The problem

You can't answer the phone from the top of a gum tree

When you are harnessed to a branch with a chainsaw running, you cannot stop to take a call. But the homeowner with a fallen gum tree across their driveway needs someone now. They are calling the next arborist on hipages. Storm damage enquiries, tree removals, and stump grinding jobs all go to whoever picks up first.

  • 80% of callers needing tree work won't leave a voicemail
  • Homeowners call 2-3 arborists and book whoever answers first
  • That adds up to 3-5 lost jobs per week
  • A full-time receptionist costs A$1,200+/month just to answer the phone
