    Since the end of July, our experience with Abbey Connect has been exceptional compared to our previous services. They have consistently demonstrated 100% professionalism and a personal, friendly approach with our clients and potential clients. The quality of their service is so high that some of our clients and potential clients even thought we had hired additional staff in our office due to the way Abbey Connect's team handles our calls. We highly recommend Abbey Connect for their outstanding service.

      Unethical company kept fraudulently charging my credit card after I have requested to cancel multiple times. They refunded the last charge and then I got billed again. My rep is Katherine ** and she seems to think that she has the right to not cancel my account just because she thinks she is entitled to try to talk me into staying with the company before she cancels my account. I logged into my account again and my account was still active after canceling two months prior and after having the last charge refunded and telling them to cancel my account multiple times. This is the last straw.

      I have also filed complaints with the BBB, Trust Pilot and the FTC. I am also filing a police report, reporting the fraud to the attorney general as well as filing a formal complaint on Katherine ** with the company. I do not recommend working with this unethical, criminal company that fraudulently charges your credit card without your consent after requesting to cancel multiple times.

      Dear Fred,

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and distress our internal billing error has caused you. We never want our customers to feel they are receiving service that is less than excellent. We have refunded you for the two months you were billed incorrectly, as well as an additional three months to compensate for the stress this billing error has caused.

      Once again, we deeply regret this oversight, as high-quality customer service is extremely important to us at Abby. We hope this resolution makes up for the time and energy you spent correcting this error and helps you feel whole again. We are grateful to have had you as a client.

      We decided to let go of our secretary, and we were having all of our clients call in and leave voicemails. We wanted a more personal experience so that they got a live person to speak to at every call. So we got Abby Connect's phone service. We had a little bit of trouble in the beginning with getting everyone on board. But things seem to be running smoothly now at this point. Abby did meetings with the team to reiterate what we had stated and then they did two refreshers to make sure that everyone was still on the same page.

      Abby's reps are always clear, always professional, and always articulate. So, they make us look good. We get compliments on our receptionist, which is hysterical. People don't know it's a service, they just think there's somebody sitting in our office, which is what we want. We're in the home care of business. We take care of older people in their homes. Older people are not really online savvy. They can all use a phone. Many of them don't hear well, so the person speaking to them has to be not loud, but clear and slow. I've never had a problem with any of our older people saying, "I didn't understand your person." So, that was great.

      Also, there have been no dropped calls. We get every single call that comes in because if their reps in doubt, they put it through. Sometimes they'll call me when they're not sure and I say, "Oh, put them through." I wanna get them off the phone and get to the other customers. So, that works really well. Abby is really amazing. Our business has increased. We're a small company and it's helped us grow. The team at Abby is great. While I'm in a call, and a call comes in and I'll miss it, I'll call back and say, "Ah, you know, I just missed it. Can you guys connect me with somebody or just give me a printout of it?" They're there right on it. They call whoever my person is right now, and they find it. So, nothing is ever dropped, nothing is ever lost. I don't have to stop what I'm doing because I'm on a different call. So, that's very helpful.

      Abby Connect has been a lifesaver. We have it set up for certain types of calls that goes to specific people. But some of those people are no longer here. So, all the calls are coming back to me. But we're using Abby for screening because there are times where we're short-staffed. I had eye surgery, we had someone quit and we had a tech cut his finger off. We can pause Abby for a while but it offers too much value. They're being very useful. There are times where I need to change something and I just shoot Alexandra and Christina, the reps at Abby, an email and they fix it. There were hiccups in the very beginning but there are hiccups in everything. Abby has helped in that they'll call and say they have so and so on the line and I’ll ask them to send it through. But whenever they call and it’s a solicitor, I tell them, "Voicemail." So, they've been amazing.

      We have them as a receptionist to answer calls when we are not in the office. We also have them take messages if we are on the phone and unable to get another call coming in. The first month or two, they were wonderful. Then, things started to slide in the sense that the messages they were sending to us had inaccurate information and misspellings. Other than that, we've had a couple of different account managers and their responses to any concerns have been wonderful. If there is ever an issue and we email about it, we get a response immediately, which is greatly appreciated.

They catch stuff and try to do damage control if they feel something didn't go quite right. They're good about calling and letting me know about a situation, if it was one of our clients that they don't think is gonna be so happy, but they tried everything they could, and they sent recordings. They're very proactive, as if our customers and clients are theirs, and get problems solved.

      Anything I inquired about, I've always been given an answer, and everything has always worked out smoothly. Even down to voicemail setups, transferring calls and the staff, everything has been working pretty good. We went from using them part-time to eliminating our phone person and just using Abby. I would absolutely recommend them. It's an all-in-one service, and they really try to provide excellent customer service. We don't have any complaints, and our attorneys are hard to please.

      We are an independent insurance agency, and we have a full time receptionist that also has other responsibilities. The goal is to have every call answered live by someone, and with only one person, that's difficult to do. We were having calls go to our IVR decision tree, and that wasn't the experience that we wanted, so we started looking for a virtual receptionist. I tried another company first, which was very disappointing in every way that matters, then I reached out to Abby as our second choice.

