For appliance repair techs
The best AI receptionist
for appliance repair techs.
Dead fridges and broken dishwashers convert fast. To whoever answers first.
A Saturday morning, told straight
Their fridge died overnight. The £200 callout goes to whoever picks up at 7am.
It's Saturday morning, 7am. A family wakes up to find their fridge has stopped overnight. Defrosted ice cream pooling at the bottom. £400 of weekly shop in the bin. They start ringing appliance repair techs in their area.
You're in bed. Your van phone is on silent. Your wife answers your office line on weekdays only. They book the second tech they call, who picks up while making tea. You're £200 down.
Foan picks up in two seconds. Friendly and reassuring. Asks for the make, model if known, what's wrong (no power, won't cool, leaking water), how long it's been like this. Books a same-day call-out on your route. Texts you the symptoms so you can pack the right parts.
Appliance repair is a 'first answered, first booked' market. Customers don't shop around. They want a same-day fix. The tech who picks up is the tech who gets paid.
At a £200 average call-out and 6 calls a week missed, that's £4,800 a month walking past you. Foan is £49.
Same pattern works for fridges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, and microwaves.
