Wellington leads come from busy families, estate owners and farm managers, often at odd hours. Our AI Appointment Engine answers missed calls and forms in seconds, asks the right questions for each property and books the visit.
of calls to small businesses were not answered by a live person in a 2024 study of 85 businesses. [4]
Every caller answered, whatever the property
A family with a broken AC on a Saturday, a barn manager who needs a roof leak fixed before horses arrive and an out-of-state owner who wants an estimate before the season: each expects a quick, competent reply. Missing any of them hands the job to someone else.
The AI Appointment Engine replies to every missed call by text and every form within seconds. It asks what the job is, where the property is and what type of property it is, then offers times from your calendar.
For estates and equestrian properties it can collect access details, animal and event schedules and the best contact, whether that is the owner or a manager, so your team arrives prepared.
Booked visits get confirmations and reminders, and unsigned estimates get polite follow-up over the following weeks.
Every conversation is saved in your CRM, with urgent jobs flagged to your phone.
Setup is a short conversation about your services, service area, property types and scheduling rules. We connect your calendar and CRM, write the messages with you and test common situations, such as an AC failure on a weekend, a barn manager with an urgent leak and an out-of-state owner asking for an estimate, before anything goes live.
