Storm-night call floods
Two hundred homeowners call in 48 hours and your office can answer twenty. Every missed call is a $10,000 roof walking to the company with a working phone tree.
Roofing in Arkansas lives and dies by storm season. When a hail cell crosses the River Valley or the metro, the phones of thirty roofing companies light up the same evening, and the ones with automated intake work the whole event. The ones relying on callbacks work a fraction of it.
Two hundred homeowners call in 48 hours and your office can answer twenty. Every missed call is a $10,000 roof walking to the company with a working phone tree.
Adjusters, supplements, and mortgage company checks all need chasing at different times. One dropped thread stalls a job for six weeks.
Free inspections are your top of funnel, and they are being scheduled by phone tag while the homeowner books three other inspections.
Job details move by text and memory. A wrong start time or a missing materials note costs a morning and looks amateur.
In this order. Each one pays for the next, and none of them requires new staff.
Every call answered during an event, damage triaged by your questions, inspections booked onto the calendar in order. The flood becomes a queue.
Homeowners book their own inspection slot by text, with automatic reminders that cut no-shows.
Timed follow-ups for every open insurance job, adjuster touchpoints logged, nothing aging in a spreadsheet unseen.
Address, scope, materials notes, and photos assembled automatically from intake. The crew rolls out with the full picture.
The Saturday workshop teaches you to build and run the system yourself: $497 early bird, one afternoon, and you leave with a working prototype. If you would rather pay for the outcome, the AI front desk build is $2,500 plus $497 a month, and larger workflow builds run $1,500 to $5,000 setup.
Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute assessment call. See full services and pricing.
It fits that model better than a staffed office does. The system answers at storm volume and goes quiet in the off season without a payroll decision. You pay a flat monthly, not a salary for the spike.
It collects facts only: date of damage, carrier, whether a claim is filed, the claim number if they have one. It never advises on coverage. The script is yours and we build the boundaries in.
A done-for-you AI front desk is typically live in two to three weeks from the assessment. If the season is close, say so on the call and we will tell you honestly whether the timeline works.
Yes. The Saturday workshop in Fort Smith is hands-on and no-code: you build your own AI receptionist in one afternoon and call it live before you leave. Seats are $497 early bird and credit toward any done-for-you build started within 60 days.
That is the done-for-you path. Start with the free 15-minute assessment, and if the ROI is there we build, launch, and manage the system, including on-site work under the retainer for larger operations.
Fifteen minutes, your business details, and a straight answer on whether automation pays for itself in your operation. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
