Electrical jobs slip away while your hands are in a panel. A text back within a minute, a booked time and quote follow-up keep the job. Anything dangerous comes straight to you.
What slips away in an electrical company
- Calls during jobs. In a CallRail survey of 1,000 US consumers, 21% said they immediately call another business when nobody picks up.
- After-hours calls. A tripping breaker will not wait for Monday.
- Big quotes. Panels, generators and EV chargers go quiet after the quote.
- Permits and inspections. Dates live in a notebook.
Storm weeks are worse. After Hurricane Beryl in July 2024, CenterPoint faced about 2.26 million outages, per the Texas Tribune.
What we would build first
A text-back that books
A missed call gets a text from your number within a minute. It says it is automated and offers real open times. "Sparks," "smoke" or "burning" alert you at once. See how missed call text back works, or compare AI receptionist vs answering service.
Quote follow-up for the big jobs
Panels, generators and EV chargers get a reminder after the quote. If the customer goes quiet, it checks in once or twice, then stops.
A CRM with stages that match electrical work
New call, quoted, permit pulled, scheduled, inspected, done, paid. Read best CRM for electricians first. Many shops do fine with one of those tools.
A review ask after every paid job
One text with a direct link, sent the same day. Read how to get more Google reviews for the rules.
What should the assistant do with a dangerous call?
Send it to a person, never give repair steps, and tell anyone who sees smoke or sparks to call 911. CenterPoint says to stay at least 35 feet from a downed line, call 911 if someone is hurt and report the line. For sparks, a burning smell or warm outlets, the NFPA tip sheet says to call a qualified electrician.
Marketing that fits electricians
- Google Business Profile. "Electrician near me" is decided on the map. See the profile checklist.
- A website with your license number. Texas requires your name and TECL license number on ads, proposals, invoices and both sides of your trucks (16 TAC §73.51).
- Meta ads for planned work. Generators, EV chargers and panels. Read what a Meta ads budget buys first.
How it works day to day
- A call rings out while you are on a job.
- Within a minute, a text asks what is wrong and offers two real windows.
- The job lands in your calendar and CRM with the whole thread.
- Danger words and price questions come to you first.
Who this fits
It fits owner-run electrical companies with one to a dozen trucks. If a dispatcher answers every call in seconds, you may not need it.
How pricing works
- First call: free, 15 to 30 minutes.
- Price: set on that call, flat and in writing. A text-back alone is a smaller build. A CRM with booking and a dashboard is larger.
- Monthly: hosting, AI usage, upkeep, updates and support. You own what we build. If we run Meta ads, ad spend is paid to Meta directly.
What it will not do
It does not answer the phone, diagnose, price a job or replace you in an emergency. The text recovers the lead. If a tool you already pay for covers it, like the AI receptionist add-on Jobber lists at $29 a month, we will say so.
