ANSWER · Missed-call reply
A missed call texts them back in seconds.
You are under a house or up a ladder and the phone rings. By the time you get to it they have rung the next plumber on the list. This texts them straight back — your name, that you will call shortly, and a question so they reply instead of moving on.
How we actually do it
A tracking or forwarding number sits in front of your mobile. If a call goes unanswered, an SMS goes out within seconds. Replies land in one place so nothing gets lost between texts and voicemail. Business-hours rules so nobody gets a 2am message. Every message identifies you and carries an opt-out, per the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007. This is the highest-value item on the list for most trades, because the lead already existed and already wanted you — it was lost purely to timing.
What you actually get
- Instant text back on any missed call
- Your wording, your name — not a robot voice
- Replies collected in one place
- Business-hours rules so nobody gets a 2am text

Where it fits
Straight answers
Fair questions.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. Your number stays exactly as it is — calls route through and forward to your mobile as normal.
What if I answer?
Nothing sends. It only fires on a genuinely missed call.
