The problem
The calls you can't take
You're on a route all day
Technicians are in attics, crawl spaces and yards all day. Calls go to voicemail, and an upset homeowner rarely waits.
Urgent callers shop fast
Someone with roaches in the kitchen or wasps by the front door calls a few companies in a row. The first one to answer usually wins.
Plans start with one call
Recurring service starts with one conversation. Miss it, and that customer signs up with someone else.
A sample call
A real pest control call, handled
Here's how Maria handles a typical call for a pest control business. The business (SafeHome Pest Control) and the caller are made up. The flow is what your customers get.
When she hangs up, the details go straight to the owner by text and email, like the summary at the top of this page.
What she asks
The questions that matter
We set Maria up with the questions your business needs. For pest control calls, that usually means:
- Name and the best number to call back
- The property address
- What pest they're seeing and where: inside or outside
- How long it's been going on
- Home or business
- New or existing customer
- When they need someone

Built around your day
How it fits your work
Your techs spend the day on routes. Forward the calls you can't take and Maria answers every one, so nobody hangs up and dials the next company.
Some seasons are busier than others, like when termites swarm in spring. Maria answers the rush the same way she answers a quiet Tuesday.
Each summary tells you what the caller is seeing and whether they're a new customer, so you know which calls to return first.

- Greets callers with your business name and sounds natural, not like a phone menu
- Asks for the caller's name, number, what they need, the address and when they need it
- Sends you a text and an email with those details as soon as the call ends
Not yet
- She doesn't book jobs into your calendar. You call the customer back and set the time
- She doesn't transfer live calls to your phone
