How it works

When someone calls and you don't answer, the system automatically texts them within 30 seconds: "Hi, this is [Business]. Sorry we missed your call — what can we help with?" Most people reply within 2 minutes.

The math

• Service business doing 200 inbound calls/mo, 25% missed = 50 missed calls.

• Text-back response rate ~40% = 20 conversations recovered.

• Close rate ~25% on those = 5 extra customers/mo.

• Average customer $400 = $2,000 extra revenue/mo from one $50/mo tool.

Tools that do this

• GoHighLevel (built-in workflow).

• OpenPhone + Zapier.

• Telnyx + custom workflow.

• RingCentral.

Message templates

Service business: "Hi, this is [Business]. Sorry we missed your call. What service do you need? We'll get back fast."

Emergency: "Hi, this is [Business]. If this is urgent, reply URGENT and someone will call you in 5 minutes."

After hours: "Hi, this is [Business]. We're closed but back at 8am. What can we help with? Or book online: [link]"
