## Problem

After-hours and overflow calls went unanswered and those homeowners called the next company.

## How to do this

1. Call routing for after-hours and overflow
2. Clear booking rules and service area
3. TCPA-compliant texting consent

This uses AI to call or text people. Only turn it on where you already have permission to contact them.

## Verdict

Leads that used to ring out become booked jobs.
