Stop losing jobs to voicemail. I’ll install the fix I built for my own shop.
AI phone answering, quote follow‑up and a morning numbers page — for HVAC, plumbing, electrical and appliance businesses with 1–25 techs. Set up by a contractor, not an agency.
I own an appliance repair company in Tampa. I built these three systems because I was losing calls, forgetting to chase quotes, and running my business from a gut feeling. Now I install the same three for other trade businesses. Same build every time. No custom software, no six‑month project, no developer to babysit.
The three things I install
1 · Never‑Miss Phone
$1,500 setup · $400/mo
- AI answers overflow and after‑hours calls in a natural voice
- Books the job straight into your CRM calendar (Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceM8, Workiz)
- Missed‑call text‑back within 30 seconds, every time
- Daily call summary to your phone
For: any shop where the phone rings while everyone is on a job.
2 · Follow‑Up Engine
$1,000 setup · $250/mo
- Quote sent → automatic 3‑touch follow‑up by text and email
- Job closed → Google review request, timed right
- Lead didn’t answer → polite sequence until they do
- Runs on Make.com — the same platform I run my own dispatch on
For: shops that send quotes and then forget about them.
3 · Morning Numbers
$1,200 setup · $200/mo
- One page, phone‑sized: yesterday’s calls, jobs booked, revenue, unpaid invoices
- Reads live from your CRM — nothing to type in
- Owner‑only view; no logins for the crew to forget
For: owners who want to know how the business did before the first cup of coffee.
The Ops Stack — all three
Phone answering, follow‑up and the morning page, installed together in about a week.
$2,500 setup · $600/mo founding price — first 5 clients only, then $4,000 · $900/mo
The monthly covers hosting, the AI phone minutes for a typical 1–5 tech shop, monitoring so I know before you do when something breaks, and a monthly report of what the system did.
How it works
-
15‑minute call. You tell me what’s broken in the office. I tell you honestly whether any of this will fix it. No pitch.
-
Kickoff, 20 minutes. You give me access to your CRM and phone system. That’s the last technical thing you’ll do.
-
Install, about 7 days. I build, test it on real calls, and turn it on after hours first so you can hear it work before it’s on the main line.
-
Then it runs. You get a text summary every morning and a report every month. If something breaks, I’m already on it.
Why me and not an agency
- I dispatch trucks. One tech, one dispatcher, real customers who want to know when someone’s coming. I know what a booking needs to contain because I take them.
- I built my own CRM. When the market ones didn’t fit my shop, I built one. I understand what your software is doing on the inside.
- My own shop is client zero. Every one of these systems runs on my company first. The numbers are public, and you can try the live booking brain yourself — type a job, watch it get parsed.
- No custom scope. You get exactly what’s listed above. That’s why it’s a week and not a quarter, and why the monthly price stays where it is.
Straight answers
- Will the AI sound like a robot?
- You’ll hear it before your customers do. If you don’t like it after the after‑hours trial, we stop and you owe nothing for the phone product.
- What if I use a CRM you didn’t list?
- Ask. If it has a calendar and an API, it almost certainly works. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you on the call.
- What if I only want one of the three?
- That’s fine — each one is priced on its own above. Most owners start with the phone.
- Is there a contract?
- Month to month after setup. Cancel any time; I’d rather earn the next month than lock you in.
- My shop is too small for this.
- If you’re a one‑person operation, you probably don’t need me yet. Read the guides, pick a $30/month tool, and come back when the phone is ringing more than you can answer.
Book the 15‑minute call
