What It Is

Message Taking — Structured, Relayed, Searchable

Voicemail is the worst possible outcome for a business call. Our message taking service replaces voicemail with a real human who captures every detail accurately and relays it within 60 seconds — so you always know exactly who called and why, in a structured format you can act on immediately.

Our receptionists capture structured, detailed messages: full caller name, company, direct callback number, email address, reason for calling, urgency, preferred callback time and any additional information. Consistent, structured — not free-form voicemail notes.

Within 60 seconds, the complete message arrives as both SMS (key details for immediate awareness) and email (full structured message). All messages are stored in a searchable portal — every call, every detail, 12-month history. Find any message from any caller in seconds.

In 2026, with callback speed a major competitive differentiator, knowing within 60 seconds who called and why — rather than listening to voicemail recordings when convenient — can be the difference between winning and losing a client. Speed of response to enquiries is one of the most impactful factors in B2B lead conversion.

Who It’s For

Perfect for These Businesses & Situations

📋

High-Inbound Call Businesses

Solicitors, accountants, estate agents — need every message accurately captured and immediately relayed without listening to voicemails.

🏥

Professional Services

Medical, legal, financial — where accurate message capture is critical and a missed detail has consequences.

📱

Field-Based Professionals

Sales reps, surveyors, engineers — frequently on-site where listening to voicemail is impractical.

👥

Multi-Staff Message Distribution

Teams needing messages captured centrally and distributed to the right person — with full record.

Common Questions

Things People Ask — Before They Sign Up

What details do you capture from every caller?

Full name, company, callback number (confirmed for accuracy), email, reason for calling (detailed), urgency, preferred callback time and any specific message. Custom questions available.

Can I customise what information is captured?

Yes — new enquiries, existing clients, suppliers — each can have different capture requirements. Fully customisable bespoke scripts.

What if a caller won’t leave a message?

Logged as unanswered call — time, date, number if available. You know a call came in even without message details.

How is this different from voicemail?

Accuracy, structure, speed and human connection. A trained human captures precise details versus a caller self-recording in a hurry. Structured text versus audio. 60 seconds versus listening when convenient.

Can messages go to multiple team members?

Yes — simultaneous email to multiple addresses or routing by caller type to different team members.

Common Mistakes

4 Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Voicemail for time-sensitive businesses

Leads contacted within 5 minutes convert at 9x the rate of those contacted after 30 minutes. 60-second relay means you can respond within minutes of a caller enquiring.

❌ Not routing messages to the right people

Without clear routing rules, messages pile up in one inbox. Configure routing: new enquiries to sales, support to CS, financial to accounts — from day one.

❌ Not reviewing the message log regularly

Messages flagged ‘no callback made’ are your highest-value uncaptured leads — callers who enquired but never connected. Review daily.

❌ Receptionists without business context

Receptionists who don’t understand your business can’t take meaningful messages. Provide a comprehensive briefing and update it regularly.
