The call you just missed

You were always going to miss that one.

Nobody loses work on purpose. You lose it because your hands were full, and the person ringing you had a second name on their list.

  • A plumber's gloved hands gripping a waste pipe with pliers under a sinkMissed call, 10:42

    You're under a sink.

    It rings out. They ring the next plumber, and that one picks up.

  • A practitioner marking up a client's face during a treatment in a clinic roomMissed call, 13:15

    You're mid-treatment.

    You can't stop halfway. By five o'clock she has booked somewhere else.

  • An electrician's hands cutting cable inside an open consumer unitMissed call, 16:08

    You're elbow deep in a fuse board.

    You'll ring back tonight. Tonight, they have already had a quote.

What it’s costing you

How many did you catch?

Four quick questions about your week. We’ll show you what those missed calls are worth, using your numbers, not ours, with every step of the sum on screen.

The mechanism

What actually happens when your phone rings.

Handing your phone to someone else is handing over your first impression. So here is every step of it, in order.

  1. 01

    Your phone diverts to us

    You keep your number. When you're busy, or after hours, or always, it comes to us instead of to voicemail.

  2. 02

    We answer in your business name

    Not "hello, answering service". Your name, your greeting, from the script we wrote with you.

  3. 03

    We handle it, we don't just note it

    The question gets answered from your FAQs. The job gets booked. The enquiry gets qualified. The urgent one gets put straight through to you.

  4. 04

    It goes where you keep things

    Into your calendar, or your CRM, so it exists somewhere other than a scrap of paper.

  5. 05

    You get the message

    Email and text, with the detail you actually need. Usually before the caller has put the phone down.

Before we answer anything

We build your reception desk first.

The reason a stranger can answer your phone well is that they aren't working from a blank page. Before your first call, we sit down and build the thing that makes it sound like you.

Yours. If you ever leave, you take it with you.

Who’s behind it

Someone has to pick up. It may as well be someone who cares that it’s your name.

I started Reception Hub because I kept meeting people running good businesses who were losing work for a reason that had nothing to do with how good they were. They were busy. The phone rang. That was it.

So we do the unglamorous part. We learn your business properly, we answer in your name, and we treat the person on the line like they matter, because to you they do.

“We’ll pick up. You crack on.”

Who it's for

If your phone matters, this works.

Different businesses get different calls. Pick yours and here's what we do with them.

The calls you get

Emergencies, quote requests, and a lot of people who just want a rough price before they'll book anything.

What we do with them

Answer while you're on the tools, price-qualify the tyre-kickers, book the real ones into your diary, and put the genuine emergency straight through to you.

Questions

The things people ask before they sign up.

  • Is this AI, or an actual person?

    An actual person. No bots, no voice menus, no "press one for sales". If your customer rings you, a human being answers.

  • Where are you based?

    Wath upon Dearne, South Yorkshire. Not offshore. You can come and see the office if you like.

  • Am I tied into a contract?

    No. It's rolling monthly and you can cancel any time. The first 7 days are free, so you can hear it before you pay anything.

  • Do you answer in my business name?

    Yes, that's the whole point. Your name, your greeting, your script. Most callers never work out they haven't come through to your office.

  • What happens if I go over my included calls?

    You pay per extra call, and the rate is on the pricing page: £2.00 on Light and Essential, £1.75 on Growth, £1.50 on Premium. We publish it because a surprise bill is the fastest way to lose you.

  • What hours do you answer?

    Light and Essential cover business hours. Growth and Premium add evenings and weekends. Note that our office hours and the hours we answer your phone are two different things, and the second is longer.

  • What happens on day one?

    We build your reception desk before we answer anything: your call script, your FAQs, who gets put through and who gets a message, your calendar, your CRM. That's the one-off setup, from £49.50, down from £99.

  • Can you book appointments straight into my calendar?

    Yes, from Growth upwards. We work in your calendar, so what you see on your phone is what actually happened.

  • Can you update my CRM?

    Yes, on Premium. Calls go into your system, not onto a notepad.

  • What happens to my customers' details?

    They're handled in line with UK GDPR, kept secure, used only to do the job you've asked us to do, and shared with nobody but you.

  • What if a call is genuinely urgent?

    We set the escalation rules with you during setup, so we know exactly which calls get put straight through and which ones can wait until you're off the job.

  • What if I'm on holiday?

    Tell us, and we'll handle it the way you want it handled. That's what the escalation rules are for.

  • Do I have to change my phone number?

    No. You keep your number and divert it to us, either always or only when you're busy. You can turn it on and off.

  • How do I try it?

    Start the free trial. 7 days, no card, and if it isn't for you, you stop and you've lost nothing.

Hear it for yourself, free, for a week.

Seven days of a real person answering in your business name. No card, no contract, and nothing to cancel if you'd rather not carry on.
