You can't answer the phone when you are on a job
When you are on the roof, under a crawl space, driving the truck between jobs, or running a table saw, you cannot pick up the phone. But the homeowner who needs an emergency repair or wants a quote for a deck build is not going to wait. They will call the next contractor on Angi.

How Contractors Use Jodie
Emergency Repair Call
The situation: A homeowner has water pouring through her ceiling from a burst pipe upstairs. She needs a contractor out today before the drywall caves in.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up immediately, takes the address, assesses the urgency, and gets the details. You get a text flagged as urgent so you can prioritize it between jobs.
Quote Request While On-Site
The situation: A couple wants quotes for a basement finishing project. They call three contractors from Thumbtack. You are on a ladder at another job and your phone goes to voicemail.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the project details: square footage, what they want, their address, and timeline. You get the full brief by text and can call them back with an estimate that evening.
Driving Between Jobs
The situation: You are in the truck heading to your next job. Your phone rings but you are driving and cannot safely answer it. By the time you get there and check, the caller has already booked someone else.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up the call while you drive. She takes the details, lets the caller know you will be in touch, and texts you the summary. You call them back from your next site.
Evening Call From Property Manager
The situation: A property manager calls at 7pm. A tenant has reported a broken furnace and he needs a contractor to fix it as soon as possible. Your phone is off for the evening.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the property address, the tenant issue, and the manager's contact details. She flags it as urgent and you get the message first thing in the morning, or right away if you prefer.
