BusyCrew texts every missed caller back in seconds, answers their questions, and books the job on your calendar. Installed for you, tested live, proven with a dollar figure every Friday.
Demo line goes live this week: you'll call it, hang up, and it'll text you back in seconds. Exactly what your customers would get.
Keep your number, your carrier, your phone. One forwarding setting sends unanswered calls our way. Answer it and we never enter the picture.
About ten seconds after they hang up, the caller gets a text from your business. Not a canned autoreply. It asks what they need and it answers back.
The AI asks the questions you would ask, handles the common objections, and books the appointment. Real emergencies skip all of that and ring you directly.
A short report. How many calls we caught, how many jobs we booked, and roughly what that work is worth. You'll know exactly what you're paying for.
Rough math with your numbers, not a promise. Business phone data puts missed calls at roughly one in four for small operations. Plug in what's true for you.
Why speed matters: companies that respond to a new lead within an hour are about 7x more likely to qualify it than those that wait even an hour longer (Harvard Business Review, 2011). The odds of reaching a lead at all drop roughly 100x between a 5 minute and a 30 minute response (Oldroyd lead response study). We respond in about 10 seconds.
I'm Will. I run a roofing company. Half our calls come in while the crew is on a roof, and for years those callers got voicemail. Most of them never left a message. They just called the next company.
I build software for a living too, so I fixed it for my own line first. BusyCrew is that same system, installed and tested for you. You don't configure anything. You don't learn a dashboard. You get a text when a job books and a report every Friday.
The $39 apps send a canned text and stop there. The big platforms hand you a login and wish you luck. We hand you a working system.
Both plans: $295 flat one time setup.
About ten seconds after the missed call. Fast enough that the caller is usually still holding their phone.
No. You keep your number, your carrier, and your phone. Setup is one call forwarding setting that only kicks in when you don’t answer. Takes about two minutes and we walk you through it.
US carriers require every business that sends texts to register first. It’s called A2P 10DLC and it’s the same rule for everyone, us included. We file it for you on day one. Approval usually takes a couple of days, occasionally up to a week. Your forwarding and calendar get set up in the meantime so you go live the moment carriers approve.
Yes. We text people who just called your business, which is about as clear as consent gets. Every first message identifies your business and includes opt out instructions, and STOP always works. We don’t send anything outside 8am to 9pm in the recipient’s time zone.
Their missed call text back only works inside their system, and it sends a static text. Ours works with whatever you run, has an actual conversation, and books the job. If you love your FSM, keep it. We’ll push booked jobs to you.
You already paid for those. Thumbtack charges you the moment a customer reaches out, whether you answer or not, and shares that lead with several other pros. Yelp bills the click when someone taps to call you, answered or not. Both platforms also rank you by how fast you respond. BusyCrew catches the calls they send to your line, so the leads you bought stop dying in voicemail and your response stats improve.
You set the rules: your hours, your service area, the jobs you take. The AI only books inside them. Anything it can’t handle gets handed to you with the full conversation attached. And real emergencies never get booked, they ring you immediately.
On monthly: cancel anytime, your forwarding turns off, done. No contract, no exit fee. On quarterly: you get a 21 day money back guarantee, then the quarter is nonrefundable, and you can cancel the next renewal anytime. The Friday report exists so you never have to wonder whether it’s worth keeping.
