AgentBuddy / Canterbury / Burnside / Plasterers

Your office runs itself while you work

You're on site, halfway through stopping a living room ceiling, when your phone rings with a lead. Miss it, and that re-gib job goes to another tradie. AgentBuddy answers every call, books quotes for new plasterboard jobs, and chases payments while you focus on the finish.

Burnside sits in Canterbury, and a plasterer working here fields calls from all over the district. AgentBuddy answers every one of them, day or night, and gets the details down properly the first time. Burnside is a tight market where reputation travels, so the call you miss on Tuesday is the job someone else does on Wednesday.

Answer calls on site

While you're mixing compound for a texture coat, AgentBuddy takes a call from a homeowner wanting a quote to re-gib their garage. It books a measure time directly into your calendar.

Auto-send quotes

You finish a 50m2 soffit lining job. AgentBuddy instantly emails a quote in NZD with GST to the commercial builder, and follows up if it's not accepted within 48 hours.

Chase late invoices

A client from a cornicing job is 30 days overdue. AgentBuddy sends a polite payment reminder and offers to reschedule work only when payment is confirmed.

Common questions

Can AgentBuddy handle after-hours calls when I'm not working?

Yes. It answers 24/7, captures lead details, and sends you a summary. For repeat clients, it can even book a follow up without waking you.

Will it understand terms like 'stopping' or 'gib fixing'?

Absolutely. AgentBuddy is trained on trade lingo. If a client says they need 'a room re-stopped' or 'new gib in the hallway' it books the right job type.

Does it integrate with Xero or other invoicing software?

Yes. AgentBuddy syncs quotes and invoices with Xero, so you don't double enter. It can also generate quotes in NZD with GST included automatically.

Will my customers know they are talking to an AI?

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.

What happens if it does not know the answer?

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.

Do I need a new phone number?

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.

Does AgentBuddy work for plasterers in Burnside?

Yes. AgentBuddy works anywhere in New Zealand with a phone signal, Burnside included. It is set up with you over four short calls, all booked late afternoon or after five so we are not pulling you off a job.

What does it cost a Burnside plasterer?

NZ$29 a month plus GST for the agent, then 25 cents each time it handles a customer for you. A one-person outfit usually lands between NZ$45 and NZ$130 a month. You can set a monthly cap.
