The gap
The jobs you win are the calls you answer
While you're focused on the work, your customers expect someone to answer. Every missed call is a potential job lost to the next contractor who picks up. Here's how the different solutions compare.
Other option
Voicemail
- Callers hang up and dial the next name
- No qualification, no context
- You return calls at 9pm
Other option
Basic answering service
- Messages taken, nothing resolved
- Reads a generic script
- No access to your calendar
Our solution
Bridge Reception
- Fully customized to your scripts, rules and service area
- Calls answered 24/7 in your company name
- Enquiries qualified and urgent jobs escalated
- Jobs booked straight into your calendar
- A fraction of the cost of a full-time hire
