Missed call text back
Every call that rings out gets a text within seconds, from your own number, asking what the job is. The cheapest fix for the biggest leak in a contracting business.
$99
per month, per number. Includes 1,000 messages. No setup fee.
A caller who rings out is gone in about ninety seconds, because the next result on the page also has a phone number. A text that lands while they are still looking at their screen pulls a decent share of them back. This is the smallest thing on our price list and it usually pays for itself in the first week.
- 01
Instant text on any unanswered call
Sent within five seconds of the call ending, from your business number, so the reply lands in the same thread as everything else.
- 02
Copy written for a trade, not a SaaS demo
Short, plain, and it asks one question. Sorry we missed you - what is going on and what is the address? gets a reply. A four line automated apology does not.
- 03
Two-way replies into one shared inbox
Everything the customer sends back lands in one place your whole office can see, on the web and on a phone, so two people do not answer the same thread.
- 04
After-hours and holiday variants
A different message outside your hours, with when you will actually call back. Naming a real time beats a promise to get back to you shortly.
- 05
Opt-out handling built in
STOP is honoured automatically and logged. Canadian anti-spam rules and carrier rules both apply to this and we set it up to pass both.
- 06
Weekly recap
Calls missed, texts sent, replies received and jobs recovered. The last number is the only one that matters and it is on the first line.
- Bulk marketing texts to your customer list. Different product, different rules, and we do not sell it.
- Replying on your behalf. The text goes out automatically, a human in your shop answers the conversation.
- Number porting. Your number stays where it is.
Right for
Any business where customers call from a mobile and are happy to text. That is nearly every residential trade, and it is why this is the first thing we suggest to shops that are not ready for anything bigger.
Not right for
Commercial and industrial work where the caller is a property manager who will not text, or a business whose calls are almost all answered already.
All-in-one CRM with text back included
$97 to $297/mo
The feature is real and it is bundled with a CRM, pipeline, funnels and an email tool you may not want. You are buying a platform to get one behaviour.
WARDORX
$99/mo
The one behaviour, set up for your trade, without migrating your business into somebody else's CRM.
If you are already paying for a platform that does this, turn it on there and keep your money. We will tell you that on the call. This exists for the large majority of shops who are not running one and are not about to start.
- Do people actually reply to these?
- Enough of them do. The honest framing is that you are not converting every missed call, you are converting some share of a group that was previously worth zero. Even a slow week with two recovered jobs has paid for the year.
- Will this annoy people who called by mistake?
- Occasionally, which is why the message is one short line, says who it is from, and honours STOP. Wrong numbers ignore it and move on.
- Can we turn it off when the office is fully staffed?
- Yes, by schedule or by hand. Most shops leave it on permanently, because the calls it catches are the ones nobody knew about.
- Is this legal in Canada?
- Replying to someone who just called you sits inside implied consent, and we still add identification and an opt-out on every message because that is what the rules ask for. We do not use this list for marketing, which is where businesses get themselves in trouble.
