Same desk, different phone
Trades and clinics
These pages do not rank a vendor for your trade. They say what the phone is for, what to ask, and where the comparison and the calculator are.
Plumbers
The phone rings while you are under a sink or driving to the next job. The caller may be a leak, a quote, or someone who will try the next number if you do not pick up.
Electricians
Some calls are a quote for a consumer unit. Some are a loss of power. The person on the tools cannot always tell which until somebody has taken the address and the symptom.
Dentists
A dental phone line mixes new-patient questions, routine bookings, and someone in pain. The costly miss is usually the caller who needed a slot and rang the next practice.
Salons
Saturday's book fills while you are with a client. The caller wants a named stylist, a length of appointment, and a straight answer on whether you can fit them in.
