Why opticians miss so many calls
An eye test booked elsewhere takes the spectacle sale with it, which is where the margin actually is.
When the phone rings out
- while staff are in the test room or dispensing
- Saturdays, the busiest day of the week
- the hour after closing, when people finish work
What they are ringing about
- booking an eye test
- whether glasses are ready to collect
- a broken frame that needs fixing today
What that costs a single site
£12,400
a month, on conservative assumptions
About 30 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 10 a week, and one customer is worth £290 to a opticians. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.
Built around how a opticians actually works
Books eye tests into the right length slot
Answers is my order ready without interrupting the floor
Takes contact lens reorders
Handles NHS voucher questions
It tells callers what it is
It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a opticians that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.
What opticians ask us
Can it tell someone whether their glasses are ready?
If your order system can be checked, it can answer directly. Otherwise it takes the details and someone confirms, which still beats an unanswered phone.
Will it book the right length of appointment?
Yes. Contact lens checks, full tests and OCT appointments can each have their own duration and rules.
Does it handle NHS entitlement questions?
It answers from the guidance you give it and books the test. Anything unusual goes to your team.
