For handymen
Answer every small-job request before you finish the one you're on.
A handyman's day is ten different jobs, and most requests arrive while you are up a ladder. Gus collects what the customer needs from your website, texts you a short summary, and holds the request until you say yes or no.
Example texts an owner sends Gus
- What needs my OK today?
- Approve the Alvarez request for Tuesday.
- Send the quote to Jordan.
- Who still owes me money?
Sample quote (invented business, invented amounts)
| Line item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Replace bathroom faucet | $120 |
| Repair two sections of fence | $180 |
| Mount TV and hide cable | $90 |
| Total | $390 |
What's different about handyman work
- One visit often covers several unrelated small jobs, so the quote is a list of line items and not a single price.
- Customers often add "can you also..." later. Each addition reaches you by text, so nothing gets lost between jobs.
Questions
- They describe the job in the website chat, and you get the details by text before you approve anything.
- Gus never names a price in the website chat. Every quote waits for your OK by default. If you'd like Gus to send quotes automatically from prices you set, we'll set that up for you, and you can keep approval on any time.
- You approve or decline each request as it comes in and can block time off by text.
- No. You text Gus, the same way you text anyone.
