What is an answering service?
An answering service or Telephone Answering Service (TAS) is a telecommunications service provided by a call center business that is employed to process incoming calls. Unlike our more sophisticated call center services, our answering services emphasize live operator answering, message taking, and message delivery.
Professional answering service agents
CMS hires only the best professional answering service agents so that you are guaranteed to receive the information you want, when you want. When hiring the appropriate staff to answer your calls the applicant must first submit an application that is looked over by our hiring staff and operations manager. Once the applicant is selected they go through extensive testing that ranges from comprehension to typing skills, making sure they meet the requirements of a professional telephone agent. Once the applicant is hired they must go through customer service training, where they are strictly evaluated to ensure they meet our quality assurance standards. After several weeks of training and answering service testing, they then begin answering calls under close supervision until the training staff and the agent are comfortable.