      Abby Connect is answering the phone with a specific script, which the company I used before didn't tell me this initially, but once we got onboarding with them, they said, “Oh, we don't use scripts. You can't tell us the way that you want the calls answered.” With Abby, not only are they answering the phone following the script that we gave, but also, they're fielding some calls to keep it from going to some of our back office folks by asking some questions and putting the information into an email and sending it to us. That willingness to work with us is saving our staff time, which allows them to be more profitable and productive. Abby is helping us grow our bottom line, because whatever we've asked them to do, they have done.

      The rep, Alexandra, has been great to work with, and the other thing that I really liked about Abby is the portal that not only do we have the ability to update with, “I'm going to be out this afternoon,” but also, their ability to store the script in the portal. To be able to go in, if I want to make a modification in the script, I just go to the portal and that's instantly pushed out to the team. We can change our packages and how many minutes we want. We can also look back at past history. They put a lot of tools into the portal that makes it very easy to manage the account with Abby. The only thing is every time I do a test call, I find that the receptionists are very consistent in the way that they answer the phone. They do follow the script. They do provide a great customer experience, and I’m very glad we found them. I’ve recommended them to a couple of agencies.

      The reps answered all my questions. I wanted more than an answering service and I wanted people to think they're receptionists. People call up and then I can't contact with them, I call them back and they'd tell me, “Oh, your receptionist said…” That's what I like about them. They act like a receptionist, not like an answering service. Abby Connect did everything that they promised and maybe a little bit more. If you just need somebody to answer the phone or take a message, maybe there's somebody cheaper. But if you wanted to sound really professional and you want a receptionist-type service, Abby is very relevant. I would recommend them.

They're highly-trained and professional in the way they answer the phones and deal with clients. I was really happy with the crew that tends to get our calls. They're very sharp folks and I can't complain about that at all. It's been a really good experience working with them. They're a really good company to deal with and we've been very pleased. I would certainly recommend Abby Connect to anyone who needs the type of services that they have to offer.

      We use Abby Connect for the call answering and voicemail. ​It's been great. It's been really helpful in terms of answering everything and just being able to field calls when I don't have time or I'm not able to answer. The other thing too is, I've noticed that they've really tried to learn the business. They have taken the time to go on the website and learn some answers to some basic questions that they get a lot.

      They've been great. They're very upfront with me if they think it's somebody that I don't want to talk to. I’m the only person that they talk to. I field all of the calls. It saves a lot of time for everybody. I'm not having to answer cold calls I don't really understand, don't necessarily know. I'm able to focus on what I want to do, and know that the customer is not going to feel like they're being neglected because I've somebody answering the phone.

      Working with them, they were very professional and thorough. They've been handling the inbound calls and getting them where they're supposed to go. It alleviates the wasted time and energy that I had to put forth to make sure that's getting done. We had to do a test where we were doing outreach to potential clients. And so, we created a separate phone number for people to respond and handle those calls a little bit differently. It worked really well. It was easy to set up. It was also beneficial to do the exercise.

      Since partnering with Abby Connect, I'm able to keep things more organized. I'm able to make sure that calls are responded to, at least, my clients. If I'm unavailable, that they feel like they've been attended to. They're great. They're always readily available. They respond quickly and are very professional.

      I'm not super impressed with Abby. I've had to make complaints a couple of times about some of the quality of the representatives answering the phone or having them coached. I had representatives that were stumbling around and then the clients were going, “Who is this person? Why don't they know how to say the company's name.” I actually dropped Puget Sound from the name because the representatives weren't saying it correctly and people were asking me why I'm hiring people who don't even know how to say the major body of water that's by here.

      Getting changes done is a bit of a challenge. It's not an immediate, “Add this person.” It will take me sometimes several days to get somebody new added to the account. They could have better technology where if I want to add somebody in, I can click and say, “This is my new operations manager. This is the call list order.” I shouldn't have to reach out to a representative and wait four days for an email to come in. Also, one representative called and apologized for bothering me, which is costing me money. If you're bringing a call in, I just want to hear, “I have Jessica on the line from here and this is what it is.” I don't want chatter ringing up my bill. They also record the calls, but they only record the calls for their representatives and they don't record the two-way conversation that goes on.

      Hello Brad,

      Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and share with us some of your concerns and feedback on how we can improve our services. We are saddened to hear that you are not impressed and as your dedicated Customer Success Manager, my main priority is to always ensure that your live receptionist team and I are doing everything we can to provide you with a great experience with our partnership. Our goal is to serve as an extension of your business and in doing so we do take the time to learn about your business. I understand how the mispronunciation of the location in your greeting could have an impact on your business, and I’m glad that we were able to discuss other options for your customizable phone greeting. I’ve spoken with your receptionist team and have been working with them on getting your calls routed a bit faster and more efficiently.

