Get Plugged In to Superior Customer Service
Being an electrician is a demanding job. Your trade requires you to be onsite rather than in an office. However, that means that you need staff answering phones and booking appointments to keep things running smoothly. Answering phones from 9 am till 5 pm is expected from a business, but what happens to those callers that reach voicemail? Also, what about emergency callers that need help after quitting time?
People hate talking to voicemail because they want help now. Studies shows that nearly 67 percent of people transferred to a voicemail box will hang up. Each lost call is costing you money.
