What the phone looks like for a Liverpool opticians
Liverpool and the wider Merseyside has a population of around 1.4 million, built on logistics, tourism and a strong base of family run trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a opticians working across the Baltic Triangle, Woolton and Crosby most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
An eye test booked elsewhere takes the spectacle sale with it, which is where the margin actually is.
Callwise answers on your own 0151 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.

Liverpool opticians ask us
Do we keep our 0151 number?
Yes. Your existing 0151 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 Liverpool customers reach you changes.
Do you work with opticians outside Liverpool?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Liverpool and everywhere across Merseyside 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.
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.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Liverpool 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.
