After Hours Phone Answering Service
Never miss another call. Keep your business accessible to customers 24/7 with Dialzara's AI-powered phone answering service.
🤔 Why do I need a phone answering service for my business?
Did you know that 60% of consumers call local businesses after searching online?
But 62% of these calls go unanswered, and only 20% of callers bother to leave a voicemail - representing a massive amount of lost opportunity for business owners.
What's the best solution for phone answering services?
Traditional receptionists vs. AI receptionists
Option 1: Hire in-house staff
A full time secretary receiving $15/hour would cost $2,400 a month plus taxes and benefits.
For a small, one-person company (which is 52% of businesses in the US) this just isn't practical.
A family member could take over the secretary role, but this still might not be enough to handle every call, not to mention calls that come in after hours.
Option 2: Outsource to a live answering service
Hiring a virtual secretary for live phone answering services can seem more affordable for most small businesses.
Live phone answering services are usually billed as a flat monthly subscription plus per minute or per call charges.
However, those per minute and per call charges can quickly rack up - we've seen monthly bills for live answering services as high as $3,700.
Option 3: Use Dialzara AI receptionist
An AI receptionist is a new kind of technology that lets you train and customize your own AI phone answering service.
By providing the AI receptionist with the same information you would provide a human, it's possible to customize a highly trained AI phone receptionist.
Even if you've never used AI before, Dialzara's easy setup means that you can have a highly-trained AI virtual receptionist that can answer calls 24/7 and integrate with your existing systems.

What is the cost difference between live phone answering service and AI phone answering service?
Live answering services

This means the cost for just 100 minutes of call time per month would be $360 - $660 for a live phone answering service. Even worse, some live answering services require a long term commitment.
