The Challenge
Having built and sold over 100,000 homes across the country, Redrow Homes are one of the largest residential developers in the UK. With this status, comes a huge amount of pressure to build and sell homes quickly to a high standard.
To ensure their ambitious sales business targets are met, it is vital their Sales and Marketing suites are ready for launch from day one. Redrow Homes tasked UK Connect with ensuring a number of Sales and Marketing suites across their Northern regions had a reliable network connection installed to enable their employees to communicate with colleagues, suppliers and importantly prospective customers to make the all-important sales, via the Internet and voice calls.
The Solution
UK Connect provided Redrow Homes with fibre-speed broadband and a VoIP solution to their regional Sales and Marketing suites. This offered Redrow Homes’ employees a feature-rich, bespoke voice system enabling all staff to stay in touch with customers, suppliers and colleagues alike.
As it is a cloud-based VoIP telephony solution, it is cheaper than traditional landline and enables teams to connect and collaborate in the ways that work best for them, through VoIP Calls, conference calls, call recording, IVR systems and call reporting to name a few of the features available. This would enable Redrow Homes to boost their sales and marketing performance, deliver effective campaigns and sell new developments faster. For example, the VoIP phone lines enabled their staff to have incoming and outgoing calls at the early stages of development, enabling staff to do their job effectively and begin the sales process early.
What’s more, the installations were done within an hour on each development, accompanied with in-depth staff training on how to get the best out of the solution.
And as if this wasn’t enough, all staff I.T. devices and equipment were set-up for them from printers to laptops and card machines, with the promise that UK Connect were only a phone call away should anyone wish to speak to their dedicated, in-house technical team for future ongoing support.
Quick installation of UK Connect’s Cellular Broadband and VoIP services meant Redrow Homes were able to open their Sales and Marketing suites sooner than planned, which is key to any sales driven business.
Redrow Homes were able to receive reports and statistics as and when required to monitor and improve their sales and marketing activity. All of this took place whist keeping in contact with their dedicated UK Connect Account Manager, who was on hand to provide ongoing support and solutions for any new connectivity requirements.
