Call ended · summary sent

Hello, I’ve got a leak under the sink and it’s pouring out.

I understand. Have you been able to turn off the water supply?

Yes, it’s off. I’m at 12 Lilac Road.

Thank you. I’m passing your request to the on-call technician as a priority.

What changes when the agent answers for you

Plumbers, electricians, heating engineers, air conditioning, roofing, renovation, cleaning. In your trade, every unanswered call is an enquiry that goes elsewhere.

Without an AI agent

  • Your technicians can’t pick up while on a job.
  • Evening and weekend calls go to a competitor.
  • Quote requests arrive incomplete and need a second call.

With PermanenceAI

  • No important call left to voicemail
  • Emergencies sorted using a script you approve
  • Fewer wasted trips

What the agent handles for your business

It asks the questions you would ask, in a natural order, and sends you a complete request.

  • Type of fault or work
  • Address and service area
  • Level of urgency
  • Repair, quote or maintenance
  • Type of building
  • Preferred time slot
  • Summary ready for the callback

A more predictable cost than a human receptionist

In some setups, a human receptionist costs around $1.70 per call, or more than $300 for 200 calls. The Receptionist plan at $99 excl. tax covers 350 minutes a month, with 24/7 availability. Compare with your own figures.

Human receptionist

  • Office hours
  • Variable cost: salary, employer costs, cover
  • Calls missed at peak times

PermanenceAI

  • Available 24/7
  • Clear plan, prices excl. tax
  • Several calls in parallel

Indicative assumption, in US dollars: reception costs vary widely by country, hours and employer costs. A call is not the same as a minute.
