Your HVAC virtual assistant handles the office work so you can focus on fixing heating and cooling systems.
In the trades, when a customer calls and nobody picks up, they are not leaving a voicemail. They are calling the next company on the list. We found that HVAC and home service companies lose up to 50 percent of their potential jobs simply because the phone rings to voicemail during business hours.
The Hidden Cost Of DIY Office Work
HVAC business owners spend 16 hours per week on office tasks instead of working on jobs.
You lose money every time you answer the phone instead of finishing a repair.
Missed follow-ups cost HVAC companies $1.8 million per year in lost customers who call someone else.
Only 28% of your day goes to actual HVAC work when you handle everything yourself.
