From Our Las Vegas Family to Your U.S. Business

Abby is more than just an answering service – we’re a family business, proudly built in Las Vegas and trusted by clients across the U.S. For over 20 years, every call we’ve answered has reflected values passed down through generations: warmth, consistency, and customer-first service.

Built on Integrity, Powered by People

Our CEO, Nathan, grew up watching his parents build businesses across a range of industries — learning early on the value of hard work, integrity, and building strong, lasting relationships. Today, Abby supports thousands of businesses — big and small — with a U.S.-based team that treats you and your clients like part of the family.

The Problem With Faceless Providers

Being family-owned isn’t just a nice-to-have – it solves real issues many businesses face with impersonal call centres or AI-only support.

Here’s what our culture brings to your business:

One-size-fits-all call handling with no flexibilitySmart, Scalable Solutions: Whether you’re a solo practitioner or multi-location enterprise, we tailor the level of human and AI support to your needs, ensuring we grow with you.
Scripted or robotic-sounding callsPersonalized Call Handling: Our team is trained on your tone, workflows, and goals - so callers feel like they’re talking to your in-house team.
High staff turnover = inconsistent caller experienceBuilt-In Continuity: We value our company culture just as much as our clients’ happiness. That’s why our team sticks with us - growing, evolving, and bringing that same care to every client relationship.

Abby Connect’s CEO Nathan Strum’s entrepreneurial journey began early, learning the ropes of business alongside his parents, Gail and Jeff. From running a private charter airline to operating multiple bagel shops, the Strum family emphasized hands-on involvement and a strong work ethic, teaching their son the importance of dedication and respect in business.

In 2005, with a passion for innovation, the Strums launched TelAssistant, a receptionist service designed to support business owners with professional call answering. What started as a simple call-handling solution quickly evolved to include virtual receptionists and office space services, with a focus on customer connections and service excellence.

Gail, Nathan’s mother and the company’s first receptionist, set the standard for outstanding customer service. By building strong relationships with clients and going the extra mile, she helped drive customer loyalty and referrals—principles that would become the foundation of the company’s success.

In 2014, the company rebranded as Abby Connect, emphasizing its mission to make meaningful connections between businesses and their callers. The name “Abby” symbolizes the joy and warmth the receptionists bring to each interaction. Abby Connect’s unique approach to customer service, paired with a culture of team-building and personal development, ensures that business owners in every industry receive exceptional support. A focus on technological advancements that assist receptionists and business owners alike have allowed the company to expand its solutions and offer the highest levels of virtual receptionist services.

FAQS

Answering Your Questions

Why choose Abby over a corporate answering service?

Big-box providers can feel impersonal, with high turnover and scripted responses. Abby’s culture is different. We’ve spent more than 20 years building a team that values personal connection, consistency, and care. Every caller is treated as an extension of your business, not just another number.

We’ve been serving businesses for over two decades. That experience has shaped our culture and our processes – from training receptionists to developing our AI receptionist.

Corporate services struggle with turnover and generic scripts. Abby invests in training and culture, so our receptionists stay with us and deliver care that feels genuine. Our onboarding and solutions are tailored to your business, so callers get the same high-quality experience every time.

No. All of Abby’s receptionists work together from our Las Vegas headquarters—never outsourced, and never remote. Unlike competitors who rely on work-from-home agents or offshore teams, our in-office model ensures higher quality, more consistent service. Every call is answered in your brand’s voice by receptionists who are trained, supported, and sitting side-by-side in one place.

As a family-owned company, Abby treats every client as a partner and every caller with the warmth and professionalism you’d expect from your own team.
