Homeowner calls. You’re in a crawlspace in Massapequa — or on a cedar roof in East Hampton. They try the next name on Google. That’s not a marketing problem. That’s an office problem.
For $300 a month we run the office. Website. Google. Texts. Appointments. Estimates. Invoices. You keep doing the work.
Storm week. Ice dams. The guy who texts first gets the tarp job.
Burst pipe at 6am. They are not leaving a voicemail. They are calling the next name.
Bathroom, addition, deck. Estimate out the same day — not when you get back to the shop.
Panel, generator, outdoor kitchen. They want a window today, not a callback tomorrow.
August on the South Fork. The shop that answers gets the condenser.
Pavers, walls, driveways out in Moriches. Quote while you’re still on site.
$300 is less than one extra job. A roof in Sag. A water heater in Moriches. A bathroom in Westhampton. If we book you one more call than you were going to get, the month is paid before lunch. That’s the whole pitch.
Cedar shake. Salt air. A house in Sag that wants the leak fixed before the weekend guests. A shop in Center Moriches that already has the work — they just miss the phone while they’re on 27. Same $300. Same office. From Hicksville to Montauk.
No application. No sales call from the truck. After you hit the button:
“We used to miss three calls a day while on the roof. Now they get a text before we even climb down. It pays for itself by Tuesday.”— Local Roofing (Example)
No card today. No setup fee. We’ll text you tomorrow.
No card was charged. We bill the $300 after that text, once you say go.
Plain English. If it’s on this list, you don’t have to learn software.
A simple site that takes the job. Name, town, what you do, a form. Not a brochure you’ll never update.
The pin people tap when the pipe bursts. Listing, photos, reviews coming in and answered.
Legal business texts (A2P). So “we can be there at 4” doesn’t land in spam.
They pick a window. You get a calendar that isn’t a pile of voicemails.
Every name in one place. Who called, who booked, who went quiet.
Quote goes out. Invoice follows the job. You don’t chase paper from the truck.
New name → booked → job done → invoice → review. You don’t run it from a laptop.
Follow-ups after the estimate. A note when the storms hit. Not 40 emails a week.
Facebook / Instagram on the same system. Job photos out without living on the phone.
Upgrade later. We don’t light money on fire until the phone is already being answered.
No. You tell us the hours you work, what a job is worth, and who shouldn’t get on the calendar. We run the rest.
None. $300 a month. Cancel if it’s not booking you work.
Business name, towns you cover, a couple job photos, and access to your Google listing. That’s enough to turn the phone back on.
No. First we catch the leads you already get. Ads are an upgrade when the office is answering. Spending on ads into a dead voicemail is how shops waste a winter.
Yes. Jon — send shops https://automatescale.com/trades?ref=jon. We’ll know who sent them.
We’ll take the office. $300. No contract games.
Day 1. Google listing + texts, on.
Week 1. Site + calendar, live.
You stay on the job.
We’ll text you tomorrow.
