Answering your phones quickly is our top priority.
We answer 80% of calls within 3 rings or less. For the small number of calls that go on hold, we aim to keep the wait time under 60 seconds.
Most of the time, we answer even faster. But the 80% in 3 rings standard is considered the gold standard for the industry. It’s also the benchmark used by third-party evaluators like ATSI and CAM-X to grade the best answering services in the country — and that's why we use it too!
Durham calls are managed exclusively by our in-house, U.S.-based receptionists. No outsourcing - just clear, consistent communication that reflects the professionalism your clients expect every day.
