The Contractor's Problem: Every Missed Call Is a Lost Job
As a contractor, you're on job sites all day. You can't answer the phone while you're under a sink, on a roof, or dealing with a customer. But every unanswered call is a potential customer who is about to call your competitor.
Traditional answering services are expensive (often $1,500–$3,000/month for a full-time receptionist), unreliable on evenings and weekends, and often fail to capture the specific job details you need. Voice mail is worse — most callers hang up without leaving a message.
Voxs solves this problem completely. Your Voxs AI receptionist answers every call immediately, speaks naturally, collects all the job details, and either books the appointment directly in your calendar or texts you an urgent alert for emergency calls.
What Voxs Does for Contractors
1. Answers Every Call, 24/7 — Including Weekends and Evenings
Most job leads come in during your busiest hours: 7am–6pm on weekdays, and weekend mornings. These are exactly the times you're on a job site. Voxs answers every call on the first or second ring, in your company's name, with a professional greeting you customize yourself.
After-hours calls are handled just as professionally. When a homeowner has an emergency at 9pm on a Saturday, Voxs captures the situation and can transfer the call to you, send an urgent text, or book a morning appointment — based on rules you set.
2. Books Appointments Directly Into Your Google Calendar
Voxs integrates with Google Calendar to check your availability in real time and confirm bookings during the call. No back-and-forth scheduling. No double-booking. The caller gets a confirmed appointment, and you get a calendar entry with all the job details.
3. Captures Detailed Job Information
Unlike voicemail or a generic answering service, Voxs asks the right questions for your trade. It collects the caller's name, address, phone number, the nature of the problem, how urgent it is, and any other details you specify during setup. All of this is delivered to you by email after every call, with a full transcript.
4. Qualifies Leads Automatically
Not every call is worth your time. Voxs can ask qualifying questions you define — service area, type of job, timeline, budget range — and route calls appropriately. Serious leads get booked. Out-of-service-area calls get a polite explanation. Emergency calls get transferred immediately.
5. Handles Call Overflow When You're Busy
Even if you do answer calls, there are times when you're on another call and a second customer is waiting. Voxs acts as your overflow receptionist, picking up when you can't, so no customer ever hears a busy signal or gets sent to voicemail.
