0012 - Answer the Phone: The Simplest Business Lesson I Ignored Too Long

Phones are one of the most overlooked parts of running a small business, and for a long time, mine was a problem. In this episode of the PrintFam Podcast, Daniel from CLT Geek and I talk through why I hate answering the phone, how spam calls and interruptions kill focus, and why not answering calls absolutely costs you real business.We break down a simple, affordable phone setup using GoHighLevel, a cordless analog phone, and an ATA adapter, plus when it makes sense to use a live answering service instead of hiring in-house. The takeaway is simple: just answering the phone can win you business you never expected. We also talk about automation, text options, and how to stop the owner from being the bottleneck.GoHighLevel (CRM + phone system) - https://dtnay.com/ghlATA adapter (analog telephone adapter) - https://dtnay.com/ataCLT Geek (Daniel’s company) - https://www.cltgeek.com/#7✨Helpful Links:Website: https://timetomakesomething.comPayment Processor: https://dtnay.com/paymentsMy CRM: https://dtnay.com/ghlAmazon Store: https://dtnay.com/amazonSome links are affiliate links.
