Choose the coverage and ask for a written price
- Overflow: decide when unanswered calls leave your own team, how forwarding is activated and what happens if a transfer cannot connect.
- After hours: specify nights, weekends and holidays, the time zone of each contact schedule, and the morning owner for unresolved messages.
- Full coverage: separate routine inquiries, approved scheduling tasks and requests that need your team’s judgment. Confirm the systems and permissions required for each action.
