π¬ IDEA #17 β MISSED CALL TEXT-BACK SYSTEM FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Status: π’ Open β anyone can pick this up THE PROBLEM Small business owners β plumbers, HVAC techs, chiropractors, roofers β are doing the actual work all day and can't answer their phones. Every missed call is a missed customer. Most of them have no idea how many leads they're losing every single week because nobody ever told them. THE IDEA An AI-powered system that calls a business, leaves a voicemail to test their setup, and then once implemented β automatically texts any missed caller with a booking link, relevant info, or next step. Every missed call gets caught. Every lead gets a response within seconds. The business owner doesn't have to touch it. THE BUSINESS ANGLE Target the smallest, most disorganized businesses in your area β the ones with no website, no system, nothing. They're bleeding leads daily. Price it at $1,500 setup + $500/month retainer. Add-ons: Google review system, basic website. Get 100 clients at $500/month. Do the math. THE PROCESS (via @Daniel Coffeen ) 1. Use Claude to scrape local business phone numbers by category (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, etc.) in your city 2. Record a voicemail script that explains the missed call problem and offers the fix 3. Claude builds out the automated text-response chain per business type 4. Call businesses, leave the voicemail, follow up with those who respond 5. Onboard them, set up the system, collect setup fee + monthly retainer WHO'S BUILDING THIS @Daniel Coffeen β Already live. 93 HVAC leads scraped in Vegas. Claude is building the full system now.
