Your working day

Where your time goes

Three moments from a normal working day

01

Calls in the middle of a job

Customers ask about dates and prices while you're in the middle of a job

The job stalls and the evening goes on callbacks

02

A bill that comes as a surprise

Customers only find out about the call-out charge and minimum time when they get the bill

You end up arguing over the bill and giving a discount

03

Quotes that go nowhere

The visit and the costing take an evening, and some people only compare prices

Unpaid hours every week

Solution

What your agent does

We set it up with your services, rates, working hours and your rules for emergencies

Phone

Answers while you work

It answers questions about bookings and services and takes down every request with address and number, so you only ring back when needed

Rates

Gives prices before the job

The customer hears your hourly rate, call-out charge and minimum time up front, exactly as you set them

Emergencies

Separates emergencies from routine jobs

For a leak or a broken heating system, whoever is on call gets a text with the customer's address and number at once

Site visit

Books site visits

For repairs and replacements it checks the scope and timing and puts the visit in your calendar; the quote stays with you

Example

A call in the middle of a job

The agent answers, gives your rates and books the customer, and you get the complete request
