Default Recommend answering service?

Can anyone recommend an answering service that does what Communication Station promises--taking calls for home inspectors and scheduling the inspection?

I can highly recommend 1-800 We Answer. They're nationwide, and can do all of the things that you need an answering service to do, including making appointments.

Just got out of the shower and thought I missed out on an Inspection call.
Lucky he only concidered... me.

I still would not use an answering service,as only I ,know how to speak of my services in a manner that sells them.

My only thought is remember to bring the phone in the shower with me from now on.

If you do not have a good phone voice ,you could maybe concider some third party.
