Customised call answering solutions to suit your industry sector.

is outsourced call answering a solution for your industry?

When you’re a sole trader or your existing team is overloaded, it can be difficult to maintain consistent quality when answering daily queries or following up on leads. Our modern way of working no longer follows a 9 to 5 routine, so your customers may want to reach you outside normal working hours.

An outsourced call answering service provides the ideal solution to relieve the stress of juggling all tasks, ease the pressure from existing personnel and offer a friendly voice on the end of the line or out-of-hours.

Review some of the sectors SMARTstrat currently supports with call handling solutions.

property management

Property management is a 24/7 business dealing with tenants, contractors and landlords. A professional call answering service can handle various enquiries, such as tenant requests, maintenance issues and lease enquiries, saving your property management team valuable time. Property managers can maintain a prompt, efficient and compassionate image, as calls are handled professionally and tailored to specific requirements.

Ultimately, by outsourcing call answering, property management companies can focus on core responsibilities, streamline operations, and provide real-time responses to tenants and property owners.

legal & finance

Trust and responsibility are huge factors in the legal and financial sectors, and clients want to know they are being listened to and cared for. A call answering service ensures every incoming call is promptly responded to, enhancing client satisfaction and preventing uncertainty around sensitive matters.

Enquiries such as appointment scheduling, progressing document requests and taking messages filter general enquiries and prevent unnecessary interruptions, saving organisations such as solicitors, insurance brokers and HR valuable time and resources. Always having a friendly voice on the end of the line instils confidence and trust in services, making clients feel looked after.

sales & marketing

Outsourcing call handling provides numerous benefits to sales and marketing companies. Calls can be answered outside regular business hours, capturing potential leads and preventing missed opportunities. Excess calls can be efficiently managed and distributed during busy periods or when new campaigns or products are launched.

Outsourcing calls offers support with lead management, ensuring valuable prospects are nurtured and converted into customers. By leveraging call answering services, sales and marketing companies can optimise customer engagement, enhance lead conversion rates and focus on core business activities, ultimately driving growth and achieving marketing objectives.

estate agents & lettings

A professional call answering service for an estate agent or lettings company ensures all tenant enquiries and concerns are promptly addressed, enhancing tenant satisfaction and minimising potential conflicts. The nature of calls may include issues with property appliances, maintenance requests, property viewings and lease enquiries. Managing such calls frees up valuable time for the team to progress viewings, sales, tenant interviews and property preparation.

Always having a knowledgeable person to speak to promotes a reliable and responsive image, fostering trust and loyalty among tenants and buyers.

sole traders

Sole traders often face the challenge of missing calls while working on customer projects, leaving them limited availability to respond in the evenings. Using a call answering service can overcome this hurdle by responding to all incoming enquiries, engaging with customers and ensuring potential customers don’t seek out competitors due to missed calls.

Sole traders can focus on delivering quality work knowing their business enquiries are attended to professionally and promptly. A call answering service helps to capture more leads, prevent customer loss and maintain a competitive edge.

creative industries

The creative industry is fast paced and often time critical. A call answering service can offer valuable support in promptly responding to all incoming sales enquiries or customer queries, increasing customer satisfaction and capturing valuable leads. Appointment scheduling, product enquiries and customer support issues can be managed, freeing the sales team to focus on closing deals and strategic marketing efforts, or the creatives to keep their heads focused on ideas without interruption.

Professional call handling can help to maximise efficiency, improve lead generation and enhance customer relationships, leading to increased sales and business growth.

health & medical

The health and medical industry is highly responsive and must put the needs of its clients at the forefront. A call answering service offers valuable support by logging prescription requests, scheduling appointments and following up after clinic visits, streamlining administrative processes and enhancing patient care.

A call handling solution can also provide appointment reminders, reducing no-shows and improving efficiency. The service effectively manages excess calls during busy clinic times, ensuring smooth operations. Furthermore, with out-of-hours support, patients receive assistance when needed, enhancing their satisfaction and overall experience.

construction

A call answering service for the construction industry takes care of calls from employees, concerned residents, partner businesses, suppliers and customers, relieving the burden on internal resources. This allows key personnel to focus their time on-site and efficiently manage projects, improving productivity.

Construction businesses often operate 24/7. A call handling service ensures professional and timely responses to out-of-hours and emergency calls, enhancing customer satisfaction and maintaining a positive brand image. By entrusting call handling to experts, construction companies can streamline operations and optimise resource allocation, ultimately leading to improved project management and completion.

technology

Companies operating in the technology sector are problem solvers and must concentrate on the task at hand. Outsourcing customer call answering provides numerous benefits, such as guaranteeing all enquiries are picked up and technical support requests promptly addressed.

Professional call handlers can manage some troubleshooting and problem resolution, freeing up internal resources and allowing the team to focus on core technical tasks and projects. With the support of a call answering service, technical organisations can streamline operations, provide timely support and strengthen customer relationships.

I use SMARTstrat for both of my businesses and have always been impressed with their professionalism and how cost effective they are. We have 3 lines coming into the office and sometimes we cannot deal with all calls straight away and this is where SMARTstrat really works, they pick up our overflow calls which ensures our clients are dealt with immediately without having to leave messages.
