PATLive Now Offers Calendar Scheduling with Appointment-plus

Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) December 9, 2008 -- PATLive, a provider of live telephone answering services, today announced that it now offers appointment scheduling with Appointment-plus (http://appointment-plus.com/), Microsoft's recommendation for online appointment scheduling software (http://www.appointment-plus.com/pr_20070808.php).

When a PATLive live receptionist (http://www.patlive.com/receptionist/) answers a call for a small business customer that uses Appointment-plus, the receptionist is linked to the customer's Appointment-plus calendar. The receptionist can add, change or delete appointments for the customer. According to PATLive VP of Sales & Marketing Victor D'Aurio, Appointment-plus makes everything easy and affordable. "Our customers are small businesses so it has to have a sensitive price point. It also needs to offer a lot of options without getting complicated."

Small businesses subscribe to PATLive's service to avoid the expense of a full-time receptionist or to make sure their business phone gets answered by a live receptionist even during non-business hours. The service works best when the receptionist can follow a simple script or set of tasks when answering the phone. The receptionists are trained to provide excellent customer service and they are available 24 hours a day.

"Appointment-plus is the only scheduling software we work with," said D'Aurio. "We get great support from Appointment-plus and this helps us deliver great service to our customers. And great service is the key to our success."
