Electricians: Save Time And Money With A Live Virtual Receptionist

When you’re an electrician running your own business, efficiency is the name of the game. There’s only so much you can do about external forces impacting your business, but making sure your business runs efficiently is both something entirely within your control and also a foolproof way to ensure success. 

One of the reasons it can actually be difficult to make your business more efficient is that it can be tough to spot some of those smaller inefficiencies. They’re often little things that you don’t even notice are taking up time or wasting your money. That’s why we’re here to tell electricians how you can save time and money with a live virtual receptionist. We’ll go into some of the little problems that are making your business less efficient, and how a virtual receptionist can resolve those little issues and add up to quite a bit of savings.

Stop Letting Phone Calls Waste Your Time

Here’s a perfect example of why efficiency matters for electricians. Imagine you’re wiring a kitchen during a full remodel. If you run your own business, you’ve got to be on the lookout for phone calls while you’re climbing up and down ladders, double checking plans, and threading wiring through metal studs. 

Every phone call you answer slows down the job. Even if it’s just for five minutes, it’ll take you at least that long to get back on task. Not to mention the fact that it can be dangerous to talk on the phone while also doing your work. If you multiply those ten minutes by the number of calls you get in a day, and then multiply that by the number of days you spend on a job, you’ll find that you could be finishing your work hours earlier. 

Those are hours you could spend working other jobs or doing essential administrative work. That right there is what we’re talking about: a leak in your company, wasting your time and, therefore, your money. But you can’t ignore every call that comes your way. If you’re sending all your customers to voicemail, you might as well be referring them to another electrician. And, of course, there’s the rise in spam calls in recent years, which, if you’re like us, has been driving you crazy. 

How Can A Virtual Receptionist Help?

By screening your calls, a live virtual receptionist will save you plenty of time, every day. When you have someone screening your calls, you won’t have to waste time answering spam calls anymore. And if there are customers calling with non-urgent business, your virtual receptionist can just take a message. Of course, you might still want to handle new customer callers personally, in which case you can have those calls transferred to you. Even still, most of your calls will never reach your phone, freeing you to make the most of your time on the job.

Of course, these are benefits a traditional in-office receptionist could bring to your company. One of the advantages of hiring a live virtual receptionist service is that it takes the time-saving one step further: you’d save time on hiring and training too. That answering service has already handled the hiring and training processes, meaning you can save countless hours of your valuable time and still get a highly-skilled receptionist.

Make Sure You’re Making The Most Of Your Budget

With the power of the internet, customers have lists of electricians in their area available to them within seconds. Even more than ever, you need to invest in marketing to generate leads and make your company stand out from the crowd. However, all that focus on lead generation can often make business owners lose sight of their lead capturing. After all, what use is that lead generation if none of those leads convert to customers?

That’s why you should invest in a virtual receptionist. Having a live virtual receptionist available to answer your calls 24/7 ensures you’ll never miss a new lead, no matter when they call. And if you’re not able to take a new customer’s call right away, your virtual receptionist can perform a new customer intake or even add them to your schedule, gathering important information for your follow-up and making sure that lead doesn’t call another electrician before you can get back to them.

Again, these are benefits an in-office receptionist could bring to your business. However, between rising salary and expensive benefits, it has never been more expensive to hire a receptionist. With a live virtual receptionist service, you won’t have to worry about any of that, and can instead enjoy the benefits of a receptionist while saving money.
