Any missed call could be a lost job
Many callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message.

Live call transcript
Caller
"Do you guys do tankless water heater installation?"
Claudessa
"We do! We install Navien and Rinnai units. Installation starts at $3,200 depending on the model and whether we need to upgrade your gas line. Want me to take your details for a free estimate?"
She knew your brands. Your pricing. Your process. Because we called you and asked.
She knows your rates, brands, and policies.
We call you. One conversation, and her answers on your calls come from what you told her.
You get the details, not a voicemail.
When someone calls and says what they need, you get their name, their number, and a one-line summary of what they wanted — by text or email, right after the call.
Caller
"I need my furnace serviced before winter."
Claudessa
"Smart thinking. What days generally work for you, and what's the best number to reach you back?"
Caller
"Thursday morning — 512-555-0148."
Claudessa
"Perfect. I'm sending your details to the team right now."

Questions contractors ask
We call you. Not a form, not a setup wizard — an actual conversation. Claudessa asks about your rates, service area, emergency procedures, business hours, and how you like calls handled. The conversation takes 15 minutes, and her answers on your calls come from what you told her.
She takes a message instead of guessing. If a caller asks something Claudessa doesn't know, she tells them you'll get back to them with the details. After the call, she texts or emails you who called and what they wanted. You can also tell us when you want calls transferred straight to you.
Yes. You keep your number. We set up call forwarding so calls to your existing number ring Claudessa when you can't answer. You control when forwarding is active — all the time, only after hours, or only when you're on a job. Your dashboard gives you the code to dial to turn it on.
No contracts, ever. Your 14-day / first-30-calls trial starts when your receptionist goes live — not when you sign up. After that, it's month-to-month. Cancel anytime with one click. You have 30 days from signup to complete onboarding and go live; miss it and the signup expires on its own, with nothing charged. We don't believe in trapping customers — if Claudessa isn't earning her keep, you shouldn't be paying for her.
Flex is $29/mo with 50 calls included. Volume is $79/mo with 200 calls included. Calls over the plan allowance are $0.49/call on Flex and $0.29/call on Volume. Your dashboard shows how many calls you've used this billing period. See how that compares to other answering services.
There is no hard cutoff. Flex includes 50 calls; after the included allowance, extra calls are $0.49/call overage. Volume includes 200 calls, then $0.29/call.
Yes. Claudessa identifies herself as an AI assistant at the start of every call. We believe in transparency — callers deserve to know who they're talking to.
Yes, with no commitment. Call 1-888-611-9056 and talk to Claudessa live on our own line, 24/7 — ask her anything.
