Sam vs an answering service for trades
What each is
A traditional answering service is usually a call center that takes a message for you, often billed per minute or per seat. Sam answers in your business name, captures the job details, and texts you the lead - without adding payroll.
Cost
NeverMissCalls is one flat price: 2 weeks free, then $397 CAD/mo. Setup $297 is currently waived. HST extra. Many answering services stack per-minute or per-agent fees that climb when call volume spikes.
Lead capture
Sam gets name, what they need, and a callback number - and reads numbers back - then texts you while the caller is still warm. A classic answering service often leaves a message slip you chase later.
Brand
Sam answers as your shop, not a generic call center.
What Sam does not do
Sam does not book into your calendar. You keep control of schedule and dispatch.
Who it fits
Ontario owner-operators roughly 1-6 people where the boss is still on the tools - plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, tow, landscapers, and similar trades.
