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.
You spend hours on the phone quoting driveways and patios while you should be screeding concrete. AgentBuddy answers every call, sends quotes to clients and books your next pour, so you can focus on the finish.
A client calls about a new driveway. AgentBuddy asks about dimensions, finish (broom, exposed), and your availability, then sends a quote via text or email.
When rain is forecast, AgentBuddy calls your booked jobs to reschedule the pour and update your calendar automatically.
AgentBuddy sends reminders for overdue invoices on concrete jobs, saving you from awkward calls with clients who haven't paid.
You set your base rates in AgentBuddy and it asks the client the finish type to calculate the right price.
Yes, if a job is cancelled last minute, AgentBuddy can notify your supplier to hold the concrete order.
AgentBuddy integrates with most NZ trade tools like Xero and Job Management, or you can use its own quote system.
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 concreters 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 concreter 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 concreter 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.
