AgentBuddy answers your phone, writes your quotes and chases your invoices, so you can stay on the tools.
●Starting at NZ$29 a month plus usage. No card to start.
Auto electricians get calls from drivers stranded in a car park with a flat battery and no idea what is wrong. AgentBuddy answers, works out whether it is a jump start or a full diagnostic, and books it in without you climbing out from under a dash.
A caller has a car that will not start. AgentBuddy asks the questions that separate a battery from an alternator, then books either a callout or a workshop slot.
Someone wants a towbar wired for a caravan. AgentBuddy takes the vehicle year and model, quotes inside the range you set, and books the fit.
A tradie's ute will not turn over before their first job. AgentBuddy answers at 6am, triages it as urgent and puts the call straight through to you.
Yes. You give it the rules for each, including how far you will travel and what you charge for a callout, and it routes the job to the right one.
It asks for year, make, model and rego, reads them back, and puts them on the job so you can check parts before you leave.
You set a radius. Anything past it gets a polite decline or a referral, rather than you finding out after you have driven an hour.
AgentBuddy introduces itself as your assistant and never pretends to be you. Most callers care that someone picked up and booked them in. If a caller asks for you directly it takes a message or puts them through, depending on the rule you set.
It says so rather than guessing, takes the details and passes the question to you. You give it a pricing range it is not allowed to quote outside, so it cannot commit you to a number you would not have given yourself.
No. You keep your number and forward it to AgentBuddy, either all the time or only when you do not pick up. You can turn forwarding off whenever you want, and calls come straight back to your phone.
AgentBuddy starts at NZ$29 a month plus 25 cents for each customer conversation it handles. You pay for conversations that actually happen, so a quiet week costs less than a flat-out one.
Most auto electricians working on their own land between NZ$45 and NZ$130 a month once usage is counted.
Several vans and a steady stream of callers usually sits between NZ$150 and NZ$400 a month.
You choose a monthly ceiling. AgentBuddy stops taking new conversations once it is reached, so the bill cannot run away on you.
No setup fee, and no card needed to start.
Every auto electrician deals with the phone somehow. This is how the usual options stack up.
| Letting it ring out | Free | Most callers do not leave a message. The ones who do have usually rung the next auto electrician on the list first. |
|---|---|---|
| A phone answering service | Per call | Takes a message and passes it on. It cannot quote your work, book into your calendar or chase an unpaid invoice. |
| A part-time receptionist | Wages, plus holidays | Covers office hours. The 9pm call still reaches nobody, and you carry the cost in a quiet month. |
| AgentBuddy | From NZ$29 a month | Answers day or night, books the job, sends the quote and follows up on the money, in your name and your rules. |
We book them late afternoon or after five, because you are on a job all day.
The jobs you take, the ones you turn down, roughly what you charge, and what should happen when someone rings after hours.
It answers as your business, in the name you chose, working to the rules you gave it. Live by the end of this call.
A fortnight later we go through calls it actually handled and tighten anything that reads wrong.
One more round on whatever the first month turned up. After that it just runs.
Leave your details and we will get you set up with founding pricing.
