What callers want
Riley knows the calls handymen get.
- Small repairs and odd jobs
- Furniture and TV mounting
- Drywall, doors and trim
- Quotes for a list of tasks
- Rental turnover work
For each one she captures what you need to quote or schedule: the list of tasks; address and photos, if they can text them; when they'd like it done; best callback number.
Urgent calls
Emergencies don't wait for voicemail.
Riley flags urgent calls so you see them first, and connects the caller to you when they need a person:
- A door or lock that won't secure the home
- Water damage that needs a quick patch
Example call
Caller: “I've got a few things around the house, a door that sticks and a shelf to hang.”
Riley: “I can get that to the owner for a quote. What's the address, and when would you like the work done?”
