As a new business venture you will need to consider the costs associated with renting office space, employing staff and responding to your telephone enquiries. One of the biggest problems facing most new start ups is overheads and keeping costs to a minimum. This might mean that you try to handle everything initially, including all your incoming calls which if you are out and about securing business means using voicemail.
Lost calls means lost business.
Interestingly statistics show that missed telephone calls are responsible for 15% of all incoming calls, so if you equate this to lost sales your business will suffer.
Additionally 98% of people surveyed said that bad telephone service left them with a very poor impression of the company.
And 69% of those people would never call back!
The alternative “voicemail” is no more successful with other studies demonstrating that 80% of callers hang up rather than leaving a message.
