Where trade businesses lose money

Missed calls

Missed call = lost revenue

Every missed call after hours is a potential customer calling your competitor instead. Evenings, weekends, holidays, all lost revenue opportunities.

Slow response

Slow response = dead leads

A potential customer calls multiple businesses before deciding. When you call back three hours later, they've already booked someone else.

No follow-up

No follow-up = wasted quotes

You send a quote, mean to follow up Day 2, forget. Remember Day 5, too busy. Try on Day 10, but the customer has already hired someone else.

Bad enquiries

Bad enquiry = lost time

Unqualified enquiries steal hours weekly from actual work. Calls about jobs outside your area, enquiries for services you don't offer, time-wasters wanting free advice.

Queue chaos

Multiple calls = queue chaos

Peak periods mean queue chaos as single receptionists are overwhelmed. That leads to frustrated customers immediately calling competitors who answer instantly.

Inbound & Outbound

Your own AI voice agent for every call

Call Answering & Triage

Answers every call within two rings in a natural tone that's indistinguishable from a real person, understanding regional accents and trade-specific terminology.

Handles enquiries like
  • "I need a quote for a new boiler"
  • "My roof's leaking, can you come today?"
  • "Do you work in my area?"
  • "How much do you charge?"
  • "I want to book a loft conversion survey"
โœ…

Lead Qualification

Screens every caller against your specific lead criteria before they reach you, so you only speak to prospects worth your time.

Filters you can set
  • Location: "We only cover within 25 miles of Watford"
  • Budget: "Kitchen refits start from ยฃ12,000"
  • Timeline: "We're booking new installs 4-6 weeks out"
  • Scope: "We don't do commercial work"
๐Ÿ“…

Real-Time Appointment Booking

Books jobs directly into your calendar during the call. No phone tag, no double-bookings.

Integrates with
  • ServiceM8, Tradify, Jobber, Fergus
  • Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar
  • Calendly, Acuity Scheduling
  • HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Salesforce
๐Ÿ’ท

Pricing Information & Estimates

Provides ballpark pricing based on your rules, manages expectations, and filters budget-mismatched enquiries so you stop quoting ยฃ500 jobs for ยฃ5,000 work.

๐Ÿšจ

Emergency Triage

Escalates genuine emergencies and schedules routine work efficiently, so you're not woken at 2am for non-urgent enquiries.

Triage logic
  • "My house is flooding" โ†’ immediate dispatch + human callback within 5 minutes
  • "Boiler's noisy but working" โ†’ standard booking within 48 hours
  • "Planning a bathroom reno" โ†’ site survey 1-2 weeks out
๐Ÿ”„

Seamless Human Transfer

Complex or sensitive situations transfer instantly with full context, so you pick up knowing exactly what's happening. No "can you start from the beginning?"

๐Ÿ“ฒ

Database Reactivation

Turns your dormant database into active revenue with automated outbound calling to past customers and old leads who never booked.

๐Ÿ“†

Appointment Reminders

Automated reminder calls drastically reduce no-shows. Customers who can't make it cancel in advance, giving you time to fill the slot.

The Payoff

FAQs

Common questions

Can we customise the voice or personality?

Yes. During setup we match your brand voice, professional and formal vs. friendly and casual. We customise wording, tone, how your voice agent introduces itself, and how it handles different situations. The result feels like an extension of your business, not a generic robot.

How does it handle complex or angry customers?

The AI detects when a situation needs human intervention (angry tone, a request for a manager, complex technical questions, or complaints) and escalates to you or your team with full context.

Will customers know it's an AI voice agent?

Our voice agents sound natural and handle UK accents perfectly, so most customers don't realise, and those who do appreciate getting instant help instead of waiting for a reply. Get in touch for a quick demonstration.

What if the AI gives wrong information?

It only uses the details you provide, including pricing, service areas, processes and job specifics. It doesn't guess. If a customer asks something outside its stored knowledge, it escalates to you or your team with full context.

What if someone has a strong accent or speaks unclearly?

Our agents handle UK regional accents very well. If the AI genuinely can't understand someone after a few attempts, it escalates: "I'm having trouble understanding, let me connect you with someone who can help."

Is it a cost-effective solution?

Yes. Voice agents handle multiple calls simultaneously with no busy signal or hold queues. Whether nine customers call at once during a busy morning or one calls at midnight, every caller is answered instantly with zero wait time.

What's the difference between an AI receptionist, an answering service and a virtual PA?

They overlap. A traditional answering service just takes a message; our AI receptionist actually answers, qualifies and books the call into your diary in real time. If you also need admin support beyond the phone (chasing quotes, managing your calendar, handling messages), see our virtual PA service, which combines voice agents with workflow automation.
