Every missed call is a job your competitor just booked.
Here's what we'd build for a plumbing company that can't get to every ring — and how the same idea works for any business whose phone is the front door.
A worked example, not a past project. We haven't built this for the company described — it's an illustration of what we'd build for yours. The numbers come from industry research; on a call, we'd use your real ones.
The leak isn't your work. It's your phone.
Industry studies suggest roughly a quarter of calls to home-service businesses never get picked up — you're on a job, it's after hours, or the office is slammed.
Most callers don't leave a message. They hang up and call the next plumber on the list. The job isn't lost later — it's lost in the first sixty seconds.
A typical plumbing service call runs hundreds of dollars — emergencies far more. A handful of missed calls a week quietly adds up to tens of thousands a year.
The customer never knows you missed the call.
A missed call texts the customer back instantly
The moment a call goes unanswered, the customer gets a text: "Sorry we missed you — what's going on with your plumbing?" They start talking to you instead of dialing your competitor.
The conversation books the job
Name, address, and the problem get captured automatically. Your office gets an alert, and the job lands on the calendar — even if the phone was missed at 9pm.
You see exactly what was saved
A simple weekly tally: how many calls were missed, how many were rescued by text, and how many turned into booked jobs. You'll know what it's worth in dollars, not guesses.
