full time job, how to field seller calls?

what are you guys doing to field your calls from your marketing efforts?  We are hiring an employee with a script.  Asking them why they want to sell, what they want to happen, and the property specifics.  So we can then analyze the data, view the property, and make an offer.  We do this because we work and cant answer the phone. 

What do you guys do?

    Hire an answering service or get a Google voice number for free. You can get answering services that will give you 30/40 minutes of talk time for 50 bucks a month or so, or you can leave your own pre-recording on a Google Voice number and just call them back.

    we ended up going with reisolutions.  they give you a phone number where you can attach a voicemail.  then it electronically files it for you.

    A disadvantage to using the voicemail approach is when it comes time to getting back in touch with the lead. It usually ends up with playing phone tag with an annoyed seller. And many of the sellers you do end up getting a hold of, will turn out to be dead leads (which you only know after speaking with them for 10-20 minutes). For the sake of time optimization and efficiency, I would recommend looking into a call center service (with a script you provide) as a long term solution. It can be fairly inexpensive and frees you up to focus on the more important details.
