Emergency conversions: two monthly to ten

Rodriguez Plumbing is a small Texas crew. During work hours they answered when they could. After hours, every call went to voicemail, and they picked up only 1 to 2 emergency jobs a month from overnight messages. They set an AI receptionist to answer every call around the clock. It captures the emergency details and routes the job to the on-call technician.

How it wentCall capture reached 100%, including 3 AM emergencies. Emergency conversions rose from 1 to 2 a month to 8 to 10, and the write-up puts the added monthly revenue at about $4,000, from after-hours emergencies the crew used to miss (figures from a trades case-study roundup).
