Eight o'clock to six

Seven forty: you are loading the van. A message comes in from someone in Perry Street whose tap will not stop dripping. Ten o'clock: you are under a sink on a job and a second enquiry arrives, from a landlord who wants a boiler service. At half past one the first customer has already rung two other plumbers.

You are not bad at business. Your hands are simply in the job when the enquiries land.

What an agent does with those two messages

For the dripping tap, it replies in minutes, asks for a photo, the address area and when someone is home, and offers the next free slot in your diary. For the landlord, it asks how many properties, collects the details and books a call for the evening.

Neither customer waited for you to come up for air.

It can also send the quote you have written and follow up two days later if there is no answer.

What it must hand back to you

A plumber's customers sometimes have emergencies. The agent should not give technical or safety advice. If someone writes about flooding, a burst pipe or a gas smell, the setup should flag it to your phone immediately so a person responds. Gas problems belong with the right professionals and emergency services, not a chat window.

What you do not give up

Your price, your judgement and your relationship with the customer. The agent only handles the wait.

Setting it up

Dean Keating's site lists replying within minutes, following up each lead, chasing quotes and booking jobs into the diary. He builds it in the email, web forms and WhatsApp you already use, trains you on it and keeps supporting it. The first call is free and the cost is given after it.

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and the setup is remote. Prefer face to face? Compare other providers.
