Work Smart, Not Hard: Reclaim Your Time with JVR Virtual Receptionist

Imagine this: It’s a sunny afternoon, and instead of being tethered to your phone, you’re enjoying a relaxed lunch with family or taking a well-earned break in the Cotswolds. Sounds like a dream, right? For most small business owners, it is.

Running a business often means juggling endless tasks—answering calls, managing appointments, chasing leads, and somehow finding time to grow. But constantly answering the phone isn’t just draining your time; it’s costing you opportunities.

Up to 80% of calls from new customers go to voicemail—and most won’t leave a message.
Hiring a full-time receptionist costs £25,000–£30,000 a year.
Businesses lose billions due to bad customer service
73% of consumers will switch to a competitor after multiple bad customer service experiences.
96% of customers say customer service is important in their choice of loyalty to a brand.
35% of UK customers are willing to pay more for excellent customer service.
17.3% of UK customers reported a problem with customer service—the highest level ever recorded.
It takes 12 positive customer experiences to make up for one negative experience.

There’s a better way to grow your business without burning out. Work smart, not hard.

Enjoying holidays with your family
Focusing on sales and big-picture strategy
Launching that new service you’ve been too busy to plan
