Questions handymen ask.
Can it book the job?
It gathers what you need to book: the list of repairs, how soon, whose home it is and the address. You confirm the day when you call back.
Can it quote the job?
You give the quote. It gets you the full list, the timing and the address first, so the price you name on the callback is the right one.
Can I keep the number on my truck?
Yes. Forward your line to Telzee today, or move the number to Telzee for free. Either way, your receptionist answers it.
What if I answer the phone myself?
Then you take the call. Your phone rings first and the receptionist steps in when nobody picks up, or it takes every call while you’re on a job. See how a call flows.
