Why a missed call costs a carpentry business more than most
Stopping a cut to answer the phone is how fingers and boards get lost.
Decks, stairs and built-ins are large jobs that start with a single phone call.
Contractors who sub work to you need a shop that picks up.
It already knows how to take a carpentry call
You are not writing a script. This is what it asks a carpentry caller from the first call, and you can change any of it in your portal.
What it takes down
- The caller’s name and the best number to reach them on
- The address where the work is needed
- What the problem is, in their own words
- How long it has been going on
- Whether anyone is on site now, and the best time to attend
What it treats as urgent
Structural damage, or anything that has made part of a building unsafe to use.
When a caller says one of your emergency words, the AI tells them to hold and rings your cell. If you cannot take it, it comes back and takes the message rather than dropping them.
