What is a Receptionist?
Receptionists are often the first voice and face a person
sees when interacting with a company. Receptionists answer phones, receive visitors, provide information and perform clerical duties.
Why Companies Need Receptionists
The first impression a company makes is important, and often that first impression comes from a Receptionist. Further, Receptionists often provide the company with some security by keeping logs of who comes in and out of the office and/or escorting visitors to their destination.

- Records are up to date and complete.
- Visitors are monitored.
- Payments and receipts are handled efficiently and professionally.
- Client problems are addressed promptly and efficiently.
What do Receptionists do?
Receptionists maintain the “face” of a business. This often includes:
- Answering telephone calls: Receptionists must have good phone etiquette and the ability to take messages and forward calls to their intended recipients.
- Maintaining calendars: A Receptionist schedules and confirms appointments, and they ensure that all visitors have appointments.
- Greet, check in and escort or direct visitors to their destinations: A Receptionist needs a friendly-but-firm demeanor when greeting and checking in visitors. All visitors must have a clear reason that they are in the office, and some visitors may require directions or assistance finding their destinations.
- Inform employees of visitor arrivals or cancellations: When a visitor arrives for or cancels their appointment, a Receptionist informs the affected employee(s).
- Copy, file and maintain records: Receptionists manage many different kinds of files. These may include visitor logs, phone logs, payments and receipts or CRM databases (customer relationship management databases).
- Handle correspondence: Receptionists receive mail and packages on behalf of the company and distribute these items to their intended recipients.
- Hear and resolve complaints: It is often up to the Receptionist to listen to complaints and provide appropriate customer service.
In addition to these highlights there may be other tasks/actions that you will be asked to take part in or complete that coincide with accomplishing the organizations objectives that are broader than the direct responsibilities of this role.
Who manages you and who do you work with?
