The number one rule for any business is to keep your customers happy! Every plumber or home services professional knows how important it is to deliver high-quality services. But, only part of the job is providing excellent services; the other key to keeping your customers happy is outstanding customer support. Timely response to customer inquiries, availability during emergencies, and ease of appointment setting can create a competitive advantage for your business. If growth is a goal, then you must support your customers and acknowledge or resolve any complaints or issues.
Reports say that more than 80% of callers sent to voicemail don’t leave messages because they don’t think they will be heard! Make an excellent first impression; never send a customer to voicemail again. Utilize automated solutions (greeting, phone tree, etc.) with customized protocols to support your customers until they have a resolution. What do you do if you can’t build the technology you need or afford to hire full-time staff to answer your phones and support your customers? Cue the experienced live-agent contact center.
Here are our top 4 benefits of partnering with a contact center to support and grow your plumbing business:
24x7x365 answering service
Plumbing problems arise at any hour of the day; so, it is possible to receive customer calls even after work hours. Don’t miss out on opportunities or leave your customers in need and without your support. Hire a plumbing contact center that works 24x7x365. When you are ready to serve your customers on-demand, regardless of time, they will trust you more. Also, a satisfied customer base always recommends and refers your business to their friends, families, and coworkers.
Dispatching specialists
