In today’s on-demand economy, customers want quick answers, personalized service, and to be able to connect in the way they prefer. Right now, someone is looking for your service or product, and if they don’t see an easy way to connect, they’ll move on.
65% of customers want to reach a business by phone, while 42% prefer webchat over other communication channels. Failing to answer when customers come to call can lead them right into the arms of your competitors.
29% of answered calls result in a sale and businesses achieve 40% conversion rates with live chat. Missing out on these opportunities to reinforce a customer connection or win over a prospect translates into less earning potential.
At Ruby, we provide small businesses with the services, products, and analytics they need to manage customer interactions and deliver exceptional experiences in an increasingly digital world. Our customer engagement solution authentically connects with website visitors and callers—capturing more opportunities and providing that critical human touch that builds trust in your business.
Once a scrappy startup ourselves, Ruby now serves more than 13,000 business owners. The same quality of service and fundamental business beliefs that have perpetuated our own growth can be heard and felt thousands of times a day with every connection we make for our customers.
Our software empowers us to give your customers the individualized experiences they crave. We use technology to support real, meaningful connections—never replacing them. Plus, Ruby’s customer support team works with you to optimize your account—updating instructions here, adding new FAQ responses there—to ensure we provide the best possible experience for you and your customers.
Your business only gets one chance to make a good first impression, and Ruby takes serving as an extension of your team seriously. We train every receptionist in empathetic listening, how to guide frustrated customers, presenting a friendly, professional tone, and so much more.
Ruby believes in the power of going above and beyond. We create unexpected moments of joy for you and your team—with handwritten notes and surprise deliveries, and more—that swell into an outflow of happiness. We call it the Ruby Ripple Effect!
Anyone can answer a phone—but there’s a difference between an answering service and consistently engaging with customers on every call, 24/7.
Capture opportunities.
We answer your calls live—24/7, 365-days a year, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to wow your next customer.
Make an impression.
Our award-winning receptionists greet and treat your callers as if they were talking to a member of your team, based on your customized instructions.
Save on costs.
We transfer calls, take messages, answer FAQs, book appointments, gather intake information, and more—extending your team at a fraction of the cost of an in house hire.
Grow your business.
Our highly-trained, US based receptionists turn your callers into loyal customers, while giving you the freedom to focus on your growing business.
We say hello to your caller with a customized greeting. “Thank you for calling ABC Company, how may I help you today?”
Based on your customized call-handling instructions, we either forward the call to you, take a message, or send the caller to voicemail.
When the call is complete, the receptionist sends an email, text, or app notification with the caller’s message and any relevant details.
We can engage your callers in other ways including answering FAQs, scheduling appointments and completing short intake forms.
Cloud-based technology has redefined the office and made it possible to work from anywhere. Hours are shifting, and customer interactions are expanding into the evenings and weekends. There’s a blurring of home and work that can be both empowering and overwhelming.
Staying connected doesn’t have to mean being available 24/7, nor should it. Whether you’re repairing a sink, heading to court, or balancing personal needs, our mobile app lets you control your availability while staying on top of your communication.
Mobile App
Send calls to Ruby, straight to you, or any other number you choose with call forwarding. Have us hold calls with one tap, or set Ruby as backup—we’ll answer only if you don’t.
Update receptionists on your preferred call answering instructions with the status function, sync your day’s schedule with your call handling using Ruby’s calendar integration, and provide messages you’d like relayed to your callers.
Read receptionist messages and voicemail transcriptions, set follow-up reminders, and track usage and call volume throughout the month.
Show your Ruby-hosted business number as your caller ID when you make calls from the app and keep your personal number private.
Work from anywhere, never miss an opportunity, and make a great impression.
