What the phone looks like for a Milton Keynes barbershop
Milton Keynes and the wider Buckinghamshire has a population of around 290,000, built on logistics, technology and a fast growing housing stock. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a barbershop working across Bletchley, Wolverton and Newport Pagnell most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Nobody rings a barber twice. If it is engaged they walk into the next shop.
Callwise answers on your own 01908 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.

Milton Keynes barbershops ask us
Do we keep our 01908 number?
Yes. Your existing 01908 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 Milton Keynes customers reach you changes.
Do you work with barbershops outside Milton Keynes?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Milton Keynes and everywhere across Buckinghamshire 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 are appointment free. Is it still useful?
Yes. Most calls are how busy are you, and answering that honestly keeps the customer coming rather than trying the shop next door.
Can it take bookings for weekends only?
It offers only the slots you release, so you can keep weekdays as walk ins and book Saturdays.
Will it cost more than it makes?
One extra customer a day at your prices covers it several times over.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Milton Keynes 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.
