Home service businesses don’t lose clients to competitors... They lose them to the clock.

I was auditing some local business pipelines recently, and the reality is brutal. Roofers, plumbers, and HVAC guys aren't losing jobs because of bad pricing or bad work.

They are losing them from slow follow-up.

Here is the silent revenue leak happening every single day:

❌ A customer calls for a quote → No answer.

❌ They wait 10 minutes → No instant reply.

❌ They go back to Google → And book the next guy who picks up.

That’s thousands of dollars vanishing into thin air.

The standard fix most agencies sell is the classic SMS Auto-reply: "Hey, we missed your call, how can we help?"

But let's be real. If a customer has a leaking pipe, they don't want to text. They want to talk to someone.

This is exactly why I shifted my entire focus inside GHL to building Conversational AI Voice Agents.

The new, leak-proof workflow:

✅ Missed call happens ➔ GHL triggers a webhook.

✅ Instant Action ➔ AI Voice Agent calls the lead back in under 2 seconds.

✅ The Close ➔ The AI answers their questions conversationally and books the appointment directly into the GHL calendar.

Speed + A Human-like Voice = Zero leaked clients and more booked jobs.

If a local business is still depending on manual replies (or even just basic SMS bots), they are bleeding revenue without even noticing.

Question for the operators in here: Are you guys still pitching standard text automations to local niches, or have you made the jump to Voice AI yet? Let’s discuss!
