Industries
Every trade takes different calls
A no-heat call at 2am and a lost-crown call on a Saturday need different questions, different triage and a different definition of urgent. These pages cover what that looks like for each trade.
-
HVAC
Every no-heat call that reaches voicemail is a job your competitor books before you have listened to the message.
-
Plumbing
A burst pipe at midnight is the most valuable call you will get all week, and it is the one most likely to reach voicemail.
-
Dental
Your front desk is genuinely busy with the patient in front of them. That is exactly when the new-patient call comes in.
-
Law firms
Legal enquiries are among the most expensive clicks in search. Sending them to voicemail is the costliest thing a firm does.
-
Real estate
You are in a showing, which means you cannot answer the call about the next one.
-
Roofing
Storm season delivers a year of calls in a fortnight, and no amount of staffing covers it.
-
Moving
A moving quote is a comparison purchase. The firm that answers first usually gets the survey.
-
Auto repair
Every technician is under a bonnet, which is exactly why the phone rings out.
-
Veterinary
A worried owner ringing about their dog needs an answer in seconds, not a queue.
-
Salons
Nobody can answer a phone with their hands in someone's hair.
-
Chiropractic
Someone in acute back pain rings three clinics. The one that answers gets the patient.
-
Electrical
A burning smell from a socket is not a call that waits until Monday.
-
Pest control
Wasps in a nursery and ants in a kitchen are not the same call, and the caller will not say so.
-
Landscaping
The entire crew is outside with machinery running. Nobody is hearing that phone.
-
Cleaning
Cleaning is bought on the first phone call. The company that answers gets the contract.
-
Locksmiths
Someone locked out at 2am rings until somebody answers. Nobody waits.
-
Garage doors
A door stuck shut with a car behind it is an emergency measured in hours, not days.
-
Appliance repair
A leaking washing machine is today's problem, and the caller is ringing three engineers.
-
Towing
Someone on a hard shoulder is not going to leave a voicemail and wait.
-
Tree service
A tree on a roof at midnight and a hedge trim in April arrive on the same number.
-
Painting
You are up a ladder with a brush in your hand. The phone is downstairs.
-
Restoration
Water damage doubles every hour nobody answers the phone.
-
Med spa
Aesthetic enquiries are expensive to generate and easy to lose to a voicemail.
-
Pool service
The first warm week of the year produces a season of calls in four days.
-
Septic
Sewage backing into a house is a same-hour problem, not a same-week one.
-
Solar
Solar enquiries are long, expensive and easy to waste a survey on.
-
Flooring
The measure visit is where flooring is sold. Everything before it is just getting there.
-
Dog grooming
You cannot leave a dog on a table to answer a phone.
-
Accounting
Deadline season is when new clients ring and when nobody in the office can answer.
-
Commercial HVAC
A failed chiller in a server room is a different call from a warm office, and the SLA says so.
