auto_awesome Solo Trades Follow-Up System

Your trade business is leaking jobs. We build the AI crew that catches them.

Most solo trade businesses lose 3–5 booked jobs per month to follow-up gaps — and most owners have no idea it's happening. Missed calls, cold quotes, dead leads, zero reviews. The audit finds the most expensive leak first, then we show you the one fix that pays for itself immediately.

Most trade companies do not need more chaos. They need the leaks plugged.

A busy owner can be doing great work and still lose jobs before the first real conversation happens. The audit looks for the simple leaks first: calls, quotes, old leads, reviews, and new-lead follow-up.

The Speed-to-Lead Gap

When a lead waits too long, they usually keep searching. The system is designed to help you respond while the job is still hot.

The Unanswered Call

If a customer calls and no one answers, that job may go to the next company. The first agent catches the miss and prompts a fast follow-up.

Follow-up gaps
Calls, quotes, old leads, reviews, referrals, ad leads, booking handoffs, and repeat-customer opportunities
AUDIT MODE: FIND THE FIRST FIX

The Agent Crew

Five practical agents, one simple job: catch the money slipping through the cracks. Start with one, or install the full crew when the business is ready.

FAQs

Do I need to understand AI?

No. You just need to know where leads are being lost. We handle the system design and explain it in plain English.

Do I have to install all five agents?

No. Most businesses should start with the most expensive leak first, such as missed calls or quote follow-up.

Is this a full CRM replacement?

Not at first. The first version can sit around the tools you already use, then we decide if a stronger CRM setup makes sense.

Will you make a custom dashboard?

For serious prospects, yes. We start with a visual mockup, then build only what makes sense after the leak is clear.
