FAQ
What should a missed call text say for a contractor?
Apologize briefly, identify the company, ask what they need and what city they are in. One message.
Will instant text-back annoy customers?
Not if it is short and human. Customers mainly want to know you saw the call.
Does this work for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical?
Yes. Any trade where inbound calls are high intent and you are on jobs all day.
Should I text and call back?
Yes. Text captures details fast. Calling closes the job faster than long texting.
Running a bigger operation?
If missed calls are one symptom of a wider response problem, with slow follow-up, weak intake, or scheduling chaos, the AI Operations Audit maps every leak at once and tells you which fix pays back first.
