Never miss a call, even when your hands are full
I answer your business phone and texts when you cannot, pencil the job into your diary for your yes, take a message, and put an emergency straight through to one of your team. Keep your own number, and switch me on from Skills whenever you are ready.
No card needed. Unlimited for 14 days. Cancel any time.
Answers when you cannot
Up a ladder or mid-job? I pick up the phone so the caller is not lost.
Pencils into your diary
I take the job and pencil it in at a time you are really free, ready for your yes.
Takes a proper message
When it is not one to book, I take the details and pass them on.
The call you would have missed, answered
Every missed call is a job that might have gone to the next firm on the list. When you cannot get to the phone, I answer it in a natural voice, using what I know about your business, and either pencil the job in for your yes or take a clear message. A pencilled booking holds its slot until you approve it or dismiss it, and you get a WhatsApp with an Approve it button. On a receptionist number that can take texts, I answer those too, with the same approval rules. Every call lands on your Receptionist page with the recording, the transcript and what I did, anything waiting for you at the top.
- Keep your own number with call forwarding
- Pencilled jobs wait for your yes, in the app or on WhatsApp
- Every call recorded and written out on the Receptionist page
It books the way you would
How I offer times is up to you: exact start times, mornings and afternoons, or your own slots like 8 to 10 and 10 to 12, on the days and hours you work. Offer a window and that’s what the caller is told, what their confirmation says and what shows on the job. Ask for a time the engineer can’t reach and I say so and offer one that works. Addresses are checked, never guessed: I look the postcode up against the Royal Mail address file and read the real address back. A recognised number starts the call knowing the last three months of texts and calls, and a customer on a different number is found by name and postcode.
- Exact times, mornings and afternoons, or your own slots
- Never offers a time the engineer can’t reach
- Addresses checked against the Royal Mail address file
Out of hours, and when it matters
Outside your hours I can tell callers you are closed, take their details and say which day you will ring back, worked out from your real opening hours. If you turn out when closed, switch on emergency cover and I offer to get somebody out instead. A caller who smells gas gets the national gas emergency number on the call and by text afterwards, and you get an alert straight away.
- Closed messages that know your real opening hours
- Emergency cover if you turn out after hours
- Gas smells and major leaks flagged to you at once
Put through to a person, live
Some calls need one of you. Switch on live transfer and I put an emergency through to your team at any hour, and a caller who asks for somebody while you are open. I take their details first, so nothing is lost if nobody picks up. Then I ring the people you pick, up to six of them at once. Whoever answers hears who is calling and why, and presses 1 to take it, so a voicemail never swallows the call. If nobody does, the caller comes back to me, I tell them the team has their message, and I can still book them in.
- Emergencies at any hour, callers asking for someone while you are open
- Up to six people rung at once, and whoever presses 1 takes it
- Nobody free? The caller comes back to me with their message already taken
