Think you can't afford around the clock phone coverage? Think again. When you don't answer your phone, potential customers are apt to call your competition instead of waiting around and current customers get frustrated. But it doesn't have to be this way. For just under $5/day, PATLive will ensure that every phone call is answered promptly and handled correctly.