      I wanted to apologize for the request for a new contact to be added to your account taking a bit longer than usual. Unfortunately, the request wasn’t sent to my email directly, so I was not notified of this update until I was back in the office, in which I was able to get your new contact added to your account. We are currently working on a new way for our clients to be able to do contact and account updates on their end. Implementing our double-sided call recording feature is something that I can certainly set up for you. I'll be reaching out to you soon so we can have you set up with that feature. Please do not hesitate to reach me if you have any other updates, questions, or concerns. I look forward to speaking with you.

      We did a 14-day trial and we really liked Abby Connect. They answer our phones for us and transfer calls to us. It's just that if we get a new person or if we've contacted our rep and made a change to how they should handle a call, sometimes not everyone is up-to-date on that. Then it would be like, “Well, no. Actually, we updated that.” And then they'll look at the records and see that it was updated.

      When they get a sales call, they're able to determine it's a sales call. Then they fill out my webform so it comes straight into my CRM and gets assigned out through my salesforce integration. It’s a fantastic feature. They have answered the phone on incoming leads that we would not have otherwise answered. So we're generating sales pipelines as a result of them answering the phone immediately. It's been great with Abby Connect.

      We use Abby's virtual receptionist and the impact has been quite a bit just because we currently have three intakes, people who are also serving us, receptionists and dealing with clients and that's their priority so that it just allows them to serve the client in front of them first, knowing if they don't pick up the phone right away, somebody will. It's extremely great.

      Abby Connect questions and answers

      What problem is Abby Connect trying to solve?
      Small companies cannot afford the cash and time investment to hire, train, manage and motivate receptionists to answer the phone calls. On the flip side they need their phone lines answered live by a professional receptionist so their calls do not go to voicemail or unanswered. Abby Connect provides a team of live receptionists at a fraction of the cost of hiring, training, managing and motivating an in-house receptionist.
      What sets Abby Connect apart from the competition?
      Abby Connect is focused on the quality of the customer service and wowing the client. We only assign five receptionists per account and only higher the best and brightest. Traditional answering services pay minimum wage, fail at motivating their receptionists and assign 50+ operators to each account. Abby achieves a level of personalization that is just not possible when you assign 50+ operators to an account. Some of our competitors only answer during the day Monday – Friday. We provide live receptionist services during the day, night and on weekends. Some of our competitors do not provide Spanish speaking receptionists whereas we do.
      What needs do your services fulfill, and how do you fulfill those needs better than your competition?
      Our company answers our clients’ phone lines like a receptionist of their company and focuses on wowing the caller. Our focus on our company culture and motivating the receptionists makes us better than our competition.
      How does Abby Connect measure success?
      We measure success based on the number of compliments our clients get from their callers about their receptionists.
      What’s the most common misconception consumers have about your industry?
      The biggest misconception consumers have about our industry is that all answering service/virtual receptionist companies can be lumped into one category. The truth is there are three categories in our industry that have very distinctive differences. The 1st category is a traditional answering service that is 24/7, has a large call center with 50+ operators and is the lowest cost solution. These companies were built around the medical field’s need for Doctors to get calls after hours and to be paged when there is an emergency. Their entire business model is built around quantity and low cost. The 2nd category is a virtual office/executive suite company that handles a company’s mail, provides meeting room and office space and answer their phone lines. Their core focus is in the space services they provide and phones are just a part of what they do. The 3rd category, which Abby Connect falls into, is a premium virtual receptionist company that has their core focus on answering phone calls for small companies and becoming the receptionist of the company they are answering for. In this category we are focused on really wowing the caller and surpassing any level of customer service that our client could provide on their own.
      How has your industry changed in the last 5 to 10 years?
      In the past 5-10 years we have started to see the large call centers that were originally built to only take messages for Doctors try to market themselves as virtual receptionist companies that are focused on small businesses. These call centers still have the culture of cutting cost and not focusing on quality of service. The only thing that has changed is their marketing.
      What is something you wish every consumer knew about Abby Connect?
      I wish every consumer could meet our receptionists in person. We have such an amazing group of receptionists and anyone would be proud to have an Abby Connect receptionist answer their calls.
      Has your business received any awards or recognition your customers would like to know about?
      We constantly receive incredible feedback from our customers. We have an extremely high retention rate.
      How has Abby Connect grown or evolved?
      Our company began as an executive suite company. We answered the phones for our office tenants and soon realized how well we were at providing exceptional customer service. This realization led us to start TelAssistant. TelAssistant was marketed as a virtual receptionist service that answers your phone line plus handle your companies scheduling. Over a 3 year period we found out that trying to learn a company’s scheduling platform and schedule a patient or caller was too time consuming and not cost effective for our client. We also found there were mistakes made and it was extremely difficult to become experts at each individual scheduler. We did not want to do anything we were not experts at which led us to re-brand as Abby Connect. Abby Connect’s only mission is to wow the callers for our clients and provide the best customer service experience over the phone as possible.
