Stop losing jobs to missed calls.

When you're on a job and can't pick up, the caller doesn't leave a voicemail — they call the next guy. We text them back in 5 seconds so the job stays yours.

No app to learn. No new number. Works with the phone you already have.

How it works

Set up once. It runs in the background on every call you can't catch.

1

A call comes in — you're busy

You're under a sink or on a roof. The call goes unanswered, like it does every day.

2

We text them back instantly

In about 5 seconds the caller gets a friendly text in your name: "Sorry I missed you — what do you need?"

3

You get the lead, not your competitor

Their reply forwards straight to your cell. You close the job when you're free — and we send a monthly report of what it recovered.

It books the job — not just a text back

The reply isn't a dead end. When they're ready, the system books them — and it lands on the calendar you already use.

1

They pick a real open time

The text-back offers your actual openings, pulled from your live calendar — no phone tag, no back-and-forth.

2

It books on the spot

The slot is reserved the moment they reply. No double-booking, no sticky notes on the dash.

3

It's on your calendar, synced

The job drops straight onto the calendar you already use — Google, your phone, whatever. Move or cancel it and it updates everywhere.

One saved job pays for months

These are people who just tried to hire you. Recovering even a couple a month changes the math.

typical return at a $1,500 ticket

A human receptionist runs $1,200–$2,500/mo and goes home at 5. This covers every missed call for a flat monthly rate.

Simple, flat pricing

No contracts. Cancel anytime. If it's not paying for itself, you walk.

A human receptionist runs $1,200–$2,500/mo and clocks out at 5. This covers every missed call, 24/7, for a flat $297 — plus a one-time $300 setup. One recovered job usually pays for months.

Straight answers

I already text people back when I get a chance.

When you're free, sure. This fires in 5 seconds while you're on the ladder — that's the exact window where they'd otherwise call the next shop.

Do I need a new phone or number?

No. It works with the number you already advertise. We set up call forwarding so the system only ever sees the calls you miss — your answered calls are untouched.

Does it actually work?

We show you exactly what it recovers each month. If it's not paying for itself, cancel — there's no lock-in.

Is $297 a lot?

It's one job. At a typical ticket it pays for several months the first time it saves a single call.
