    Let's show you how Lexi could work for your business.

    The problem when you're on the tools

    Being good at the job doesn't matter if the customer never gets through.

    For high-intent local-service searches, the first business to answer usually wins the job. The customer rarely waits.

    Customer has a problem

    Urgent enquiry. Searches Google and calls Business A.

    No answer

    You're on a job or driving. The call goes unanswered.

    Calls Business B

    They hang up and call the next company on the list. Job lost.

    Without Lexi

    • A customer has an urgent problem and calls you while you're underneath a sink or up a ladder.
    • You're driving between jobs and the phone rings. You can't safely answer.
    • Two calls arrive at once during a busy morning.
    • Someone calls at 8pm after finding you on Google. Nobody is in the office.
    • Several calls come in at once after a local advertising campaign.
    • A customer reaches voicemail, hangs up and simply calls the next tradesperson on the list.
    Missed call → missed job → lost revenue

    With Lexi

    Lexi answers immediately while you keep working. She captures the customer's details, asks the right qualification questions and books the appointment where configured, so no job slips away to a competitor.

    You keep working

    Every call answered. Every enquiry captured. Jobs kept on your books, not your competitor's.

    How Lexi helps a trades business

    An extra pair of hands on the phone. Available 24/7.

    Lexi works alongside you, handling the calls you can't get to, following your business's rules and information.

    Incoming Call Answering

    Answers calls while you're on the tools, driving or finishing another job.

    Capture Customer Information

    Takes down the caller's name, number and details so nothing is lost.

    Ask Qualification Questions

    Asks the questions that matter to your business before a job is booked.

    Determine the Service Required

    Identifies what the customer needs so you arrive prepared.

    Capture Postcode & Location

    Confirms where the job is so you can plan your route and coverage area.

    Identify Urgency

    Flags emergency and high-priority enquiries so they can be handled first.

    Book Appointments

    Books jobs into your calendar where configured and supported by your systems.

    Send Information via SMS

    Sends confirmation or details by SMS during or after the call where configured.

    Transfer Important Calls

    If a caller needs you directly, Lexi can transfer or escalate according to your rules.

    Out-of-Hours Enquiries

    Handles calls outside your working hours so evening enquiries don't go to a competitor.

    Multiple Callers at Once

    Unlike one person on one phone, Lexi can handle several callers simultaneously.

    Lead qualification

    Lexi asks the questions that matter to your business.

    Every business is different. Lexi can be configured to ask the qualification questions you'd ask yourself. These are examples, not fixed requirements.

    1

    What's the issue?

    2

    What's your postcode?

    3

    Is this an emergency?

    4

    Are you the homeowner?

    5

    When would you like someone to attend?

    Questions are configured for each business. You decide what Lexi asks before a job is booked.

    How the same call plays out with and without Lexi on your team.

    Emergency plumbing call while engineer is under a sink

    Without Lexi

    Phone rings but hands are full. Call goes to voicemail. Customer calls the next plumber.

    With Lexi

    Lexi answers instantly, captures the issue and postcode, flags the urgency and books the earliest available slot.

    New boiler enquiry while owner is driving

    Without Lexi

    Can't safely pick up. The enquiry, and a potentially high-value job, is lost.

    With Lexi

    Lexi takes the call, qualifies the enquiry and captures the customer's details for a same-day callback.

    Customer calls at 8pm

    Without Lexi

    Office is closed. Voicemail until tomorrow, if they bother to leave one.

    With Lexi

    Lexi answers out of hours, handles the enquiry and books an appointment for the next working day.

    Existing customer wants an update

    Without Lexi

    Another call to juggle during an already busy day on the tools.

    With Lexi

    Lexi handles the request automatically where the connected system allows it, or takes a message.

    Several calls arrive after a local ad campaign

    Without Lexi

    One phone, one person. Most callers get a busy tone or voicemail.

    With Lexi

    Lexi handles multiple callers at the same time, so no lead from your campaign goes unanswered.

    Testimonial

    "If I'm driving or on a job, I can't always answer the phone. The problem is that someone with a leaking pipe isn't going to leave five voicemails. They'll call the next plumber. Lexi gives businesses like ours a way to make sure those calls are answered."
