Turn a missed call into a booked job with one text
The single highest-return habit for a busy owner: a fast, friendly text after every missed call. Here's exactly what to send.
Speed is everything
A caller who didn't reach you is still deciding who to hire. A text in the first few minutes — while you're still fresh in their mind — often catches them before they've dialled anyone else.
Templates you can copy
- First reply: 'Hi, this is [Name] at [Business] — sorry I missed you. What can I help with?'
- Asking for details: 'Happy to help. What's the address, and what's going on? I'll get you a time.'
- Booking: 'I can come by [day] between [window]. Does that work? Reply YES and you're booked.'
- After hours: 'Thanks for reaching out! We're closed right now but I've got your message and will call first thing tomorrow.'
Make it automatic
Saving these as text shortcuts on your phone takes two minutes and saves you every day. If you can't even get to the text because you're working, that's exactly the gap an AI receptionist fills — it sends the reply and captures the details for you.
