For your business to get and stay ahead of the competition, service never stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, however, you set up a phone system well, it\u2019s minimal work, keeps the customers returning, and builds your brand. Make no mistake: the voice you use as part of your answering service of IVR is considered your <a href=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/voice123\/a-brand-voice-why-having-one-is-important\/\">brand voice<\/a> by your customers or clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The job<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, a phone system\u2019s job is to service your customers, even after hours. The difficult part is continuing that level of service after you\u2019ve closed up shop. How can a phone system compare to your 5-star live service?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s all relative. There are some obvious things a phone system can\u2019t do, like fulfill orders or answer very specific questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what it can do is preemptively service your customers at a basic level, welcome their interest, and maintain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, a phone system should give the basics, including your name, contact information, business hours, whether or not they can leave a message, and the best way to reach you. It should also thank them for the call and validate their interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, it has to be interesting enough for them to stay on the line. This is where the <a href=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/voice123\/using-a-pro-voice-over\/\">professional<\/a> voice over comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Professional voice over: image of a woman looking at a cellphone screen\" class=\"wp-image-21086 lazyload\" width=\"281\" height=\"422\" data-src=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/glen-anthony-qGebG5t7cOw-unsplash-330x500.jpg\"><figcaption>Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@mrmcbuckets?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Glen Anthony<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/phone?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever undertaken a DIY project and then, halfway through, realized a professional would have done it better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard voice mails where you can hear the entire street block in the background, or the insignificant monotonous voice with a generic voicemail greeting. Either the people who made these voicemails don\u2019t care about them, or they really don\u2019t know how bad they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the phone system is the face of your service when you\u2019re not there, it\u2019s worth hiring a professional voice actor, so you don\u2019t end up in that situation. Professional voice actors have the skills and tools to make a phone system effective and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want a bright and uplifting tone? Your voice actor has your back. What about a deeper voice with more gravitas? Your voice actor has your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about having a professional voice over is that it can sound amazing, and it can do that very important job of keeping your customers\u2019 attention. You\u2019ll need broadcast-quality audio if you want to have the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vtrep.com\/audio-is-more-important-than-video-picture-quality\/\">best results<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 something a voice actor can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just sound quality, it\u2019s the emotional quality of the voice too. Professional voice actors have the chops to voice the exact emotion you\u2019re looking for, meaning they\u2019re the perfect tool for helping you relate to your customers and engage them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Branding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So after the phone call, the interaction with your phone system voiced by a professional, your customer ends the call feeling satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWow, what a great, welcoming voice. And the branding was on point too!\u201d they\u2019ll say. &#8220;If we were to do a psychometric analysis and aural impact study of the tone&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay maybe not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Professional voice over: image of customer smiling\n\" class=\"wp-image-21089 lazyload\" width=\"265\" height=\"321\" sizes=\"(max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/joel-mott-LaK153ghdig-unsplash-247x300.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/joel-mott-LaK153ghdig-unsplash-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/joel-mott-LaK153ghdig-unsplash-412x500.jpg 412w, https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/joel-mott-LaK153ghdig-unsplash-768x932.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voice123.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/joel-mott-LaK153ghdig-unsplash.jpg 1122w\"><figcaption>Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@joelmott?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Joel Mott<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/smiling-customer?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the subtle opinions one derives from a customer experience as simple as a phone system ends up molding their future experiences. Furthermore, a &#8216;small&#8217; thing like a great voicemail actually lends a huge hand in upholding your branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When customers see that a business takes care of its branding down to its phone systems, that creates a good and lasting impression. It gives the impression of a committed business, one that&#8217;s serious about its values, a trustworthy contact, and one that cares about its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a professional voice over for your phone systems can really up your customer service and branding game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After figuring out what to say, handing it off to a professional voice actor, you&#8217;ll end up amazed by how much a voice over can improve your customer service!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a voice actor for your phone system?
