The call you get on the ladder.
You’re on a ladder with a wet roller when the phone rings. An answering service for painters that asks your questions while you finish the wall.
The exterior repaint before the house is listed
Listing photos are in six weeks. She’s calling three painters today; the first one to call back gets the house.
The rental between tenants
Keys change hands on the first. You need the rooms, the address and the date before you can say yes.
The HOA job with a deadline
A property manager wants twelve front doors and the trim before the board meets. Now you get the scope while you finish the wall.

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.
