See what your customer gets
Roofs leak when it rains, and it rains on the whole town at the same time. After a storm the calls stack up while you’re on someone else’s roof.
A leaking ceiling won’t leave a voicemail and wait. They’ll ring the next roofer on Google.
The assistant answers every one, finds out who’s got water coming in, and books the quotes for when the weather clears.
Put in your own numbers. It works out what missed calls are worth to you a month and a year.
All three come in Core. Same assistant, same knowledge of your business, whether they ring, miss you or text.
It picks up when you can’t, as your assistant, and gets the job details.
Emergencies come to you. The rest get booked for the morning.
Only at times you’re free, with a confirmation and a reminder.
The same assistant answers texts and the chat on your website.
Two follow-ups if they go quiet, then it stops.
Happy customers get your review link after the job.
This is the first thing it asks. You decide what counts as an emergency; this is where we start for roofers.
“Is water coming inside right now?”
Then it rings you, so you can’t miss it.
You get the details by text, and the job lands in your diary.
It answers from what you’ve told us: your services, your area, your prices. If it doesn’t know, it says so and takes their details.
Can you tarp it tonight?
It texts you straight away and tells them you’ll ring back.
Do you work on tile and metal roofs?
It answers from your services.
How much for new gutters?
It books a time for you to measure up and quote.
How long will a re-roof take?
It gives your usual answer, or books a quote so you can say.
Examples. Yours use your own prices, services and suburbs.
Texts come from your business name, in plain words. No jokes, no robot voice. The emergency comes to you.
