person in the front that must comfort and console, smile at unruly children and
nod their head when the unhappy yell at them about the bill. Truth is, the last
thing a secretary needs to do is make appointments. Today's law firm has other
options. Here are 5 easy ways online appointment scheduling software can revolutionize
your office and make your receptionist VERY HAPPY.
