Phone Answering Service, While on Holiday
« on: July 19, 2014, 08:37:24 am »
I'm going abroad soon and I have always taken the phone with me and booked jobs in while chilling by the pool  8)

My wife is not to keen on this and I'm so busy with calls it would be nice to just forget about it for a change and let someone else take the bookings.

Could anyone recommend a company that will take your calls and book jobs. Also have you any idea on costs. TIA

I leave phone in room and call back missed calls at tea time whilst sipping a cold one.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

We use Faces For Business, they take the calls and email you, very good service.

I use facactum (?) last year, for a week it cost me £149.

the emailed me all enquiries with the daily results. I think I had it set so they answered in my name and apologised that I was on holiday for a week but they could take a message and I would return all calls when I got back

 I think I only had them answer from 8am  6pm with an answephone outside those hours.

I returned to 21 calls to call back, normally I would get 30ish in a week so it did not work as good as me answering...... but not bad

Answer in your business name, filter out sale's calls (these calls don't count towards your "total" so aren't charged for) and either forward business enquires, store them for your return or can book for you.
