A phone system should make the business reachable without making the team chase calls. We define the numbers, greetings, routing by time and department, voicemail handling and escalation. The configuration is documented so a new team member can understand it, and the owner controls the account and number portability.
The problem it addresses
Calls ring the owner's mobile at all hours, and missed calls are not tracked or returned.
Who it is for
Businesses using personal mobile numbers or a phone system nobody can explain.
What the engagement produces
- A call flow diagram with hours and routing rules
- A configured system with tested greetings and escalation
- A number, account and administration register
How the work runs
- 01
Scope
Confirm the situation, the decision to be made, responsibilities, fees and what is explicitly out of scope. Third-party costs are identified before work begins.
- 02
Work
Interview the people closest to the work, review the records that exist, build the change and test it against real exceptions rather than a demo.
- 03
Handoff
Document what was built, train the owner, record open items and define whether ongoing support is needed. The business should not depend on Nexus to operate the result.
What it does not do
Stated before the engagement so the scope is honest. Additional requirements are scoped and confirmed in writing.
- Telephony subscriptions and usage charges are billed by the provider.
- Number portability and availability are controlled by carriers.
- Software licences, telephony charges and messaging fees are billed by their providers and are separate from Nexus fees.
- Ongoing support is provided under a defined scope and response window, not unlimited availability.
