Prices
Your receptionist answers the phone, WhatsApp, web chat, Facebook and texts, and books jobs into your diary. You don’t build anything. We set her up with you, listen to how she’s doing, and change her whenever your prices, hours or services change.
Every plan answers around the clock, seven days a week. The difference is how many calls and messages it covers and how much follow-up it does for you.

We build your receptionist with you, test her on real calls and switch her on, at no extra cost.
One price each month for the year, with setup, tuning and changes included.
We tell you at 80% and 90% of your allowance. Past it, calls are 15p to 20p a minute and she keeps answering.
Your services, prices, areas and hours, in your words. You answer a questionnaire and we do the rest.
We read how her calls went, fix anything she got wrong, and update her when your business changes. Changes beyond an hour a month are £45 an hour, agreed with you before we start.
Bookings land in the calendar you already use, on your phone.
Divert your calls to her when you’re busy, or all the time. Or we give you a local number.
What came in, what she booked, and who’s waiting to hear from you.
Anthony and Bobby. Ring or email us, and you’ll get one of us.

Time on the phone with your receptionist. Most calls take two or three minutes, so 150 minutes is roughly 60 calls. A quick “are you open Saturday?” call might be under a minute.
One customer’s chat with her on WhatsApp, your website, Facebook or by text, however many messages it takes, within a day.
Yes. Most people divert their calls to her when they’re busy or out of hours. Diverting is usually covered by your phone package. On some pay-as-you-go lines your phone company charges for it, so check with them first and we’ll help you set it up.
Nothing stops. We let you know when you’re at 80% and 90%, and anything over is charged at your plan’s rate. If it keeps happening, we’ll suggest the plan that works out cheaper.
Yes, 12 months, paid monthly. In return there’s no setup fee, and the building, testing and tuning are all included.
Not at the moment. The prices you see are what you pay.
