A plumbing answering service that picks up on the first ring, gets the address and the problem, and books the job. Emergency calls do not wait for office hours, and now neither does your phone.
What your plumbing answering service handles
A caller with water coming through the ceiling rings the next plumber on the list. Answering first is the whole job.
