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.
Roofers in New Zealand spend hours on the phone chasing leads, quoting re-roofs and repairs, and following up unpaid invoices instead of being on the ladder. AgentBuddy answers calls 24/7, sends instant quotes for coloursteel or tile replacements, and automatically chases overdue payments so you can focus on nailing down the next job.
After a hail storm, your phone rings off the hook. AgentBuddy captures caller details, confirms roof type and access info, and books a free inspection for the next available slot.
You finish a gutter replacement in Mt Roskill. AgentBuddy sends the client a detailed quote for the agreed scope and follows up with a link to pay the deposit.
An invoice for a full re-roof in Hamilton is 30 days overdue. AgentBuddy sends a polite reminder via text and email, then escalates to a phone call if unpaid.
Yes. It can triage the call, ask about the leak location and severity, and either schedule a urgent repair or patch appointment for the next day.
Absolutely. AgentBuddy syncs with Xero to create invoices and chase payments automatically based on your payment terms.
AgentBuddy can provide rough price ranges based on your preset square metre rates, and note the preference so you can confirm details later.
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 roofers 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 roofer 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 roofer 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.
