Apollo Answering Service History
"If you would understand anything, observe it's beginning and it's development." - Aristotle
Apollo's answering service history begins with Gus Contello
Gus was a plumber. He worked day in and day out, and sometimes even nights to provide for his wife and five children. After many years of hard work he was able to start his own business! He was living the american dream!
Although Gus and his family went to bed in the evenings, shit never sleeps! So often times his wife, Bernice Contello would waking up in the middle of the night to answer the phone, from a customer calling for emergency service. Being the innovated woman that she was, she realized that if her husband needed help doing this, then so did other people.
But really Apollo's story is all about his wife, Bernice Contello
Bernice realized there was a great demand for live phone answering services! Just about every business could use one. So she began marinating on the idea of this new business. She had learned a lot over the years about how to run a business, while helping out with her husbands plumbing company.
After much planning, her simple little idea became a reality. Apollo Answering service was born in 1966!
