Negotiators are out, not in

Sound familiar?
Your team spends the day at viewings and valuations. A phone system built around desk handsets misses most of the calls that matter.
A buyer who has enquired on a portal is ringing several agents. The first to answer usually gets the viewing.
Weekend calls are the busiest of the week and the easiest to miss, and a Monday callback is often too late.
Chasing feedback and keeping vendors informed is phone work, and it competes with everything else in the day.
Sales and lettings, or two branches, should feel like one business to the caller rather than two switchboards.
Negotiators giving out personal numbers means calls follow them on holiday and leave with them if they do.
How we approach it
Your negotiators are at viewings and valuations, and the enquiries that matter arrive while they are out. A desk-based phone system loses those calls by design.
How we help
One number reaches whoever is available, on desk or mobile, without anyone giving out a personal number.
Overflow and out-of-hours handling so Saturday enquiries reach a person rather than voicemail.
Callers reach the right team first time, and branches operate as one system rather than two.
Business SIMs with the coverage to handle calls and portal apps between viewings.
What you get
On your doorstep
Bolton throws up the most awkward cabling we see, and that is mostly the mills.
A great many of them are now subdivided into small units housing everything from workshops to studios, and running data through a building like that properly takes planning rather than a day rate. At the other end of the borough, Logistics North is distribution at a scale that needs coverage designed across a whole site. In between sit the professional and civic firms in the town centre. With a spread-out borough and heavy motorway links, mobile matters as much as the fixed line. We are about forty-five minutes via the M6 and M61.
Common questions
Give them the office number on their phone. A mobile app presents the business number for outbound calls and rings for inbound, so clients never see a personal number and the relationship stays with the agency rather than the individual.
Yes. Calls can route to an on-call mobile, an overflow service or an AI receptionist that takes the details and books a callback. Given buyers usually ring several agents, answering first is often the whole advantage.
Yes, with callers routed by menu or by the number they dialled, so each team gets its own calls while the business presents one front. It also means cover between the two when one side is stretched.
Nothing, if the calls were never on their personal phone. The number, the call history and the client relationship stay with the agency, and you reassign the extension rather than chasing a handset.
Yes. Multi-branch agencies are a common setup for us, with one system across sites, internal calls between branches at no cost, and the ability to move calls to wherever there is someone free.
