(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 20, 2009 ) Phoenix, AZ – In many areas of the country, winter weather brings business blues. Rain, snow storms, and ice buildup can all lead to power outages that force businesses to close. Snow on the roads can cause employees to stay home when it's too treacherous to drive. The cold weather can also bring waves of illness causing businesses to operate short-staffed. Answering service companies like AnswerNow! can help businesses overcome these cold weather setbacks with virtual reception services.

“Whether a handful of employees can't get to work on a snow day or an entire office has to shut down due to a weather-related power outage, an answering service or virtual reception company can make sure the business keeps on operating," said AnswerNow! President Margo Soll Weiss. “That's the benefit of working with an answering service located elsewhere in the country, like our Phoenix answering service, where your virtual receptionists won't be afflicted with the same winter weather troubles. Someone can always be on call to take orders and assist customers, no matter what Mother Nature has in store for a business locally."

Answering services and virtual reception services from AnswerNow! are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether companies simply need to cover increased call volume during the holiday shopping season or need backup coverage in case of cold weather emergencies, AnswerNow! can offer a custom answering service solution to meet their needs.

"It's not only important to think about how winter weather can affect a company's full-time employees," said Weiss. "Many businesses probably assume they're going to be covered because they already work with a local answering service or virtual receptionist. However, if the local weather is going to affect their business, it could also affect their answering service. Their backup call center reps might also not be able to get to work in the snow and ice for example. The worse they expect their winter weather to be, the more important it becomes to work with virtual reception services from outside of their area where the same weather conditions won't occur. It's about making sure someone will always be there for customers."
