The calls that come in after you close still get answered.

You didn't lose that call to a competitor. You lost it to voicemail.

What changes

After you close, the calls that would have gone to voicemail get answered by an automated receptionist. Plainly, that's what it is: not a person, not a call center, a receptionist that picks up after hours. It answers with your business name, asks what the caller needs, where they are, and when they need it, and takes their number. Then it either books the job or sends you the details, your choice.

Two calls at once still both get answered. You wake up to a list of people who need work, not a voicemail box. You get a text for every call it takes, and a list of all of them each month.

It's set up not to quote prices or promise anything you haven't told it.

What doesn't change

During business hours, your phone rings exactly the way it does now. Your people answer it. The receptionist only picks up outside the hours you set. Your number, your voicemail, your daytime operation: none of it is touched.

Why off-hours only, at first

If you've never had one of these answer your phone, you probably don't trust it. That's fair. We wouldn't either.

So the first step is only the calls you're already losing: the ones after close that were going to voicemail and then to a competitor. It never touches your daytime operation. If, after a few months, you want it answering during the day too, that's a separate conversation, and you set the pace.

Hear it before you decide

On the call, we put it on the line with you. You call in like it's eight at night and you need someone tomorrow. You hear the whole thing, start to finish, before anyone talks about money.
