Since first impressions count, our aim is to turn the client into a fan.
Whether you run a multi-national corporation or a small business, your success hinges on how your operation is perceived, and it's often beyond your control. The impression your staff give at the first point of contact is a vital reflection on the way you do business, and typically one of the most under-rated sources of advertising.
You may spend a fortune on marketing, yet the way you announce yourself to the world is right there at the reception. How well does it represent you? How do you want your business to be seen and perceived?

Training manual sample
Below are some extracts from our Customer Care for the Receptionist manual.
The receptionist plays a multifaceted and
pivotal role in the smooth functioning and success of a company. Their
contributions encompass customer service, security, communication, and maintain
the company’s image and culture.
This wide range of responsibilities and their
high impact is why the receptionist is often considered one of the most
important people in the company.
Here are just some reasons why the
receptionist should be viewed in high regard;
First Point of Contact
·
First Impressions: The receptionist is often the
first person that visitors, clients, and customers encounter when they visit or
contact the company. This first interaction can set the tone for the entire
relationship with the company.
·
Professionalism: A professional, friendly, and
efficient receptionist can create a positive image of the company, while a
negative interaction can have the opposite effect.
Gatekeeping and Security
·
Access Control: The receptionist controls access
to the building and its offices, ensuring that only authorised individuals
enter, thereby contributing to the security of the workplace.
·
Screening Calls and Visitors: They screen calls
and visitors, directing them to the appropriate departments or individuals,
which helps in maintaining the organisation’s security and efficiency.
Crisis Management
·
Handling Emergencies: Receptionists are often
the first to respond to emergencies or unexpected situations, such as medical
incidents, security breaches, or technical problems. Their ability to stay calm
and take appropriate action is vital.
·
Problem Solving: They are skilled in handling
unexpected challenges and resolving issues quickly, ensuring minimal disruption
to the workplace.
Information Hub
·
Knowledge Base: Receptionists have extensive
knowledge about the company, including its people, departments, and processes.
They can provide information and assistance quickly and accurately.
·
Communication Link: They act as a communication
hub, relaying messages, and information between employees, departments, and
external contacts.
Customer Service
·
Client Relationships: Receptionists play a
crucial role in managing client relationships. Their ability to handle
inquiries, solve problems, and provide excellent service directly impacts
customer satisfaction and loyalty.
·
Conflict Resolution: They often deal with
complaints or difficult situations, requiring them to have strong
problem-solving and interpersonal skills to maintain a positive image of the
company.
