A familiar moment

The birthday dinner needing something memorable between courses

You are performing at another event when a host calls about close-up magic for a birthday dinner at home. Ziverly can record the date, venue area, event type, guest numbers, broad age range without unnecessary information about children, proposed timings, indoor or outdoor setting, preferred performance style, accessibility, space, parking and other entertainment or catering context. It does not confirm availability, recommend supervision arrangements, make safeguarding or venue-safety claims, decide licensing or music permissions, quote, accept a deposit or book the event. Immediate welfare or venue hazards remain with the host and appropriate competent people.

The useful handover

Enough context to respond properly.

The aim is to welcome the caller, gather the details you decide matter and keep the same enquiry easy to follow until the work is resolved.

  • Who is calling and how to reach them.
  • What they need help with and where.
  • What should happen next, without inventing a response time.

Where the pressure tends to gather

Make space for the work without leaving the caller in the dark.

Think about the calls that interrupt you most often. Ziverly can follow the questions and boundaries you choose, then leave the details ready for your judgement.

The performance has to fit the event

Guest numbers, ages, timings, layout, catering and other entertainment influence how a proposal may be shaped.

A call can arrive during the strongest moment

You should not have to step away from the guests in front of you to protect a future enquiry.

Interest is not a confirmed date

The host can be welcomed warmly without being told that the diary, price or booking is settled.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption now, a clearer thread afterwards.

The event brief is ready after the show

See date, venue, audience, timings, style, space and supporting-supplier context before replying.

Your diary remains yours

Approved wording can explain your enquiry process without confirming availability, fees, supervision or booking.

The missing event detail can persist

Add the running-order, guest-number or performance-space question you need for that host's next call.

Hope, The Encourager

For someone looking for private close-up magic enquiries, a warm acknowledgement can reassure them that their enquiry has been heard, even when you cannot answer immediately.

Before, during and after the call

From first ring to finished follow-up.

Ziverly can do more than take a message. You stay in control of when it answers, how you hear about each call and what context is available if the customer rings again.

  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    See the event date, venue, audience, timings, preferred style, space and access in the App or through your enabled alerts.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add the approved running-order, guest-number or performance-space question so Ziverly can use it when the host rings again.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    After the current performance and equipment are complete and secure, verify your PIN to hear which event enquiries await a response.

Use your own numbers

What might unanswered calls represent for your business?

If an average event is worth around £450 to your business, even one suitable enquiry can be worth understanding properly. Replace that example with your own figures below.

The result is an illustration based only on what you enter. It is not a forecast, a promise that Ziverly will recover the work or a reason to accept an unsuitable job.

Enquiries represented by your figures 0 Monthly work value represented £0

This simple multiplication does not account for timing, capacity, costs, cancellations, repeat work or whether another response would have changed the outcome.

Useful boundaries for call handling

Let Ziverly gather details without overstepping your expertise.

No general licence; safeguarding, performance and music rights, insurance and venue safety should be addressed.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

What would you want to know before starting?

Use these answers to decide where Ziverly could help and where the conversation should always return to you.

Can Ziverly confirm that the magician is free?

No. It records the event brief; diary checks and availability remain with you.

Will it recommend supervision or safeguarding arrangements?

No. The host and relevant responsible people retain supervision, welfare and venue-safety decisions.

Can it take a deposit or book the performance?

No. Fees, terms, payments, acceptance and booking stay with your business.

Try the smallest useful version

Begin with the calls that interrupt your working day most often.

Choose what Ziverly should know, what it should never promise and which details make a follow-up genuinely useful. Creating an account is free, so you can look around before deciding when you want Ziverly to handle a call.

No monthly or annual plan is required and there is no fixed-term commitment. Add pay-as-you-go credit only when you are ready to use it.
