What the phone looks like for a Edinburgh driving school
Edinburgh and the wider the Lothians has a population of around 900,000, built on finance, tourism and a large stock of period property. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a driving school working across Leith, Morningside and Stockbridge most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A learner who cannot get through simply rings the next school, and a pupil is worth a year of lessons.
Callwise answers on your own 0131 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Edinburgh driving schools ask us
Do we keep our 0131 number?
Yes. Your existing 0131 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Edinburgh customers reach you changes.
Do you work with driving schools outside Edinburgh?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Edinburgh and everywhere across the Lothians is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
I am in a car all day. How would I ever answer?
You would not, and neither does anybody else in the trade, which is why a pupil worth around a thousand pounds routinely goes to whoever picked up.
Can it manage a waiting list?
Yes. It takes the details and tells them honestly how long the wait is, which keeps people on your list rather than sending them elsewhere.
What about intensive courses?
It captures the test date and current experience, which is everything you need to say yes or no.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Edinburgh customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
