Questions and answers
Search the answers we give most often.
How one lead moves through TradeReply
Five steps, from the first text to the appointment on your calendar.
A customer sends an inquiry
The text lands on the business's TradeReply number and becomes a new lead immediately.
Customer: Hi, my water heater is leaking in the garage. Can someone come look today?
TradeReply replies automatically
The assistant answers in the business's voice within seconds, so the lead is never waiting on a callback.
TradeReply: Sorry to hear that. Is water pooling near the base of the heater, or is it dripping from the top valve?
The AI qualifies the customer
One question at a time, focused on what the trade needs to know before quoting or dispatching.
Customer: Dripping from the top valve.
TradeReply: Thanks. Is the unit gas or electric, and roughly how old is it?
Customer: Gas, about 8 years.
TradeReply helps schedule the estimate
The assistant offers appointment windows, then records the booking on the lead and in Appointments.
TradeReply: I can get an estimator out today at 3:00 PM or tomorrow at 9:00 AM. Which works better?
Customer: 3:00 today works.
TradeReply: You're set for 3:00 PM today. We'll text a reminder beforehand.
