Here's what contractors tell us about their experience.
Your receptionist goes home at 5pm. Storm leads, weekend inquiries, and after-hours calls all go to voicemail. That's 72% of the week with no coverage.
A receptionist answers phones. They don't create content, manage social media, follow up with old leads, or book appointments automatically.
When your receptionist is out, calls go unanswered. One week of vacation could mean $5,000+ in missed leads for a busy roofing or window company.
It takes 2-3 months to train a receptionist on your services, pricing, and qualification criteria. RepDigi is configured in 15 minutes.
Average receptionist tenure is 18 months. Every replacement costs $4,000-$7,000 in recruiting, hiring, and retraining.
When a hail event hits and you get 50+ calls in a day, one receptionist can't keep up. Calls go to voicemail and leads go to competitors.
