The Problem

Local service businesses are haemorrhaging leads and they don't even know it.

📞

Calls go to voicemail

You can't answer while you're on a job. The caller moves on to the next company. You never knew they called.

Slow or no follow-up

You text back an hour later. They're already booked with someone who replied in ten minutes.

📋

No system for quotes

Jobs get quoted from memory, lost, or delayed. No pipeline, no tracking, no accountability.

Reviews never get asked

Satisfied customers don't think to leave reviews unless you ask at exactly the right moment — which never happens.

📉

No visibility on leads

You don't know how many people contacted you, how many converted, or where you're losing them.

🔄

Admin swallows the day

Chasing contractors, updating spreadsheets, sending reminders. The admin costs you more than the job is worth.

What DeskOps Installs

Every system a modern service business needs — installed and running in days.

01

AI Receptionist

Answers calls 24/7, qualifies the lead, books appointments, and updates your CRM — without a human. Handles the routine so you can focus on the work.

02

Missed-Call Text-Back

Instant SMS the moment a call is missed. "Hi, we missed your call — can we help?" The lead replies, you call them back while they're warm. No more cold leads.

03

Quote Automation

Standardised quote templates with AI-assisted pricing. Quotes go out in minutes, not hours. Pipeline status visible in real-time — know exactly where every job stands.

04

Appointment Scheduling

Calendar integration so clients can book online, instantly. Automated reminders reduce no-shows. Confirmations go to your phone, not your inbox.

05

CRM Setup & Lead Pipeline

Every lead — phone, email, web — lands in one place. No more lost enquiry forms, no more "I'll remember to follow that up". Full pipeline visibility.

06

Review Request Automation

The right message at the right moment after every job. Automated review requests that get sent when the job is marked complete — not when you remember.

07

Lead Follow-Up Sequences

Automated multi-channel follow-up — SMS, email, voicemail drop — for every stage of your pipeline. Turn cold leads into booked jobs without lifting a finger.

How It Works

From signed to live in five working days.

Week 1, Day 1–2

Audit

We look at your current call handling, lead sources, and workflow gaps. You show us how you work — we map the problems.

Week 1, Day 3–4

Build

We configure your AI systems — receptionist, text-back, CRM pipeline — using your real data and your real processes.

Week 1, Day 5

Test & Launch

We run a live test, show you exactly what's working, and hand over control. You review, we refine.

Ongoing

Run & Optimise

Monthly retainer. We monitor, tweak, and improve as your business grows. You get a reliable system, not a one-time install.
