What is simultaneous call handling?
Simultaneous call handling is a phone system feature that allows you to manage multiple incoming calls at once. With simultaneous call handling, if you are on a call with a prospect or client at the time of another incoming call, the incoming call will continue to funnel through your call-tree instead to your next call forwarding number. Instead of multiple incoming calls being put on hold and hearing a busy signal the caller will hear the normal ringtone, so they stay on the line – and your team doesn’t miss their call.
What are the benefits of call handling software?
- Answer every customer call, even during instances of high call volume.
- Make your business sound more professional by removing busy signals altogether.
- Keep customers on the line so your team has the chance to pick up and help out.
- Answer incoming calls from wherever you or your team are working using our desktop and mobile apps.
