Hickory at work

Why Hickory businesses can't afford a missed call

Sitting in the Blue Ridge foothills, Hickory built its name on furniture, hosiery, and fiber-optic cable manufacturing that still runs through much of the region. The Unifour's mountain-edge climate and aging housing stock keep HVAC, roofing, and repair crews steadily working.

In a market like this, the phone is the front door — and it rings when crews are on a job, after hours, and all at once during a busy stretch. Nationally, 62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered, and 78% of customers hire whoever responds first. AZMUTHE makes sure the Hickory business that answers first is yours.
