A1 — Missed-Call SMS Recovery

Missed-Call SMS Recovery for GTA service businesses. Text back every missed call inside 60 seconds, ask the three questions you'd ask, and book the job on your Cal.com calendar — or ping your phone if it can't.

Built for GTA HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and electrical owner-operators who answer their own phones. Twilio + Cal.com + a tuned question script. Sixty seconds from missed call to text-back. Thirty days money-back if it doesn't pencil.

Watch the 90-second demo

90-second walkthrough

Watch a missed call become a booking.

Real screen recording. A caller from Mississauga rings the line at 6:47pm — a furnace not blowing hot air. Voicemail kicks in at four rings. Forty seconds later, a text lands on his phone. Two minutes after that, he's confirmed for a 9am visit the next morning. The whole thing without me lifting a finger.

Demo coming soon

Recording goes live after the Twilio A2P 10DLC approval comes through. Book a 20-min call and I'll walk you through the live system on screen.

Run the math

Pull your own numbers. Then decide.

Most GTA contractors miss 15 to 30 calls a week and don't track it. Drop your real numbers in below. The math runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.

That's $7,200 recovered against the $349/mo fee. Book a 20-min call and I'll walk you through the live system.

Defaults are deliberately conservative. The 20% close rate assumes most callers are real intent — not surveys, not spam — because the text-back filters those before you see them.

The whole loop

Five steps. Sixty seconds. No app to install.

  1. 01

    Call missed.

    A caller dials your business line; you don't pick up (job, after-hours, second line). Voicemail kicks in.

  2. 02

    Text sent.

    Twilio fires a text to the caller within 60 seconds: "Saw your call — what trade are you needing today?"

  3. 03

    Three questions answered.

    The caller texts back what's broken, where the property is, and a window that works. The script handles natural-language responses, not rigid menus.

  4. 04

    Booking confirmed.

    When answers are clean, the caller picks a slot from your Cal.com link. You receive the calendar invite and a transcript by email.

  5. 05

    Logged in your weekly report.

    Friday morning, the report shows that call — recovered, booked, and the dollars it pulled.

Who this is built for.

Built for HVAC, plumbing, roofing and electrical owner-operators.

Who this is for

  • HVAC owner-operators (residential and light commercial)
  • Plumbers — service plumbing, drain cleaning, emergency response
  • Roofers — repair, replacement, leak callouts
  • Electricians — service calls, panel upgrades, EV chargers
  • Garage door techs — install, repair, opener replacement
  • Junk removal and small-equipment landscaping operators

Who this isn't for

If your phone is staffed 24/7 by a real human — a full-time receptionist, a call centre, a partner who picks up every ring — A1 is the wrong tool. The system fills the voicemail gap. If there's no voicemail gap, there's no recovered revenue to chase. Tell me on the call and I'll point you at A2 (the AI voice receptionist) or just save you the $349.

Thirty days. Full refund. No clawback.

If the first 30 days don't pull in more revenue than the $349 monthly fee, email me, get a full refund of the first month and the $750 setup, and the relationship ends on good terms. No retention call. No "are you sure?" portal page. No clawback of anything I already shipped.

Refund issued via Stripe within 5 business days · CAD only
