Imagine you were to employ someone in your home or office to answer your telephones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, with no breaks, lunches, vacations or sick days.

"Impossible," you say.  "I couldn't do that.  It would be too expensive!"

And you would be right.

That is why Teddy O'Toole's and A Professional Answer have answered that call for busy professionals for more than 40 years.

But, just for the sake of comparison, imagine you did hire a staff of personal receptionists full-time, around the clock.

Here is what it would cost:

At an hourly rate of $8.00 per hour each of your employees would be paid $192.00 per day, $1,344.00 per week, $5,376.00 per month or $64,512.00 per year.

Keep in mind that these figures do not include payroll taxes, Social Security withholdings, worker's compensation insurance, health insurance, bonding, etc.

These figures also do not take into account that one employee can only answer one call at a time; that real employees need to take personal breaks, eat meals and sleep; or that real employees have families and personal business, just like all of us.

Which means that most of our clients would need to hire between three and six employees to provide 24/7 care for their needs.

That is why Teddy O'Toole's and A Professional Answer continue to serve busy professionals in entertainment and all walks of life.

We can answer your calls all day and all night, when you're away from the office, or after hours.  We can patch calls through to you wherever you are holding a meeting or entertaining or traveling, or we can take messages, as you wish.  We can automatically deliver your messages to you by fax or email.

We can be there when you cannot or do not wish to answer the phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, at a very reasonable cost -- a far lower cost than you could provide such a service for yourself.
