Work-From-Home: Answering Service Businesses
How to Obtain Clients
The closer you are to a large metropolitan area, the greater your
potential for income in a home–based answering service. However, small
towns are also in need of your services. Many of the businesses may be owned
and run by a sole proprietor who spends the bulk of the day outside the
office and away from the phone. Virtually anyone who works away from his or
her business might have need for an answering service. Salespeople, repair
services, people on call (like towing services), survey organizations and
firms that might use the computer–based automatic dialing system are all
potential clients to whom you can offer your phone services.
The phone book, the local newspaper, the small “Pennysaver” type of
publications and community bulletin boards are all places where you can find
the type of business most likely to be interested in your service. This will
give you a solid local list with which to begin your prospecting.
The businesses that can utilize your ability to advertise for them using
the phone are substantial, and include:
- Retail stores
- Credit agencies
- Restaurants
- Wedding services
- Modeling
schools
- Furniture stores
- Employment agencies
- Collection agencies
- Financial
service firms
- Hotels
- Dance schools
- Carpet cleaners
- Car washes
- Video stores
-
Travel agencies
- Pet services
You will probably start out with a few message
service contracts, requiring only a few lines, but you could easily work
your way up to dozens of lines and services. Remember to ask your early
clients for referrals to others whom they may feel could use your service.
Your existing clients are the best source for leads!
