$40K/year vs. plans that start at $19/month.
A great receptionist is worth their weight in gold. But most small businesses can't afford one — and shouldn't have to.
The problem
The problem with Hiring a Receptionist
- $35,000–50,000/year salary plus benefits and training
- Only covers 9–5, Monday through Friday
- Calls in sick, takes vacation, eventually quits
- Turnover averages every 14 months — then you start over
