- Troubleshooting: Based on the information provided by callers, the Virtual Assistant can troubleshoot simple issues or escalate more complex problems to the appropriate team or department within your organization.
- Appointment scheduling: If applicable, the Virtual Assistant can manage calendars and schedules, assisting callers with setting up appointments or booking services.
