Most of your calls are people wanting an estimate. Miss one and it's a lost job — or a lead that's already talking to someone else by the time you call back.
Nearly every call starts the same way: someone wants a price, and wants you to come and look.
Your hands are full most of the day — up a ladder, behind a spray gun, or inside a customer's house where taking a call isn't an option.
Most of the calls you miss are estimate requests, and someone planning a paint job usually rings two or three painters. The first one to pick up and arrange a time to look is the one who gets to quote.
Nothing is on fire, so nobody leaves an urgent voicemail. They just call the next painter on the list.
“Hi — we're looking to get the outside of the house painted, and maybe the deck stained too. Could someone come out and give us a price?”
Same mechanism every time. It picks up so you don't have to.
Your number stays the same. Forwarding sends the call to the receptionist when you don't pick up — or always, if you'd rather.
Day, night, weekend, mid-job. It says up front that it's an automated assistant and that the call is transcribed (no audio is kept), then asks what's going on.
Name, number, address, and what they need — in the caller's own words. Then interior, exterior or both, any extras like trim, cabinets or a deck, and the timeline if they mention one.
Everything it captured, on your phone, while the caller is still waiting to hear from a painter. You call back when your hands are free.
Not a figure, not a range. The price is yours to give once you've seen the job.
No start date, no finish date, no time for you to come and look. It takes down their timeline and you confirm.
Which colour, which paint, which sheen — that conversation is yours.
Rot, mould, peeling — it writes down what the caller says and leaves the opinion to you.
Licence, insurance or warranty — only what's in your business profile, never anything more.
If asked, it says what it is.
Book a demo and we'll run it with your own business details — fifteen minutes, no obligation. You pick the voice, and if it doesn't sound right for a painter, we change it.
