This is how a $600 job walks out the door.

It happens to good plumbers every week. Scroll through one evening.

Scroll

7:42 PM

Her kitchen is flooding. She calls you.

Water is spreading across the floor. She found you on Google, you've got great reviews, and she dials. It rings. And rings. Voicemail.

7:42 PM, across town

You're under someone else's sink, doing great work.

Hands full, wrench in one, flashlight in the other. Your phone buzzes in your pocket. You'll call back when you're done.

7:46 PM

Four minutes later, she's calling the next plumber.

He picks up. He's there by 8:30. She's relieved, she leaves him a five-star review, and he's the one she'll call next time.

8:15 PM

You call back. "Never mind, someone's already here."

The job is gone. So is the review, and the next three jobs from that house. You never even knew you lost it.

Same night, with TradePickup

Your phone rings under the sink. We pick it up.

She calls. If you don't answer in 20 seconds, TradePickup answers as your company, calms her down, and books you for 8 AM. You finish your job, check your phone, and the new one is already on your calendar.

It's not just one night

Voicemail sends customers to the next plumber on Google.

27%

of calls to home service businesses go unanswered, on average. Most owners guess it's under 10%.

85%

of callers who hit voicemail won't call back. They dial the next listing.

1 job

a month caught by TradePickup usually covers what it costs.

Figures from published home-service call-tracking studies.

How it works

Your phone still rings first.

  1. You keep your number

    Calls you don't answer in about 20 seconds, or after hours, forward to your TradePickup line.

  2. We answer as your company

    A natural voice greets callers with your business name, prices and service area.

  3. The job gets booked

    It asks what's wrong, takes the address and books a slot in your calendar or Jobber.

  4. You get a text

    Name, problem, address, time and the recording, on your phone right away. Emergencies get transferred to you live.

Pricing

Costs less than the job it saves.

Questions owners ask

Will customers know it's an AI?

It sounds natural, and if anyone asks, it says it's the company's virtual assistant. Most callers just want someone to take their problem seriously and give them a time.

What if I want to answer calls myself?

You still do. Your phone rings first. TradePickup only picks up when you don't, or on the hours you choose.

I already have a receptionist.

Great. TradePickup covers evenings, weekends, lunch breaks and the moments two calls come in at once.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. We switch on call forwarding with your carrier. It takes about five minutes.

Is there a contract?

No. Month to month. Cancel anytime.
