Lauren Bateman recounts starting her solo teaching business and the difficulty of handling incoming calls while teaching. She describes teaching starting around 2:00 PM and often continuing into the evening (commonly until 9:00–10:00 PM), missing inquiries, and wishing she had hired a call-answering agency to collect caller information for later follow-up.

So if you have a brick and mortar business you could get a service that answers the phone for you. This was something that was very tricky for me. When I first started teaching it was just me. I had a website and people would call to inquire about lessons and if I was in a lesson I couldn't answer the phone. That was kind of rude or, you know, I'd very quickly say hi, my name is Lauren, can I get your name and number? I'll call you back. I'm just in the middle of a lesson right now and I wish that I had the foresight or know what I know now to say man, during those hours that I was teaching because I used to teach about 2 o' clock in the afternoon, sometimes till 9, 9 or 10 o' clock at night. Like man, I wish I had the foresight to hire an agency just to answer those calls, get the information so that I could follow up.
