Missed call? Auto-text wins the job anyway
An instant text goes out when you’re up a ladder, so callers stay with you instead of calling the next electrician.
Most callers ring three trades and pick the first who replies. Be first.
The problem
Customers ring three trades and hire the first one to respond.
Pain point we researched: r/AusPropertyChat: "call three tradies, one calls back"
