The Problem: Why Tradesmen Miss Calls (And What It Costs)
Let's face it. Being a tradesman is a demanding job. You're constantly on the move, often working in noisy environments, and focused on the task at hand. It's no wonder answering the phone falls by the wayside. But consider this:
- Missed calls equal missed opportunities: Every missed call is a potential customer who may go to a competitor.
- Poor voicemail leaves a bad impression: A generic or non-existent voicemail can make you look unprofessional and unreliable.
- Delayed follow-up kills leads: People want quick responses. The longer you wait, the less likely they are to choose you.
Think about it. A new homeowner needs an electrician urgently. They call three electricians. The first doesn't answer. The second has a rubbish voicemail. The third answers immediately and books them in. Guess who gets the job?
