Why an Answer Phone Message is not the best first impression.

People no longer leave messages on answer phones if they are sourcing a new supplier, they just ring someone else.

This is something we are all guilty of. Whether we find a potential supplier through the internet or an old copy of yellow pages, if we telephone and get an answer phone, we hang up, instantly dismissing that company as not suitable.

No business can afford this to happen in the current economic climate, but if you work on your own, spend most of your working day on the road, in meetings or at client’s premises what is the alternative?

You can keep interrupting the person you are with to answer your mobile, you can apologise to the caller due to the fact that you are driving so cant take down their details to call them back, or you can arrange to have your calls answered by experienced, local staff in the Belfast Business Centre.

The Business Telephone Answering Service is £40 per month plus VAT. You receive a unique Belfast Telephone number to divert your calls to or to issue to customers. All calls are answered in your company name, the callers details are logged and emailed to you on completion of the call so you have a record to refer to, and enable you to call them back when you are in a position to devote the attention needed to win their business.

There are no call limits on the service and no message charges.

We have many clients who take advantage of this service to win new business and organise their working day.

Our clients include Photographers who can not take calls while at photo shoots, weddings or functions; Cleaning companies, who are working at client’s premises every day; Chiropractors and appointment led professionals who can not interrupt a treatment to take a call; and Estate Agents who attend viewings and valuations throughout the day.

Why not try the service which operates on a monthly basis* and see the benefits for yourself?

Clients can also take advantage of the many free services provided by the Belfast Business Centre to help market your business.


*Clients need give just one month’s notice at any time.
