Mother Road Ventures

Your phone is ringing. That call is worth $400.

We set up phone systems for trades companies that pick up when you can't. It quotes your prices, books the job, and texts you the transcript before you're back in the truck. Your number stays the same and nothing about how you work changes. You just stop losing jobs.

1

Keep your number.

We add conditional forwarding so the system only picks up when you can't. Second ring at 7pm on a Friday, when your office manager is on the other line, or when you're elbow-deep in a crawlspace.

2

It answers like a dispatcher, not a robot.

It knows your prices, your service area, and your booking rules. It quotes your diagnostic fee, books a real arrival window on your calendar, and takes a message when it shouldn't guess. If a caller smells gas, it tells them to get out and call 911 before anything else.

3

You see everything, instantly.

Every call becomes a text and an email: who called, what they wanted, and what got booked. Once a month you get a single page showing calls caught, jobs booked, and dollars recovered.

What it costs, out loud, on the website.

$2,000

to set up

$300/mo

to keep it running, tuned, and reported on

No contract, cancel any month. One saved service call a month and it's paid for itself.

Founding pricing is open to the first three Chicago-area shops. Ask about it.

FAQ

Does this replace my office manager?
No. It catches what they physically can't: after hours, weekends, and the second line while they're on the first.
What happens when it doesn't know something?
It says so and takes a message. It never invents prices or promises arrival times outside your rules. You set what it knows.
Do I have to change my number or my software?
No. Your number, your Housecall Pro / Jobber / ServiceTitan / paper calendar. We fit into what you run.
What about emergencies?
Gas smell or CO alarm and it stops booking and tells the caller to leave the house and call 911 or the gas company. Safety scripts come first, always.
What if I want out?
Cancel any month. The forwarding turns off and your phone works exactly like it did before. No hostage-taking.
