He and his father were running the company and their technical person, or product specialist, was located in Los Angeles. The business itself was located in Seattle. He wanted a way for people to call to be able to press an extension which would ring to him, his father, or his technical person to make it seem like they were all in one place. This bow hunting supplier needs Auto Attendant![\/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>\u00a0I gave the caller the choice of toll free numbers to put on his web site. He ended up getting a very nice 855 Vanity Number, which we ordered for him for free! When people call, they have a choice to talk to him or his father for sales, or to get technical support. One extension rings the store, the other the owners\u2019 cell phones, and the technical extension rings the person in Los Angeles. Callers hear a professional <a title=\"Auto Attendant Features\" href=\"https:\/\/www.messagingservice.com\/features\/auto-attendant\/\"> auto attendant<\/a> with choices, and everything seems as though it\u2019s under one roof.\u2019[\/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> The toll free number and VoIP auto attendant worked out perfectly for the bow hunting store. Whenever the \u2018tech guy\u2019 goes on vacation he simply uses AccessDirect\u2019s online web interface and changes the find-me number to his back up person. Someone always answers the store during normal business hours, and the owners can take calls from wherever they are. We think this will be the start of a bow-hunting brick and mortar franchise, and we\u2019re glad that AccessDirect had a hand in the success of the online web site and the store itself![\/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>Supplier Needs Auto Attendant to Keep Up Challenge: A customer from Washington State called and said that he had an online hunting store, specializing in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_pvb_checkbox_block_on_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[156,160],"tags":[37,170],"class_list":["post-20527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-studies","category-direct-receptionist","tag-auto-attendant","tag-hunting-supplier","category-156","category-160","description-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hunting Supplier Uses AccessDirect&#039;s VoIP Auto Attendant<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A hunting store wanted for people to call and press an extension to find a particular person to help them.
