AI receptionist for trades
The AI receptionist for tree surgeons
A storm brings a branch down over a driveway. The tree surgeon who answers and books the job clears it, and the rest miss out.
Sound familiar?
Why tree surgeons lose work to the phone.
A day of tree work is several hundred pounds, and storm season fills the diary for whoever answers. A missed call is a job cleared by someone else.
You are up a tree with a chainsaw
You cannot take a call halfway up a trunk. Enquiries ring out and jobs go to whoever answered.
Storms bury you in calls at once
One bad night and the phone does not stop with fallen branches and blocked drives. subba answers every one and books them in.
Quotes need a look before a price
Every tree is different. subba books the quote visit and takes the details so you turn up ready to price it.
How subba helps
A receptionist that never misses a call.
Answers in seconds, day or night
The moment a call, message or web enquiry lands, subba replies. While you are on the job, out of hours, at the weekend, it never rings out and never sleeps.
It actually books the appointment
This is not a message service. subba checks your real availability and books the customer straight into your diary, then sends the confirmation.
Sounds like you
It learns your services, your prices and your tone, so every reply reads like you wrote it, not a call centre. It talks like trades customers expect.
Takes payment where you want it
For the jobs that need it, subba can take a deposit or full payment into your own Stripe when it books, so no-shows cost you nothing.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For tree surgeons, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Tree surgeon FAQs.
Can it cope with a storm surge of calls?
That is when it earns its keep. subba answers every call at once, so a stormy night does not mean a full voicemail and lost jobs by morning.
Can it book quote visits for bigger work?
Yes. For felling and big reductions it books a free quote visit and takes the details, so you arrive ready to price the job.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
