Missed-call text-back

Every missed call gets a text back in 60 seconds.

You're under a house or on a roof when the phone rings. The homeowner doesn't leave a voicemail. They call the next shop. Text-back sends them a text from your number within a minute, so the conversation stays with you.

Free report card in your inbox in about 5 minutes. Nobody calls you.

The problem

Where the calls leak.

✕

Nobody leaves voicemails

Most callers who reach voicemail hang up and try someone else.

✕

Your busiest days miss the most calls

The heat wave that fills your schedule is also when the phone rings while everyone's on a job.

✕

After-hours calls go cold

A 9 PM no-cool call is gone by morning if nobody answers.

✕

Callbacks come too late

By the time you call back between jobs, they've booked someone else.

How it works

How we set it up.

You give us access and approve the work. We do the rest.

  1. 1

    A call goes unanswered

    Your line forwards through the system, so it sees every call you miss. Your number doesn't change.

  2. 2

    A text goes out in about a minute

    From your business number, in your voice: "Sorry we missed you, this is your shop. What's going on with your system?"

  3. 3

    They reply, you see it

    The reply lands in the shared inbox app, on your phone and on everyone else's on your team.

  4. 4

    You book the job

    Reply when you're free, or send your booking link. Every conversation is logged.

Your whole team

One app. Everyone on the same page.

This runs inside HQ Command Center, the CRM we set up around your shop. Everyone who needs it gets a login.

Unlimited team logins

Owners, managers, the office and techs. Add as many people as you want, at no extra cost.

One inbox for everything

Calls, texts, web chat, email and Facebook and Instagram messages, in one thread per customer.

An app on every phone

iPhone and Android, with alerts, so whoever's free can answer from the truck.

Everyone on the same page

The same customer history, notes and next steps for everyone. No more "did anyone call them back?"

The math

What missed calls cost you.

Put in your own numbers.

Busy season, after hours and while you're on a job. Guess if you don't know.
Mix of repairs and the odd replacement.

at risk each year

Missed calls x job value x the share you'd book. Your numbers; this is math, not a promise of results.

Straight answer

Is it worth it for your shop?

Worth it if

  • You miss calls when the crew is on jobs
  • Callers rarely leave voicemails
  • You get after-hours calls

Skip it if

  • Someone always answers live, every hour
  • You don't want to reply to texts
Questions

Common questions

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Your number stays the same. We forward it through the system so missed calls can be texted back.

Is it legal to text people who called me?

Replying by text to someone who just called your business is different from cold texting. We set up carrier registration and only text people who called you. Our missed-call guide covers the rules in detail.

What does the text say?

Whatever you want it to. We write a short, friendly first message in your voice and change it whenever you like.

What if I'm already on the phone?

That counts as a missed call, so the caller still gets the text.
