Virtual reception service in Kenya

Answer authorized business calls using an approved script and escalation plan.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional reception trial REC-61 covers 09:00–12:00 for five weekdays for one furniture repair office, fifteen coverage hours. The receptionist uses an approved greeting, records callbacks and transfers calls only to named staff. Sample script: 'Good morning, [business]. I can take your name, callback number and a short description of the furniture enquiry. [Name] confirms repair suitability and prices. May I pass this message to them?' Output is a daily private message log and unresolved-callback handover. Repair advice, prices, binding bookings, payments and call recording are excluded.

Who is the first customer?

Small professional offices without full-time reception coverage.
