Questions Contractors Ask Us First

No. It attaches to your existing business number. You keep answering calls exactly like now — this only fires when you don’t.

Your business number — or a local number registered to your business if your carrier setup requires it. I’ll tell you which before we start.

One 15-minute call, done personally by me — most contractors are live the same day. If your number needs carrier registration, it can take a few business days; I’ll tell you upfront. You give me your number, approve the wording, done.

One polite text, only to people who just called you and got no answer. That’s the least annoying thing that can happen to someone sitting in voicemail. If they reply STOP, it stops automatically — that’s the standard opt-out, always honored.

You get your recovered-leads number and we talk for about 10 minutes. Keep it, upgrade to the full system, or I switch it off. No card on file, so nothing gets charged behind your back.

The trial proves the problem before you pay for a fix. I’d rather show you your own missed-call numbers than talk you into anything. The only real limit is capacity — I set up every trial personally, so I only run 10 at a time.

Keeping just the text-back is $147/month. The full Booked While You Work System — follow-up, booking, reviews, reactivation — is $297/month. Cancel anytime. You’ll have your own numbers from the dashboard before you pay a dollar.

The Patch ($147/mo) is text-back only — it plugs the leak, but you’re still doing the follow-up and booking yourself. The Booked While You Work System ($297/mo) adds lead follow-up, calendar booking, a review engine, and quarterly database reactivation, so it runs without you touching it. Pro ($497/mo) adds an AI receptionist that answers and holds a real conversation with callers you miss.

No contract — month to month. Setup is normally $497, but it’s waived if you convert straight from your trial.

Yes. Month to month, no lock-in. If you leave, you keep your customized scripts either way.

Owner-operator contractors — plumbing, HVAC, roofing, landscaping, electrical, remodel — doing roughly $250K–$2M a year, who answer their own phone when their hands are free and lose the calls when they aren’t.

Probably not. If you already have a full-time office manager answering every call, this isn’t built for you — and I’ll tell you that on the call instead of trying to sell you anyway.

This is built for businesses with real call volume that’s currently going to voicemail. If you’re brand new with little call volume yet, there’s nothing for the system to catch — worth revisiting once that changes.

No. Replies land in your phone like normal texts, and the dashboard is there when you want it. Your only job during the trial is watching what it catches.

It’s one text, sent only to someone who just called you and got no answer, written in your own voice for your trade. That’s a better experience than silence, which is the alternative.

It stops for that number automatically. STOP is the standard carrier opt-out, and it’s always honored — no exceptions.

Yes — details are in the Privacy Policy and SMS Terms. Nothing about how your number or your customers’ replies get handled is hidden in fine print you haven’t seen.

There aren’t any yet, and I’m not going to invent them. This is new, and you’d be one of the first contractors running it. Run the free trial on your own number and decide from your own numbers instead of my promises.

Most contractors are live the same day, right after one 15-minute call. If your number needs carrier (A2P) registration first, that can add a few business days — I’ll tell you upfront if that applies to you.

Your business number, a rough sense of your weekly call volume, and your average job value — that’s it. I write your first text for your trade and you approve the wording before anything goes live.

I cap it at 10 running trials at a time, because I set up every one personally. Check the banner at the top of this page for today’s open count, or just start yours below and I’ll confirm live availability on the call.
