Key Benefits

Boost Business Opportunities
Zzzzzzzzzzz…does anyone love scheduling? Actually, we do. Full-service scheduling is our specialty! PATLive’s 24/7/365 receptionists will maximize your bookings, whether calls come in after hours, during peak times or when you and your staff are unavailable (you’re with another client, in court, on the job or asleep ‘cause it’s midnight). Send a customer to voicemail and you may as well send them to your biggest competitor. Well-versed in politeness, accuracy and efficiency, our friendly, US-based team will work their sweet-voiced magic, capturing every lead and scheduling appointments on the first call. And they’ll adeptly provide outbound service as well: calling to confirm appointments, rebook cancellations, schedule follow-ups or check in after a service call or visit.
Save Time & Resources
Wild guess: chasing after a customer to confirm a Tuesday 9 a.m. call isn’t the best use of your staff’s skill set? Offloading time-consuming and often complex appointment scheduling to our professional receptionists allows your team to focus on more high-value work. And ultimately, that saves you money when productivity and overtime come into play.
Stay the Boss of Your Schedule
Surprise! You’re triple booked on an already frenetic Friday afternoon. Nope. That won’t happen here. Appointments are booked according to your rules, availability and preferences. PATLive can handle all the same scheduling functions your in-office staff does, using your current calendar or scheduling software like Calendly, eliminating the need to change systems or retrain your team. We’ll keep your schedule private and—if you want—send instant notification when an appointment is scheduled, rescheduled or canceled.
Make a Fantastic First Impression
We get you. Our polished PATLive receptionists are an extension of your team, professionally greeting callers and seamlessly scheduling appointments to reinforce trust from the very first interaction. For a complete VIP experience, they’ll even send follow-up communications with confirmation details and preparation instructions immediately after appointments are scheduled. They can also check in post-appointment to see if all is well or whether a follow-up is needed—seriously upping the feel-good factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my calls to PATLive?
When you sign up for service, we’ll provide a local or toll-free phone number. You can either advertise this number directly, or you can forward your calls to it from your current number. Forward calls all the time, or only at certain times.
Can calls ring to my team first and then rollover to PATLive if we don’t answer?
Yes, with our FindMe feature, we can try to reach you at up to four different numbers before calls rollover to your PATLive receptionists.
What booking software are your services compatible with?
We’re proud to support all of the major calendar and scheduling tools, including AppointmentPlus, Calendly, Google Calendar, MindBody, Schedulicity and SetMore. However, if you don’t use one of these platforms, we may still be able to help with your scheduling. Typically, we can work with any software suite that’s web-based, so long as it doesn’t require specialized training.
How am I notified of new appointments, reschedules, or cancellations?

That’s entirely up to you. We can send a push notification in our apps any time there is a scheduling update, or you can rely on the notifications that are built into your calendaring software

How do I update my availability if I’m sick or taking a vacation?
We’ll always go by the availability on the calendar you’ve provided us, so all you have to do is block the time off with a self-explanatory label like “Out Sick” or “Out on Vacation” and our receptionists will automatically schedule around these blocks.
