Where Your Needs Meet Our Know-How
Client Intake
Your award-winning team can better spend their time than answering a deluge of calls. PATLive’s answering service for agencies provides an immediate, empathetic response that captures essential details from prospects or clients without disrupting creative, strategic or account work.
Lead Collection
Consideration of prospective clients is key. Designed for shops that prefer to review, qualify or prioritize before responding, PATLive offers a structured capture of inquiries without immediate engagement. Because fit, scope and timing can determine next steps, rather than speed alone.
Call Screening & Transfers
There’s never enough time in the day. Reduce interruptions while ensuring high-value or time-sensitive calls reach the right team quickly. Our agency-trained receptionists will filter calls based on urgency, caller type (prospect, client, partner, media member) or predefined criteria before routing to the appropriate person.
Front Desk Receptionist
Image is everything…or at least it counts for a lot. You need a receptionist who wows. An experienced member of PATLive’s ace team will act as a professional first point of contact, presenting an on-brand experience for new and existing callers, as well as reinforcing credibility and scale without hiring full time staff.
After Hours Support
Missing a call can mean missing a huge opportunity. PATLive’s 24/7/365 receptionists will answer calls outside business hours so your agency remains responsive without requiring team members to be on call—protecting momentum from campaigns and preventing missed opportunities overnight or on weekends.
Appointment Scheduling
Your forte is juggling clients, not calendars. Preserving momentum after first contact and reducing manual coordination between teams, our answering service for agencies streamlines booking for discovery calls, follow‑ups and client conversations while protecting calendars and internal workflows.
Overflow & Backup
When the lines are lit up, enter PATLive. Our calm and collected receptionists will provide backup during call spikes from active campaigns, launches or short-term volume surges, as well as prevent missed calls when internal staff are in meetings, deep work sessions or taking a well deserved break.
Message Taking
Your world runs on details. Our virtual receptionists will reliably capture all the specifics of non‑urgent inquiries when immediate escalation isn’t needed. Teams will stay informed and focused without unnecessary interruptions.
Every Touchpoint. Covered.
Connected support wherever conversations happen.
