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 to your knees in carpet glue or sanding a Rimu floor, and the phone rings with a new lead. If you miss that call, the job goes to another installer. AgentBuddy answers the phone for you, sends instant quotes for vinyl or timber flooring, and books measurements so you never lose a job while you're on the tools.
When you're flat out sanding and resealing a floor, the phone rings. AgentBuddy answers, tells the customer you're available, and books a free measure and quote for their new carpet or floating floor.
You email a quote for a 40m² hybrid flooring install. AgentBuddy follows up automatically the next day, and when they say yes, it books the install date and sends a confirmation.
A client hasn't paid for their polished concrete job. AgentBuddy sends a friendly reminder SMS and then follows up with a phone call, so you don't have to awkwardly ask for money.
You set up your services like carpet, vinyl, timber, or laminate with standard prices or per square metre rates. AgentBuddy uses those to send a custom quote and can even ask about pet allergies or underlay preferences.
Yes. If a customer wants a quote for new flooring, AgentBuddy books a time for you to go measure. Once the quote is approved, it schedules the install and sends the client a list of prep instructions like moving furniture.
AgentBuddy answers 24/7. It can take a message, book a measure, or send a quote immediately. You'll get a summary in the morning so you can follow up with any tricky questions.
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 flooring installers 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 flooring installer 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 flooring installer 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.
