Those leads went straight to a competitor. ## What was broken - /\* PLACEHOLDER \*/ ~30% of inbound calls missed - No after-hours capture - Voicemail-to-booking rate was effectively 0% ## What we shipped Deployed AI missed-call text-back that engaged callers within 30 seconds, qualified the issue, and offered a same-week slot pulled from the live dispatch board. "I used to lose every weekend lead. Now they're already booked when I get to the office Monday." — /\* PLACEHOLDER \*/ Owner, Reliant HVAC ## How They Did It — The Implementation Detail ### The Starting Problem Reliant HVAC was running roughly 35 inbound calls per day with a 30% miss rate concentrated in after-hours and weekend windows. Their on-call rotation existed but lagged 15–45 minutes behind the initial call — long enough for most callers to have already booked a competitor. ### The System They Deployed A 3-component AI stack: (1) instant SMS text-back to any missed call within 5 seconds; (2) AI triage to determine emergency vs. scheduled service and route accordingly; (3) auto-booking for scheduled requests using their existing Housecall Pro calendar. Total setup time: 11 days. Monthly cost: under $500. ### The 90-Day Results Within 90 days, lead-to-booking conversion 3x'd. After-hours bookings jumped from 4/month to 47/month. Average response time dropped from 22 minutes to 28 seconds. Revenue attributable to recovered calls: $84K in the first quarter. The on-call tech only got paged for true emergencies — a 70% reduction in night-call disruption. ### What Made It Work The biggest insight wasn't the technology — it was matching the AI's tone to Reliant's existing brand voice. Generic AI greetings drove 30% lower engagement than messages that sounded like Reliant's actual dispatcher. Personality matters, even in automated systems. ### Want this for your business?
