The problem

You can't answer the phone with a wet cavoodle on the table

When you're mid-groom, holding a wriggly dog still, running clippers, or rinsing shampoo in 35-degree heat, you cannot stop to answer a call. But the new puppy owner looking for a summer coat trim is calling now. They found you on Google with great reviews. They are not leaving a voicemail. They are calling the next groomer on the list.

  • 70% of people looking for a pet groomer won't leave a voicemail
  • Pet owners call 2-3 groomers and book whoever answers first
  • That adds up to 5-8 lost bookings per month
  • A regular grooming client is worth A$80+/month in recurring revenue
