Common Questions
What is missed-call text-back?
It's a simple automation that watches your business line. The second a call comes in that you can't pick up, it fires off a text to that caller automatically, in your name, so they know you saw them and you'll be right with them. Instead of hitting voicemail and calling the next guy, they get a reply in seconds and the conversation keeps going by text.
Why does a text beat a voicemail?
Because almost nobody leaves a voicemail anymore, and the ones who do expect a callback hours later. A text lands instantly and feels easy to answer; most people text back within a couple of minutes. When someone's phone is flooded with calls to three businesses, the one that answers first usually wins the job. Text-back makes you that one, even when your hands are full.
Will my customers think they're talking to a robot?
The first text goes out automatically, but it reads like you, not a machine; something like "Sorry I missed your call, this is Edward, what can I help you with?" From there you're answering yourself when you get a minute. It buys you time without sounding like an auto-reply.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. It works with the business number you already use. Your customers keep calling the same line; the automation just covers you when you can't pick up.
Does it replace my phone or my receptionist?
No, it backs them up. It catches the calls that would have gone to voicemail; nights, weekends, when you're under a sink or up on a roof. You still talk to every customer; you just stop losing the ones you couldn't get to in time.
How much does missed-call text-back cost?
It's scoped with the rest of your setup, so I won't throw out a number that turns out wrong. Book a free call, tell me how your calls come in, and I'll give you one real price, no pressure and no obligation.
