NIGHT CALLS

Postby smile » 9 Jun 2006 4:03

ive recently set up a bussiness with another locksmith we are doing suprisingly well and ive had to divert the office calls to my mobile so we did not miss any calls . we run a 24/7 service but have have recived no night calls . ime not complaining but i am wondering what percentage of callouts a more seasoned outfit gets a night .
