Holiday Cover Service

Holiday Cover

We all need a break sometimes! For the self employed or small business partnerships that can simply mean letting the phone go straight to voicemail and you not replying for a week or 2. Or maybe a key person in your larger business is going away and there is nobody else to answer the phones.

That is potential commercial suicide for your business reputation and turnover. Think about your average value sales enquiry and how much revenue you could loose if you had 5 or 10 new business enquiries while you are away for a week or two. Our Holiday Cover answering service is there to protect your interests and represent your business while you are ‘on the beach’.

Here’s how it works:

1. A member of our Telephone Answering Service team will either speak with you over the phone or meet in person to go over the ins and outs of your business. Everything from staff details to the colour of your front door.

2. We use this information to create a personalised profile then go over the brief process of how to divert your phones.

3. We test all your specified message sending options and transfer lines.
If your business needs a bit more than our telephone answering service, we’re ready for you! This could include…

What Kind Of Tech Are We Working With?

Within our contact centre we do not rely on third party voice over IP (VoIP) systems. We have installed our own dedicated telephone system utilising PSTN services. This means that when we talk to your customers we don’t sound like we’re using two tins and a piece of string!

We don’t rely on inferior broadband either. We have also installed a dedicated fibre optic data circuit. This circuit is not shared with most of the local town; in fact it’s not shared with anyone. And BT guarantees 99.9% uptime on the line. This means that if we do access your CRM or database we won’t be continually losing connection and asking your customers to “Please hold the line sir!”

My Calls Are Complicated. How Can I Be Sure You’re Taking The Right Information?

We talk with you about what you need to get out of each call and will build you a bespoke script based on the information you give us. You can make as many changes as you need to your script to make sure your calls are being answered correctly.
