Phone Answering Service

[Cornelius Charles]

My wife and I work full time jobs and are not always available to answer calls we receive from our marketing.  We have a decent voicemail set up, but I wonder how many leads choose not to leave a voicemail and move on to the next number they find.  I am trying to think of ways we can improve on this.  Although we do not receive a ton of calls (maybe 10 a week), I do not want to increase our marketing until we can find a way to improve on answering the calls.  Does anyone have a suggestion for either a phone answering service or virtual assistant for low volume work?  I don't think it makes sense to pay someone hourly when we don't get many calls, so are they any options to pay-per-call? I have searched the forums and found suggestions on answering services that charge monthly for a certain amount of minutes, but just wanted to see if there are any other options out there?  Thanks.
