Why More Tradies Are Switching to AI Voice Receptionists
The Silent Killer of Your Business: The Missed Call
You know the feeling: You’re under a house, you’ve finally got the wrench on the pipe, and your phone starts ringing off the hook. It’s a potential client with an emergency job. You can’t answer it. You hit "Ignore."
That single missed call isn't just an interruption—it's money walking right out the door.
In the competitive world of Australian trades—whether you're a plumber, electrician, or builder—speed is everything. If a potential client calls and doesn’t get an immediate answer, they are already dialing your competitor within 60 seconds. Every unanswered ring is a job lost. You didn't lose the bid; you lost the opportunity to bid.

How Nova Solves the Two Biggest Phone Problems for Tradies
As a tradie, you have two critical phone jobs: answering new calls and making follow-up calls. You can't do either while on the tools, but Nova handles both, creating a full-circle communication loop.
1. Capturing New Jobs (The Incoming Flow)
When a potential client calls, Nova handles the conversation with precision and speed:
Instant Answer: Nova answers the phone on the very first ring—even at 7 PM on a Saturday or during your lunch break. 24/7 Availability is guaranteed.
Intelligent Qualification: She doesn't just take a message. Nova can qualify the emergency. Is the toilet just blocked, or is the pipe actively bursting? She captures the full contact details and the job address.
Automatic Booking: Based on your rules and calendar integration, Nova can book the job directly into your schedule, notifying you and the client instantly.
2. Securing the Follow-Up (The Outgoing Flow)
The work doesn't end when you hang up. Nova takes over the repetitive tasks that traditionally tie up your workday:
Appointment Confirmation: Nova automatically calls clients to confirm the morning appointment, drastically reducing costly no-shows.
Quote Chasing: Did you send a large quote last week? Nova can proactively call the client back to see if they're ready to proceed or if they have any follow-up questions.
Review Requests: Nova can call satisfied customers and direct them to your Google or Facebook page to leave a review, building your online reputation.
