Could your firm be missing out on new clients? 1 in 3 calls to UK businesses go unanswered – and this could be having more of an impact than you might first think.
Most clients’ first connection with a firm is a phone call. This is where they’ll make a judgment of your firm and hopefully move business along with you. But what if their call isn’t answered? They’re left hanging and will usually try the next law firm – your competitor.
It occurs more frequently than you think
A third of all calls to businesses aren’t answered at all. Either their receptionists are too busy or other staff aren’t picking up the slack. We know that 1 in 10 calls to a law firm is from someone making a brand new enquiry. Remember – a third of these calls could be going unanswered. That’s business you’re missing out on.
At Moneypenny, we’re on a mission to close the ‘telephone answering gap’.
What do your missed calls say about you?
Over and above missed business, continually missing calls could also mean a tarnished reputation. Unanswered calls leave clients feeling unimportant, disgruntled and turning to your competitors – all the while voicing their negative experience with your firm.
With Moneypenny, we guarantee an excellent first impression and are delighted with the service we offer our clients.
