AI Answering for Handymen: Catching the Calls You Miss on a Ladder
You Can't Answer From a Ladder
When you're on a ladder cleaning gutters or have both hands holding a TV against the wall, the phone rings and you let it go. Many callers don't leave a message; they call the next handyman.
What AI Answering Does
The AI Answering add-on answers your business line, talks with the caller, takes down what they need and their address, and can help book the work. You get the details in the app.
What It Costs
AI Answering is 49 cents a minute, with a lower volume rate of 29 cents a minute for heavier use. You only pay for the minutes it answers.
Good Uses
- Calls during jobs.
- After-hours calls.
- Overflow when you're on another call.
Set the Rules
Tell it what you do and don't do. A handyman who doesn't do roofing or major electrical should say so, so callers get a straight answer instead of a callback that goes nowhere.
