6. Virtual Receptionists for Small Businesses

Law firms, real estate agencies, and plumbing contractors cannot always afford full-time, in-house receptionists. Instead, they contract with virtual receptionist services.

As a virtual receptionist, you might answer calls for a dozen different small businesses throughout your shift. The software on your screen instantly displays the name of the company the customer is calling, along with a specific script for you to follow.

You will take messages, schedule consultations on digital calendars, and filter out spam calls. This role requires excellent multitasking skills and a consistently warm, professional telephone voice. Because you interact with a wide variety of businesses and customers, the work rarely feels monotonous.

Many virtual receptionist companies offer part-time shifts that fit perfectly around your morning golf game or afternoon grandchildren duties.

    I am looking for remote work. This article was very encouraging. I’m 65 and husband is retired Navy. We have raised 2 grandsons; one is 19 yrs and the other is 14 yrs. I am homeschooling him. We live on a fixed income. I have worked in human resources, customer service and medical transcription from home. A part-time job for me would be wonderful. Thanks again for this informational article.
