For home service prosAnswer every call and follow up on every quote, even from the job site
Whether you run a cleaning company, a contracting business, or an HVAC team, your best work happens away from the phone. Virtual SAM answers calls, follows up on quote requests, and keeps customers coming back, so the office keeps running while you're on the job.
Support that keeps up with your schedule
Service businesses run on quick responses and good timing. These are the moments where Sam keeps customers informed and coming back.
Calls get answered while you're on a job
The AI receptionist picks up when your hands are full, answers common questions, and books estimates. If a call is missed, a text goes out right away so the conversation keeps going.
Quote requests get a fast reply
When someone fills out your website form at night, Sam replies within minutes and offers times for an estimate.
Customers know when you're coming
Confirmations and reminders include the date and arrival window, and rescheduling takes a few taps.
Estimates and invoices go out from your phone
Send estimates and invoices by text or email, and customers can pay online with a card.
Seasonal reminders bring customers back
Tune-ups, inspections, and seasonal cleanings get scheduled reminders, so past customers book again without you having to chase them.
Reviews come in after every job
A review request goes out when the job is done, with a direct link that makes leaving one easy.
What a week with Virtual SAM could look like
Every service business runs a little differently, and Sam adapts to yours. Here's one example of how the pieces work together.
This is an illustrative example, not a specific client's results.
- Monday morning
You're on a job site when two calls come in at the same time. Sam answers both. One caller books an estimate for Wednesday, and the other texts photos of the project so you can put together a quote.
- Monday evening
Someone fills out the quote form on your website. Sam replies within minutes and offers estimate times.
- Tuesday
Wednesday's customers get a reminder with your arrival window and an easy way to reschedule.
- Wednesday
You send an estimate from your phone. If the customer hasn't responded in a couple of days, Sam follows up.
- Thursday
The job is done. The invoice goes out by text, and the customer pays from their phone.
- Friday
Review requests go out to the customers you served this week, and last year's customers get a reminder that seasonal maintenance is due.
