The AI Receptionist Built for Tradies

You're on site. The phone rings. You can't answer. That lead is gone.

ReceptFlow picks up every call and website enquiry, asks about the job, qualifies the lead, and books it into your calendar. 24/7. No missed jobs.

The Missed Call Problem

Australian tradies lose thousands in revenue every month to calls they can't answer. Here's why:

You're physically unavailable

Up a ladder, under a sink, in a ceiling. Your hands are full and your phone is in the van.

Customers call outside hours

60-70% of homeowners search for tradies in the evening. By the time you see the missed call, they've booked someone else.

Voicemail doesn't cut it

Less than 20% of callers leave a voicemail. The rest hang up and call the next tradie on Google.

How It Works for Your Trade

ReceptFlow is pre-configured with industry-specific questions for each trade. No generic scripts.

Painters

Painters miss 40-60% of calls during active jobs

The problem

You're up a ladder when the phone rings. By the time you call back, they've found someone else.

How ReceptFlow helps

AI answers immediately, asks about interior/exterior, room count, and preferred timing. Books a quote visit into your calendar.

Plumbers

73% of plumbing leads call outside 9-5 business hours

The problem

Emergency calls at 2am. Routine quote requests at 6pm. You can't answer them all.

How ReceptFlow helps

AI triages urgency — emergencies get flagged instantly via SMS, routine jobs get qualified and booked for a callback window.

Electricians

The average sparky misses 3-5 calls per day on active jobs

The problem

You're in a ceiling cavity or at a switchboard. Missing calls means missing jobs — especially new home builds.

How ReceptFlow helps

AI qualifies the job type (residential, commercial, emergency), location, and timeline. You get a clean lead summary before calling back.

Cleaners

End-of-lease cleaning searches peak 8pm-11pm

The problem

Homeowners request quotes at night after seeing a messy house. By morning, they've moved on.

How ReceptFlow helps

AI captures property size, frequency preference, and special requests. Books an inspection or confirms recurring cleaning slots.

Landscapers

Landscaping demand peaks on weekends when you're busiest

The problem

You're on a mower or operating heavy equipment all day. Zero chance of answering the phone.

How ReceptFlow helps

AI asks about the job scope (turf, gardens, hardscape, maintenance), property size, and budget range. Sets up a site visit.

Builders & Roofers

Builders report losing 2-3 qualified leads per week to missed calls

The problem

Multi-week projects mean you're unreachable for days. New clients give up and call someone else.

How ReceptFlow helps

AI handles initial enquiries, explains your availability, and books consultation times that work around your project schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does an AI receptionist work for tradies?

ReceptFlow answers your business phone and website enquiries with a natural-sounding AI. When a customer calls or chats, the AI greets them, asks about the job (type of work, location, preferred timing), qualifies the lead, and either books a quote visit into your Google Calendar or sends you the details via SMS and email. It works 24/7 including nights, weekends, and public holidays.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

The AI sounds natural and conversational — it understands Australian English, slang, and suburb names. Most callers don't realise it's AI. If a caller asks, the AI will be upfront. You can also set it to transfer complex calls directly to your mobile.

What happens if there's an emergency job?

ReceptFlow detects urgency keywords like 'burst pipe', 'no power', 'leak', or 'emergency'. These get flagged as high-priority and you receive an immediate SMS alert so you can respond within minutes.

How much does it cost compared to a human receptionist?

ReceptFlow starts at $79.99/month AUD with unlimited voice calls. A part-time human receptionist costs $25-35/hour ($2,000-4,000/month for coverage). ReceptFlow works 24/7 for a fraction of the cost.

Can I try it before committing?

Yes. 7-day free trial on all plans. No credit card required to sign up. You only enter payment when you're ready to activate full features.

Does it work with my existing phone number?

ReceptFlow provisions a dedicated Australian phone number. You can forward your existing number to it, or use it as your primary business line. Calls are answered in your business name.
