The problem

Where the revenue leaks

Spring and summer are peak season — phones ring nonstop. The office manager is one person, splitting time between quoting, scheduling, and answering inbound calls. Around 45% of inbound calls in March-July go to voicemail. Industry research shows fewer than 20% of voicemails get returned in time to win the job. Customers move on to the next contractor on the list.

The fix

What Rescue Your Leads does on every call

  1. 1

    AI agent picks up every call that goes to voicemail

    When the office manager doesn't answer in 4 rings, Avery picks up in her business's name. She qualifies the caller, books estimates straight onto the calendar, and texts urgent calls to the on-call crew lead.

  2. 2

    Booking goes directly to Google Calendar

    No double-bookings. The agent only offers slots they're actually free. A booking confirmation text fires to the caller from the business's number within 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Owner gets a recap on every call

    Branded email + SMS within ~60 seconds of every call: caller name, intent, audio recording, transcript, estimated job value. They can listen to any call in their dashboard.

The outcome

What happens in 12 months

In the first 12 months, the modeled business answers 100% of inbound calls (vs. 55% baseline), books ~40 additional jobs that would have otherwise been lost, and captures $52,000 in revenue at the same staffing level. The office manager gets her time back for higher-leverage work — closing quotes, dispatching crews, customer follow-up.
