The Problem

Every missed call is someone ringing the next number on Google.

You can't answer the phone up a ladder, under a sink or behind the wheel. Most callers don't leave a voicemail. They just try someone else.

Calls come when you're busiest

The phone rings most when you're mid-job, and those are the calls you can't take.

Voicemail doesn't work

Most people hang up rather than leave a message, and you never find out who they were.

A receptionist costs a salary

A full-time person to answer the phone is a big cost for a small trade business, and they still go home at five.

How It Works

Choose how much Laura handles.

Keep your number. Decide when calls go to Laura and what she should do with them.

Overflow

You get first shot

Your phone rings as normal. Laura only picks up what you can't, so nothing goes to voicemail.

After hours

Evenings and weekends covered

Laura answers outside your working hours, so the 8pm enquiry is booked before the next business opens.

Full time

Every call, every time

Laura answers everything, qualifies the job and books it, so you only take the calls that need you.

Laura knows her limits

She's a receptionist, not a technician. She never gives safety advice or quotes a price you haven't approved.

  • Suspected gas leak or carbon monoxide alarm: straight to you, no troubleshooting
  • Flooding, fire or an electrical hazard: immediate handoff to a person
  • Prices: only what you've approved, or “the technician will confirm”

You set the rules

Every business chooses how calls are handled:

  • Emergency: call the owner directly
  • Existing customer complaint: route to the office
  • Outside your service area: decline politely
  • Anything unclear: hand to a person, every time
How It Works

What happens on a call.

Laura is scripted around your business, your services and your prices before she takes a single call.

  1. Answers in your name

    "Thanks for calling Murphy Electrical, you're speaking with Laura." No hold music, no ringing out.

  2. Understands the job

    Asks the questions you would: what's wrong, how urgent, what kind of property.

  3. Takes the details

    Name, number, address and Eircode, confirmed back to the caller.

  4. Handles urgency

    Emergencies go straight to you. Routine work gets booked.

  5. Books it

    Into a free slot in your calendar, in the right area, for the right person.

  6. Confirms by text

    The customer gets a confirmation and reminder automatically.

  7. Lands on your board

    The enquiry, recording, transcript and summary are all on the job record.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. If you add AI call answering, you keep your existing number and decide when calls route to Laura: after a few rings, after hours, or all the time.

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Laura sounds natural and introduces herself by name. Most callers just want their job booked, and she does that faster than voicemail or a call back.

What happens in an emergency?

Laura never gives safety advice. Suspected gas leaks, carbon monoxide alarms, flooding, fire and electrical hazards go straight to you or whoever you choose, every time.

Can she quote prices?

Only prices you've approved, like call-out fees or fixed-price jobs. Anything else is "the technician will confirm".

How is this different from other AI receptionists?

Most AI receptionists are standalone phone tools. Laura is part of FlashBooked, so every call becomes an enquiry on your board, with follow-up, quotes, scheduling and invoicing already connected.

How much does it cost?

There are three levels: Core CRM, Growth and AI Front Office. Setup is currently €0. Your monthly price depends on team size, workflows and integrations, and we agree it on the free demo before anything is set up.
