Stockport Plumbers

A local plumbing business in Stockport found themselves overwhelmed by incoming calls due to a loss in their office based staff, leading to some unhappy customers.

In an effort to find a solution, they approached Connect. We offered them a 30 day free trial of our call answering service. This meant we managed all their calls, recording messages and promptly directing pressing calls to the correct plumber.

The outcome?
A marked improvement in their customer service quality. No more complaints about missed calls and a notable uptick in service requests and business. This shift allowed them to focus on growing their team, rather than being burdened with call handling.
