The math nobody does
Every call you miss is a customer calling the next name on Google.
Somebody with water on the floor doesn't leave a voicemail. They call down the list until somebody picks up, and whoever picks up gets the job.
The fix is cheaper than a hire: get the phone answered while you're doing the work.
5 missed calls. 5 customers who may already be talking to someone else.
Don't take our word for it
Call it yourself before your customers do.
You've heard the pitch before, probably from an answering service that billed you for hang-ups. So skip ours. Forward your number, call it from your cell, and ask it what your most difficult customer would ask.
If it fumbles, you've lost ten minutes and no money.
Three ways to try to trip it up
Mumble your address.
It reads the address back before it books anything. If it isn't sure, it asks again instead of guessing.
Ask for a service you don't offer.
It says so plainly and offers to take a message. It won't invent a service, a price, or an opening you don't have.
Say it's an emergency.
Your cell rings. You decide what counts as urgent, and those calls go straight through to you.
No IT department required

One job pays for four months.
Plans start at $79 a month. If it books one $340 job you would have missed, it's covered the next four months. There's one price each month and nothing billed by the minute, so a spam call or a hang-up never costs you a cent.
