PhonePick

For electricians

An answering service for electricians who are up a ladder

You do not take a call with a panel open and the power on. So the phone rings out, and the person with no lights in half the house rings somebody who picks up.

Live in about ten minutes. From $75 a month. No contract, no setup fee, cancel any time.

The number that matters

A missed call is worth roughly $100 in expected revenue at typical trade job values — average ticket multiplied by the odds they would have booked.

You can check that against your own week. Below is the same sum with your figures in it.

What it's costing you

Do the sum on your own numbers

Set to a typical job for this trade. Change it to whatever is true for you.

Nothing is sent anywhere — the sum happens in your browser. It assumes PhonePick reaches every missed caller, and that they convert like the ones you already speak to. Whether that holds is your call, not ours.

What it does

Three things, on every call

Safe to ignore the phone

It answers while your hands are busy, and the whole conversation is written down for you.

It separates a fault from a quote

No power in the house and a quote for pot lights are not the same call, and they do not get the same answer.

It books around your day

It reads your calendar, so it never offers a slot you are already committed to.

And it learns. Anything a caller asks that it can't answer is written down for you — add the answer once and the very next caller hears it. It never guesses in the meantime.

And it answers in 85 languages. Someone who starts speaking Punjabi, Spanish or Hindi is answered in it mid‑call, and gets the whole job done in it — booked, quoted, written down. On every plan, with nothing to set up. What reaches you is in English either way. The full list.

On the Operations plan

And the rest of the front office

Everything above comes with every plan, from $75 a month. Operations, $149 a month, adds the work around the calls — these are the two parts that matter most here. Each one is off until you switch it on.

Invoices chased while you are on the tools

Once an invoice is overdue the customer is texted a polite reminder on the schedule you set, between 9am and 8pm, with a pay link if Stripe is connected — and paying by the link marks it paid. No threats, no fees, and a paid invoice is never reminded.

Wholesaler receipts, filed by photo

Snap the receipt at the counter and text it to your PhonePick number. It records the total and the tax printed on it, keeps the photo with the record, and flags anything it could not read for you to check.

In the US, texting starts once carriers approve your business, which usually takes one to three weeks. Calls are answered from day one.

A booking page of your own, on Operations and Growth: customers book a site visit themselves at phonepick.ai/book/your-name — from your website, the Book button on your Google listing or a QR code — and only at times that are really free, because the page and the phone share one diary. How it works.

Growth, $449 a month, adds sales calls: it qualifies the buyers who ring, tells you straight away about the hot ones, and calls back your website leads — only ever people who asked, or agreed in writing, to hear from you.

Before you ask

Electricians ask these three

Is it safe to leave the phone while I am working?

That is the point of it. It answers, writes down the whole conversation, and the summary is in your email before you have packed up.

Will it quote for a panel upgrade?

No. It books a look. Anything else would be a number nobody qualified put in your customer's head.

Can it tell a fault from a quote request?

Yes, and they are triaged differently — no power in half a house does not sit behind an enquiry about pot lights.
