{"faqs":[{"answer":"Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires, and CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary. Unlike an answering service, it replies in seconds, qualifies and scores leads, books appointments with confirmations and reminders, nurtures not-ready leads until they book, and screens spam so those minutes are never billed.

No voicemail, no callbacks tomorrow, no \"we'll get back to you.\" The lead that gets a reply first usually wins, and in home repair, first reply means booked service call.","proof_point":"Responding within 60 seconds makes you 391% more likely to convert than responding after 5 minutes"},{"icon":"DollarSign","title":"Receptionist Coverage at a Fraction of the Cost","gradient":"from-green-500 to-blue-500","description":"Equivalent human coverage for nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season would take at least two full-time dispatchers at $35,000–$45,000 each per year.
