AgentBuddy / Manawatu-Whanganui / Palmerston North / Plasterers
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.
Work in Palmerston North and your day is spread across the Manawatu-Whanganui map. AgentBuddy keeps the diary straight while you drive, and nobody gets a voicemail. Palmerston North is big enough to keep a trade busy year round and small enough that word gets around fast when you do not ring back.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. AgentBuddy works anywhere in New Zealand with a phone signal, Palmerston North 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.
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.
Leave your details and we will ring you to book your first setup call. Two minutes now, and you stop quoting at 9pm.
