Is your business falling at the final hurdle?

2020 has been a tough time for all businesses.  The grip of the pandemic has been inescapable; however, business must go on. Many companies have taken advantage of the government help available, such as bounce back loans and grants, and are using these to fund marketing campaigns in a bid to reach potential customers. But how many of these are still falling at the final hurdle, not answering their phone when a customer calls?

Every interaction you have with your customers is crucial and failing to answer the phone can leave them frustrated and damage your brand. How many of your customers have called and been left on hold, placed in a queue or gone through to the dreaded answerphone. Customers have no interest in the fact you are short-staffed, busy or in a meeting, and more than likely will call the next available business, your competitor, who can fulfil their needs. Just one of these missed calls a week is 52 potential customers your business may have missed in a year. Make that one a day, and the numbers begin to stack up. £31.6 Billion is lost each year in the UK from unanswered calls, and 3 out of 4 customers will not leave a voicemail.
