Common Questions

Before You Retain The Office Manager

How quickly is The Office Manager up and running?

Call Answering is live within the week. We configure everything — you simply forward your calls to the number we provide. Each subsequent capability is installed and activated over the following months.

Do I need any technical knowledge?

None. We handle all configuration, API connections, and setup. Your only job is to check the dashboard each morning and act on what The Office Manager flags. That is the entire workflow.

Can I upgrade from piecemeal to the full retainer?

Yes, at any time. Many clients start with Call Answering, see the results within the first month, and upgrade to the full annual retainer. We adjust the billing accordingly and activate the remaining capabilities on schedule.

What happens to my data if I pause?

Your data remains intact. The moment you reinstate the retainer, the dashboard reactivates and all capabilities resume. Nothing is lost — everything picks up where it left off.

Is this right for my type of business?

The Office Manager is built for UK tradespeople and SMEs with an existing customer base and a regular flow of enquiries. If you are receiving calls, sending quotes, completing jobs, and raising invoices — there is work to be done.

What does the annual retainer include exactly?

Everything: all ten capabilities installed progressively over twelve months, the dashboard from day one, full onboarding and configuration, and all platform costs (Twilio, ElevenLabs, and connected services).
