Buy yourself some breathing space with a call answering service.

The humble telephone. It's not hard to use is it? It's one of the mainstays of modern communications. One of the most useful items in the whole office. But if you run your own business, you might end up cursing it? Why? Because it never stops going off and there's only you to answer it!

Starting out by yourself is a brave and challenging thing to do. You have enough problems, obstacles and headaches to deal with already. Some extra staff would be great, but it's all a bit chicken and egg. You haven't made enough sales to pay anyone else a salary. So back to the phone. You can't be around to answer it all the time, so what happens when prospective customers ring up and they can't get hold of anyone? An outsourced call answering service allows you the luxury of a receptionist, without having to pay the costs and salary. Calls are routed through to a call centre where you own dedicated virtual receptionist can take them on your behalf and relay any messages back to you. But why stop at call answering?

Using the same principles you could get help with telemarketing services. Just keeping your existing customers happy is a full time job, never mind acquiring new ones. Outsourced telemarketing services give you access to an outbound sales team who can undertake sales campaigns on your behalf – while you get on with your job. At the end of each week you'll have new leads and appointments to follow up. It's extremely cost effective and flexible. Try it out for a month and see how you go. If you don't like it you don't have to carry on, so there's far less risk than in taking staff on yourself. So maybe it's time to get a helping hand. You've taken your business this far, now to kick on to the next level , a little support will go a long way.
