He said \u2018Unfortunately Europeans simply don\u2019t use voicemail, and it\u2019s frustrating.\u2019 He was calling Europe at all hours of the night trying to get his dealers to answer the phone live so he could explain what he needed for his clients. He had to have a way to allow clients call his main toll free number in the US and leave messages for his antique\/furniture dealers in Europe. He had specific people in Europe specialize in specific antiques and he wanted them to be able to check voicemail from his American callers who were interested in the specific items.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #203961;\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0AccessDirect set the customer up with a Direct Receptionist Package. His main greeting gave seven options of different types of antique furniture which customers could specifically choose, and leave their inquiry. The messages are then emailed to the European antique\/furniture shop in wav.file format so that the respective shops can receive the messages directly from the client who is interested in their merchandise. The shops in Europe then email the AccessDirect customer in the United States and let him know whether they have the particular piece of furniture in stock.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #203961;\"><strong>Results:<\/strong><\/span> This solution worked out perfectly for the customer\u2019s business. He had a way for his customers to leave voicemails directly with his dealers, and so the \u2018No European Voicemail\u2019 problem was solved. The dealers are much faster with their responses and the AccessDirect customer doesn\u2019t have to take messages and then call Europe at all odd hours to try to obtain pieces of furniture. $59.95 a month saved this AccessDirect customer hundreds of hours of time and effort, and made his business more efficient and profitable.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Direct Receptionist Package.
