An unanswered call, or any after-hours call, goes to a voice agent that classifies the job, pages the on-call tech for emergencies, and books repairs into ServiceTitan.

Within 30 seconds of a missed call, an SMS asks what is going on. The model collects the address and photos, creates a lead in Jobber or Housecall Pro, and either books or hands the thread to a person.

When Housecall Pro marks an estimate sent, a four-touch sequence starts. It stops itself when the estimate is approved or declined, and every reply is classified back into the customer record.

A daily job finds agreements expiring in 60, 30, and 7 days, picks one of three messages from visit history and equipment age, and books tune-ups into open slow-season capacity.

Two hours after the job is done or the invoice is paid, every customer gets a 1–5 text. High scores get the Google review link, then a referral offer. Low scores alert the owner and do not ask for a public review.

An Angi, Thumbtack, or web-form lead is called or texted within a minute, qualified, and booked. Every booked job is logged with its cost so the Monday report can compare sources.

A tech or project manager sends a voice note or a photo of what the homeowner just asked for. The model drafts a priced change order, the homeowner gets an e-sign link the same day, and unsigned work is flagged before anyone builds it.
