@Stewart Chitty for pressure washing and gutter jobs, better conversion is often speed-to-lead rather than just more leads. If someone calls while you are on tools, a narrow missed-call receptionist could grab postcode, job type, access, urgency and preferred callback so the lead does not go cold. I am working with CallEzz on this for trade teams. You can test a free 1-minute demo here: https://calleez.ai/ai-receptionist-for/trade-teams Would be interested what questions you would want it to ask for Silver Fern.

@The Bin Whisperer For bin cleaning, missed-call capture is a good low-risk test because most enquiries only need the basics first: name, estate/postcode, number of bins, one-off vs regular, and how soon they want it done. I am working with CallEzz on this for trade teams. You can create and call your own free demo in about a minute here: https://calleez.ai/ai-receptionist-for/trade-teams If you try it, I would be interested whether it asks enough to be useful for The Bin Whisperer without annoying callers.
FROM 10 JOBS A WEEK TO 6 A DAY
This is what happens when a trade business fixes the basics 👇 “I’ve gone from 10 jobs a week to 6 a day…I listened, improved my reels, fixed my ads, and started handling leads properly. Now I’m landing 5–10 jobs a day and the business runs smoother than ever.” Nothing fancy, no gimmicks. Just: • Better reels • Proper ads • Faster follow ups • Knowing how to speak to customers Big respect to @Jack Wroe for taking action. If you’re still struggling for work, read this twice. Question for everyone:Which one are you missing right now? 👇 Comment below

@John Carter I would start narrower than "website + leads". Pick one service and one area first, e.g. gutter/roof cleans in Norwich, then build the follow-up around that: one simple page, one clear offer, photos/proof as you get them, and a way to answer/capture every enquiry fast. Once the phone starts ringing, missed calls are where a lot of new operators quietly lose money, but I would only add automation after the offer is clear. What service are you closest to starting with, gutters or roofs?
6 months free for one trade owner testing an AI receptionist
Quick one for trade/service owners who are already thinking about missed calls. CallEzz is running a free prize draw: create a demo AI receptionist and a free account before 31 May, and one winner gets 6 months of CallEzz free. No purchase needed. Terms are here: https://calleez.ai/competition-terms The useful bit for trades is simple: when nobody can pick up, it can collect the caller's name, number, job type, location, urgency, and send a clean summary. I am mainly interested in what would make this useful rather than annoying. For your trade, what questions would the receptionist have to ask before you would trust the summary?

Missed calls: where do trade owners draw the line?
Looking at this from a trade marketing/conversion angle: when a lead calls after hours or while you are on a job, what is the minimum info you would want captured before calling them back? I do not mean AI diagnosing, quoting, promising availability, or pretending to be a full receptionist. Just narrow missed-call intake. For me the useful basics seem to be: name, number, job type, postcode, urgency, access details, and maybe whether photos can be sent after the call. Curious where trade owners here would draw the line. Would that feel useful, or would customers still hate any automated answer?
