Why Your Business Phone Is Both a Blessing and a Curse

Quick Overview

If you’re a plumber, electrician, roofer, or HVAC pro, your phone rings constantly. That’s good news—it means business is thriving. But let’s be real: not every call deserves your time. Some waste precious minutes while you’re actually working.

Common call interruptions include:

  • Spam calls – automated robocalls disrupting your workflow
  • Tire-kickers – people shopping around with no intent to hire
  • Important customer calls – legitimate inquiries you can’t answer mid-job
