What a missed call costs a small roofing company in Salt Lake City

For a small roofing company in Salt Lake City, a call that goes to voicemail often does not come back. The homeowner calls the next roofer on the list, and that job is gone before you hear the message. Many roofing jobs are decided on the first call, so every missed call is an estimate you never give and an inspection you never book.

The cost is more than today's job. A homeowner who was not answered does not refer you to a neighbor. In a city with many older homes, people call in a hurry when a leak starts, and that hurry does not last.

A normal day for a roofer in Salt Lake City

It is 6:40 in the morning. Your crew is already driving to a house in North Salt Lake, and your phone is in the truck. While you drive, a homeowner in South Salt Lake leaves a message about a stain on her ceiling. Later a man in West Valley City calls because his insurance adjuster visits next week and he needs an inspection before that.

Another person has already called two roofers this morning and is waiting for a third. Clara answers each call, asks the preferred language, confirms the address and offers the free inspection. You do not have to stop working to pick up every call.

What you get after each call

• A summary of the call, in your language, saved as a lead in the built-in CRM.
• An immediate notification on your phone with the name, address and reason for the call.
• The appointment on your calendar, with date and address read back to confirm.
• An urgent call, such as an active leak, transferred to you right away.
