Ruby Partners with Nextiva to Deliver Integrated Phone and Receptionist Service Solution

PORTLAND, Ore. - March 12, 2019 - PRLog -- Ruby_® Receptionists, the personalized, live chat, and receptionist service dedicated to the success of small business, today announced a new partnership with Nextiva, an industry-leading cloud communications company. The alliance delivers a seamlessly integrated, one-of-a-kind small business communications solution powered by Nextiva's world-class business phone system and backed by Ruby's friendly and personal receptionist service that currently serves more than 10,000 customers across the U.S.

With this integrated solution, customers can now seamlessly turn their Ruby service on and off with just the touch of a button on their pre-programmed Nextiva business phone, ensuring the friendly voice of a Ruby receptionist or their in-house staff always greets incoming callers. Additionally, based on each customer's on-demand personalized instructions, callers can be transferred to the appropriate team member or can be sent directly to Nextiva voicemail.

The solution is powered by the integration of Ruby's robust technology platform and Nextiva's reliable and scalable cloud-based communications solution, providing businesses a powerful tool to efficiently grow and manage their organization, treating every phone call as an opportunity to land more business and delight more customers.

"Close to 60 percent of potential new customers call a business when deciding to make a purchase. The ability to engage and connect with these callers helps ensure small business owners are capitalizing on those inbound marketing efforts, building their customer base, and growing their business," said Yaniv Masjedi, Chief Marketing Officer at Nextiva. "We're thrilled to join forces with such a trusted leader in the small business market and share Ruby's commitment to helping small businesses thrive."

Ruby, who last year celebrated 15 years in business, delivers exceptional experiences for its customers' callers. The company's services provide more opportunities to engage and connect to build trust, create customer loyalty, and improve brand reputation.
