Forward a home service business's existing phone number so any unanswered call within a few rings triggers an instant text reply (via Twilio) that answers the caller's likely question and offers a specific time to talk, using conversation logic written by Claude from the business's real pricing, service area, hours, and the five most common questions callers ask — sold standalone as its own dedicated product to plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, roofers, and also medical/dental clinics and med spas.

The sales pitch is built entirely on the client's own math: a business getting 30 inbound calls a week that misses a third of them, with even a modest 1-in-4 missed-call booking rate at a $600 average ticket, is losing roughly $6,000/month — a number that gets larger fast for services with high-ticket jobs (like an HVAC system replacement) where a single missed call's true cost is unknown. Priced at $1,000-3,000 setup plus $500-1,000/month, with a real example of replacing a client's $1,600/month outsourced call center, making the setup fee an easy comparison for the client to make.

Someone comfortable with cold outreach to service businesses and willing to walk a prospect through their own missed-call math on the call rather than pitching features.
