNation’s company culture revolves around their Employee Volunteer Program, which encourages staff to give back and get involved by helping others.  Through the program, every staff member has an opportunity to volunteer and work towards a cause they feel passionate about, on a local, national, or global scale.
