AgentBuddy answers your phone, writes your quotes and chases your invoices, so you can stay on the tools.
●Starting at NZ$29 a month plus usage. No card to start.
Between laying brick veneer and building retaining walls, you can't keep answering the phone. AgentBuddy answers calls 24/7, sends quotes for blocklaying jobs, and books in the next brickie so you stay on the tools.
A homeowner calls about a cracked chimney. AgentBuddy takes down the job details, sends them a quote with your standard rates for brick removal and relaying, and books a site measure.
You finished a blockwall for a developer but the invoice is 30 days old. AgentBuddy automatically sends a reminder text with the invoice link and follows up with a call if needed.
It's pouring and you can't lay bricks today. AgentBuddy texts all your clients with scheduled brickwork, offers them new dates from your calendar, and books the earliest dry day.
Yes, you can train AgentBuddy with your own glossary of terms so it knows a 'course' is a row of brick and 'perp ends' are the vertical joints.
Absolutely. You set your labour rates per square metre and material markup. AgentBuddy will itemise the quote with brick, mortar, and drainage metal.
AgentBuddy answers the call, qualifies the lead, and either schedules a callback or books a quote directly into your calendar so you never miss a job.
AgentBuddy introduces itself as your assistant and never pretends to be you. Most callers care that someone picked up and booked them in. If a caller asks for you directly it takes a message or puts them through, depending on the rule you set.
It says so rather than guessing, takes the details and passes the question to you. You give it a pricing range it is not allowed to quote outside, so it cannot commit you to a number you would not have given yourself.
No. You keep your number and forward it to AgentBuddy, either all the time or only when you do not pick up. You can turn forwarding off whenever you want, and calls come straight back to your phone.
AgentBuddy starts at NZ$29 a month plus 25 cents for each customer conversation it handles. You pay for conversations that actually happen, so a quiet week costs less than a flat-out one.
Most bricklayers working on their own land between NZ$45 and NZ$130 a month once usage is counted.
Several vans and a steady stream of callers usually sits between NZ$150 and NZ$400 a month.
You choose a monthly ceiling. AgentBuddy stops taking new conversations once it is reached, so the bill cannot run away on you.
No setup fee, and no card needed to start.
Every bricklayer deals with the phone somehow. This is how the usual options stack up.
| Letting it ring out | Free | Most callers do not leave a message. The ones who do have usually rung the next bricklayer on the list first. |
|---|---|---|
| A phone answering service | Per call | Takes a message and passes it on. It cannot quote your work, book into your calendar or chase an unpaid invoice. |
| A part-time receptionist | Wages, plus holidays | Covers office hours. The 9pm call still reaches nobody, and you carry the cost in a quiet month. |
| AgentBuddy | From NZ$29 a month | Answers day or night, books the job, sends the quote and follows up on the money, in your name and your rules. |
We book them late afternoon or after five, because you are on a job all day.
The jobs you take, the ones you turn down, roughly what you charge, and what should happen when someone rings after hours.
It answers as your business, in the name you chose, working to the rules you gave it. Live by the end of this call.
A fortnight later we go through calls it actually handled and tighten anything that reads wrong.
One more round on whatever the first month turned up. After that it just runs.
Leave your details and we will get you set up with founding pricing.
