Using a Receptionist or Operator
If you have a full-time receptionist who answers the phone, you will want to specify
the Receptionist Plan in Administrator.
Even when using the Automated Receptionist plan, it is important to choose an
operator. The operator is the person calls will be forwarded to when callers want to
speak to a person, or when Response Point has trouble understanding a request.
Using the Receptionist Plan
The Receptionist Plan is useful for your office if you want a person to answer calls
and transfer them accordingly.
