How to Stop Missing emergency calls

Emergency calls = highest revenue:

Emergency work pays 1.5-2x normal rates:

• Burst pipe: $1,200 vs $600 normal
• Power outage: $800 vs $400 normal
• Gas leak: $1,500 vs $750 normal

The problem: Customers in crisis mode call multiple tradies simultaneously. First one to answer gets the premium job. Voicemail = automatic loss.

It's not your fault. Here's why it happens:

Burst pipes You physically can't answer the phone. Your hands are full, you're in a noisy environment, or you're already on another call.

Power outages You physically can't answer the phone. Your hands are full, you're in a noisy environment, or you're already on another call.

Gas leaks You physically can't answer the phone. Your hands are full, you're in a noisy environment, or you're already on another call.

The reality: You became a tradie to do the work, not to be glued to your phone. But modern customers expect instant answers—or they call the next person on Google.

Emergency call intelligence:

1. Detects Urgent Language "burst", "now", "urgent", "emergency" = instant transfer to your mobile

2. Bypasses Do Not Disturb Emergency transfers can bypass phone's DND mode (you enable this). Critical for night emergencies.

3. Pre-Qualification AI asks "Is this happening right now?" to filter real emergencies from "urgent quote requests"

4. Premium Pricing Prompt AI can mention "emergency after-hours rate applies" before transfer. Customer expects premium pricing.
