Why speed to lead is the whole game.

Companies that reach a lead within one hour are nearly 7 times more likely to qualify it (Harvard Business Review), and 78% of customers hire whoever responds first. For most contractors, one recovered bid covers the build.

The AI receptionist is the backstop for what falls through the cracks when your office manager is on another line, at lunch, or it is after hours. Not a replacement. A safety net.

How it's different from a call centre or answering service.

No call centre, no per-call fee, no offshore rep reading a script. It runs on your business number, writes in your voice with your trade's language, and hands the qualified lead straight to you.

Answering service
  • Per-call fee, shared script.
  • Booked into their calendar, not yours.
  • Rep reading from a template you did not write.
  • Business hours only, unless you pay a premium.
stoneVEIL receptionist
  • Runs on your existing business number.
  • Writes in your voice and your trade's language.
  • You approve every template before it goes live.
  • One click to shut off any thread.

Frequently asked.

Does this replace my office manager?

No. It is a backstop for after-hours, lunch, and simultaneous-call moments when your office manager is already on another line.

What does the pricing look like?

Workflow builds run $2,500 to $15,000 depending on scope. Managed retainers run $500 to $5,000 a month. The first audit is free.

Will it sound like a robot?

Messages are written in your trade's language and you approve every template before it goes live. Text beats voice for this anyway: SMS gets around a 45% response rate vs. about 6% for email.

Also automating for contractors.

Day 2 / Day 5 / Day 10, on cadence.

Every quote you send gets chased on schedule. The cadence stops the moment your customer replies.

Fewer no-shows. Fewer stale invoices.

Booked-job reminders and 7 / 14 / 30-day invoice chases. Both stop the moment the customer replies or pays.
