Welcome to the Akela Digital blog. We serve Home Service professionals nationwide.
Let's talk all things digital marketing for Contractors, Builders, Plumbers, Electricians, Roofers, and more.
What if you had a salesperson who worked every hour of every day? No breaks, no vacations, no overtime pay. Someone who never gets sick, never calls out, and never misses a customer.
Sounds impossible, right?
Not anymore. With AI-powered assistants, small business owners now have access to their very own 24/7 salesperson—and it costs less than $10 per day. No commissions needed.
Customers don’t live on your schedule. They browse your website late at night, send texts on weekends, and call during dinner.
The problem?
You can’t always answer.
Staff clock out at 5pm.
Hiring an on-call team is expensive.
Every unanswered call or delayed response = a lost sale. And in today’s world, customers rarely wait.
Thanks to Amazon, Uber, and other big brands, customers expect instant responses. If they don’t hear from you right away, they’ll move on.
82% of consumers expect immediate answers to sales or service questions.
Leads are 9x more likely to convert when contacted within the first 5 minutes.
Delayed responses cost small businesses thousands in lost revenue each year.
The message is clear: fast response is no longer optional—it’s mandatory.
This is where AI shines. With an AI Sales Assistant, you get:
24/7 availability: Answers calls, texts, emails, and chats day or night.
Lead qualification: Asks questions, filters out tire-kickers, and passes along only qualified prospects.
Appointment booking: Schedules directly into your calendar—without back-and-forth.
Follow-up automation: Nurtures leads until they’re ready to buy.
It’s like having your best salesperson cloned—and available around the clock.
Let’s compare:
Human receptionist: $3,500–$4,000/month + benefits.
Full-time salesperson:5,000 to $20,000/month + benefits
AI Sales Assistant: $200 to $500/month.
Even if your AI captures just 5 extra leads a month, the ROI is massive. And unlike humans, your AI never burns out or takes PTO.
HVAC Contractor: Captured weekend calls automatically, increasing booked jobs by 40%.
Wedding Planner: Secured midnight inquiries instantly, beating competitors to the contract.
Life Coach: Let clients schedule discovery calls while she slept—waking up to new business.
When you’re available 24/7, customers notice. And they reward you with loyalty (and sales).
Simple really. With the Akela Biz Hub, we offer a few risk free ways to get started.
