Spring arrived and the phones could not keep up
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Through the winter two lines were plenty. In April every homeowner in the county calls in the same fortnight, and half of them reach a busy tone.
What a consultant changes
An advisor moves the business to a phone system that grows in spring and shrinks in winter, with texting from the business number for the customers who prefer it. Seasonal businesses are exactly who benefits from a broker, because carriers write contracts for steady demand and somebody has to negotiate for yours.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for landscapers
- The advice
- An advisor recommends a phone system that scales with the season and supports texting from the business number, then compares providers on how easily seats can be added and removed.
- The price
- Seasonal flexibility is written into the agreement, so winter is not billed at spring levels. Crew mobile plans are priced for data and location use.
- The service
- Seats go up before the spring rush and down in autumn. The advisor makes the changes and checks the bill reflects them.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
