Overview
The problem we solve: The average service business misses 40-60% of inbound calls. Every missed call is a lost job worth $500-$2,500. That adds up to $15,000-$40,000 in lost revenue per month for a busy HVAC, plumbing, dental, or med spa practice.
How it works:
• Ava answers your phone 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays
• She speaks naturally, qualifies callers, and books appointments in real-time
• Integrates with your existing calendar and CRM
• Sends you instant notifications for every call with full transcripts
• Handles appointment scheduling, rescheduling, and cancellations
• Speaks English and Spanish fluently
