MISS THE CALL. KEEP THE CUSTOMER.
You were on a ladder. In a crawlspace. With another customer. The phone rang, you missed it, and that caller is already dialing the next company on the list. Never Miss a Call texts them back within seconds: "Sorry we missed you! How can we help?" The conversation starts, the lead is saved, and you reply when your hands are free.

What is missed-call text-back?
Missed-call text-back automatically sends a text message to anyone whose call you miss, within seconds. The customer can describe what they need by text, the conversation is handled or handed to you, and the lead lands in your pocket instead of your competitor's phone. It works with your existing business number.
Why missed calls cost more than you think.
Research cited by CallRail found 78% of consumers have abandoned a business after an unanswered call, and only about 42% leave a voicemail. For a trade business where one job is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, one saved call a month pays for this tool many times over.
Simple math: at $98 a month, if your average job is worth $500, this pays for itself the first time it saves one call every five months. Most service businesses miss more than one call a week.

Missed-call text-back questions, answered straight
Does it work with my current phone number?
Yes. Nothing about your number or your phone changes. The text-back sits behind your existing line.
Is texting a customer back legal?
Replying to someone who just called you is the textbook low-risk case: they contacted you first. What we don't do is marketing blasts to people who never opted in. Opt-outs are honored immediately.
What if the customer replies at 2 AM?
The assistant answers, gathers the details, and you see it in the morning. That's the point: it never sleeps, you get to.
How fast is the text-back?
Seconds after the missed call ends.
Can I turn it off during dinner with the family?
You don't need to. It only acts when you miss a call, which is exactly when you want it working.
