Answering Services for Small Businesses
Our small business answering service helps you answer your calls live and deliver professional customer service on a budget.

Have Every Call Answered Live with Small Business Telephone Answering Services from CMS
Small businesses are busy places where resources are stretched thin. You are trying to get everything done on a budget. Employees often wear multiple hats. This can have a negative impact on customer service. With small business answering services from CMS, you can put your telephone answering and call center needs to rest for good.
Our 24 hour call center ensures that every call made to your business is handled by a live person. That means no more relying on voicemail, no more missing important phone calls, and no more multitasking as you and your team try to work and take phone calls at the same time.
Our flexible telephone answering services are built for small businesses. All of our solutions are 100% customizable. Whether you’re a small office looking for a virtual receptionist to take your calls during business hours; a 24/7 operation in need of customer service outsourcing; or a start-up in need of an answering service to handle appointment scheduling or e-commerce order entry, we can tailor a solution to fit your needs.
Make a great first impression and deliver professional customer service on a budget
First impressions matter. When someone calls your business, the quality of that interaction is vital to your success. That’s why it’s important to ensure every call is met by professional, courteous service. While staffing your own call center or hiring a dedicated receptionist to take your calls can be expensive, CMS makes it easy. Our small business solutions help you power-up your own phone operation at a fraction of in-house costs. With CMS, you only pay for the time we spend fielding your calls. Even if we’re on standby 24/7, you only pay us for the time we spend handling your calls.
Don’t miss business opportunities when your office is closed
Over 60% of after-hours calls generate significant revenue for various types of businesses and often require immediate attention. If that customer can’t reach your company live, he or she will call your competition. Our small business answering services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, allowing you to operate around the clock, even if your office is closed. With CMS taking your calls, you can take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.

Focus on your business
Running a small business requires your full attention. With CMS handling your live answering needs, you’ll have additional time to focus on what you do best. We handle your callers as our own, so you’ll never have to worry about the level of customer service being provided to your customers.
Don’t rely on voicemail
Did you know that voicemail could be costing your business money? A missed call could mean a missed opportunity to make a sale or assist an existing customer, which in turn affects your bottom line. Don’t rely on customers to leave a voicemail and expect them to wait for you to call them back the next day. Many customers and clients who call a business and don’t speak with a live person will simply move on to the next listing in the phone book.
CMS is here to help businesses like yours nurture sales leads and grow profits. Using our small business answering service will also help you keep up with that growth by allowing you to focus on tasks besides answering the phone.
Improve service while saving money
By employing CMS as your live answering service, you not only gain our customer service expertise, but also the large cost savings associated with outsourcing everyday business tasks. Paying the staff and equipment costs needed to manage an in-house call center is expensive. CMS call center agents, on the other hand, are only paid while taking calls on your behalf.
Take your business to the next level
While your competition sends callers to voicemail, our answering service for small businesses will provide you with agents to answer live every time. CMS is sure to set your business apart from the crowd. Whether you need someone to pick up the phone when you’re busy, or an around-the-clock customer service call center, CMS is sure to exceed the expectations of both you and your customers.
