What the phone looks like for a Portsmouth tree surgery company
Portsmouth and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 550,000, built on defence, maritime and a dense terraced housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a tree surgery company working across Southsea, Fratton and Cosham most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Storm calls come all at once and go to whoever picks up, because a tree on a car will not wait for a call back.
Callwise answers on your own 023 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.

Portsmouth tree surgery companies ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 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 Portsmouth customers reach you changes.
Do you work with tree surgery companies outside Portsmouth?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Portsmouth and everywhere across Hampshire 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.
We use chainsaws all day. Is answering realistic?
Not for you, which is the point. Tree surgery has close to the worst answer rate of any trade and the highest concentration of calls into a few storm days.
Can it handle emergencies?
Trees down, trees on buildings and anything blocking a road can all be set as urgent and reach you immediately.
Does it ask about preservation orders?
It can. Adding a TPO question to the script saves a wasted visit on protected trees.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Portsmouth 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.
