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.
You're up a ladder in a ceiling running cables for a new submain, and your phone's ringing off the hook. AgentBuddy answers every call, books callouts for rewires or EV charger installations, and sends quotes so you can focus on the sparky work.
You're halfway through a switchboard upgrade and can't answer the phone. AgentBuddy takes the message, books a time for a fuse replacement or fault finding, and logs the job details including any RCBOs needed.
You emailed a quote for a house rewire two days ago and haven't heard back. AgentBuddy automatically sends a polite follow up SMS, offering to adjust the scope or answer questions about RCD requirements.
An invoice for a new downlight install is 30 days overdue. AgentBuddy sends a reminder with payment link, and if no response, flags the job for you so you can decide whether to put a stop on further work.
Yes. You set your after hours rules. For emergencies like no power, AgentBuddy can text you immediately or forward the call to your mobile. For non urgent jobs, it books a call for the next working day.
AgentBuddy connects to common New Zealand tradie apps like Tradify, WorkflowMax, and SimPRO. It syncs contacts, jobs, and invoices automatically so you don't double handle data.
AgentBuddy notes any product preferences like Clipsal or Legrand during the conversation. If it can't answer a technical question, it logs the query for you and sends the customer a quick update that you'll call them back.
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 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 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 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.
