A burst pipe calls once.
Hank answers that call.
A homeowner with water on the floor calls down the Google list and hires whoever picks up. If you’re under a sink when they call, Hank answers in two rings, triages emergency vs. estimate, books the job, and texts you the summary before they’ve found the shutoff valve.
That number is Hank himself — the same system your customers would reach. The demo is the pitch.

Deliberately conservative assumptions. $1,500 to get started (complete build + your first month of live service included), then $497/mo a month for up to 300 calls/mo, 75¢/call over 300. That's the math on averages — book a 15-minute call and we'll run it on your actual call volume, before you pay anything.
The calls
What Hank handles for plumbers
Emergency callers don’t leave voicemails — they call the next plumber.
After-hours calls go to a machine while a competitor’s answering service books the job.
You quote from a crawlspace, lose the number, and the callback never happens.
Emergency triage
Burst pipe, sewage backup, no water — Hank flags it, transfers to your cell or books the first emergency slot, your rules.
Estimate requests
Captures the job, the address, photos by text if you want them, and books the walkthrough.
Price shoppers
Quotes only what you’ve approved — service-call fee, water-heater ranges — never invents a number.
Existing jobs
“Is the tech still coming?” answered from your schedule without ringing you.
Every call recorded, summarized, and texted to you. Anything outside his rules transfers to your cell or becomes a message — he never guesses.
Beyond the phone
Once Hank is on your line,
the interesting work starts.
Hank is the front door — one problem, one price, live in 48 hours. Once he's answering calls for plumbers, he already knows more about how your business runs than any single tool you use. That's when the automation ladder above him starts to matter.

Put your cell in and he calls in about fifteen seconds. Ask what your customers would ask. Interrupt him. Try to stump him. Then read what this looks like for plumbers.
Request a call from Hank at Matthews Automation. You can ask about your business and hear how the conversation feels. A tailored demo of your own company is configured separately.
Straight answers
Questions plumbers actually ask
What happens with a real emergency at 2am?
Whatever you decide at setup: transfer straight to the on-call phone, book the first emergency slot, or both. Hank classifies the call, follows your rule, and texts you either way. Nothing waits until morning silently.
Will customers know it’s not a person?
Hank doesn’t pretend to be human if asked, and he answers in two rings at 2am — which is more than a voicemail box does. Callers care about being helped, and every call is recorded so you can hear exactly how it went.
Can he quote my prices?
Only the ones you give him. Service-call fee, standard ranges, free-estimate policy — anything you haven’t approved, he says a tech will confirm and books the appointment instead of guessing.
