How Our Phone Answering Services Work

Getting Started with PATLive Is Easy as 1 - 2 - 3

Getting up and running with PATLive is fast and easy. In most cases, we can begin answering calls for your business in as little as 24 hours.

Configure Your Script

When you start service, we'll help you setup a "call script" to provide our agents with detailed instructions on how to handle your calls.

We Start Answering Your Phone Calls

Once your script goes live, our team of over 150 agents is ready to begin acting as a seamless extension of your business around the clock.

You Begin Receiving Call Summaries

After each call (or daily if you prefer), we'll send you the message, lead or confirmation relevant to the action we performed on the call.

You Have Complete Control From "Hello" to "Goodbye"

With the most flexible call scripting software in the industry, you're in complete control. Have our agents do as little or as much as you prefer, and rest easy knowing that you have PATLive's award-winning team of virtual receptionists representing your business like it was our own - every time the phone rings.

How Do I Get My Calls to PATLive?

It's easy to get your calls to PATLive. We provide a new phone number with all our plans. You can either advertise this number directly, or if you already have a number that you want to use, you can forward it to your PATLive number one of three ways:

Forward your calls to PATLive all the time
Forward your calls to PATLive as needed
Forward your calls on a ring-no-answer basis (calls will automatically rollover to PATLive if you don't answer after 3 rings)
