AI for Trade Businesses: Hype or Game-Changer?

AI is not about replacing tradies. It is about catching every lead, answering faster, and removing admin that slows you down. Here are practical wins we are seeing with Australian plumbers, sparkies, and HVAC teams.

🔑 Quick Wins You Can Use

  • 24/7 phone answering that books jobs (no more missed after-hours calls)
  • Instant missed-call text-back with booking links
  • Faster quotes built from call notes and templates
  • Review requests that run automatically after each job

1) 24/7 Phone Answering That Actually Books Jobs

Most calls happen after hours or while you are on a ladder. An AI phone agent can answer, qualify, and book jobs into your calendar. Keep the script short: confirm suburb, urgency, preferred time, then send a confirmation SMS.

2) Instant Text-Back on Every Missed Call

Missed calls equal lost jobs. Rule: when a call is missed, send an SMS within 10 seconds with your name, ask for suburb + job type, and offer the next available time. Pair this with an online booking link to capture the lead.

3) Faster Quotes With Templates

AI can draft quotes from call notes or form submissions. Use clear itemised templates: scope, inclusions, exclusions, timeline, and next step. Send within 30 minutes, then automate follow-ups at 24 hours and 72 hours.

4) Keep It Personal

Use your name, suburb references, and real availability in every AI message. Record a short voicemail that matches your SMS tone. Customers want speed, clarity, and confidence you are local — AI helps deliver that consistently.
