Your phone rings while you are on a job, with a customer or after hours. Our virtual receptionist answers every call, asks your questions, books the appointment on your calendar and hands you a clean record, for a flat monthly fee instead of per-minute billing.
A virtual receptionist answers your business calls remotely instead of a person at your front desk. Traditional ones are live operators who take a message. RevUp Now AI’s virtual receptionist is AI-powered: it answers every call, qualifies the caller, books the appointment and logs everything in your CRM. It is built around your business and maintained by us for a flat monthly fee. See our AI answering service and the cost of an answering service.
Callers with a problem rarely leave a voicemail. They call the next business on the list. A receptionist who is always available fixes that, but a full-time hire is expensive and still has lunch breaks.
Maybe some of this sounds familiar:
You cannot answer from a ladder or a customer visit.
Evening and weekend calls go to voicemail.
Live services cost the most when you are busiest.
A message means a callback and often a lost job.
A good virtual receptionist does more than take messages.
Answering. Every call, at any hour, including when two come in at once.
Qualifying. Job type, location and urgency, using questions you set.
Booking. Appointments go on your real calendar.
Routing. Urgent calls are sent to the person you name.
Follow-up. Missed or dropped calls get a text. See missed call text back.
Logging. Every call becomes a clean record in your CRM.
We write the greeting, the questions and the rules with you, so callers get what sounds like your company. You can start with after hours and overflow, keep answering the phone yourself during the day, and widen coverage later. Here’s how setup works. We also build trade-specific versions, such as HVAC, plumbing and property management.
Here is an example of how one call can run, using rules like the ones we would build with you. Your details will differ.
It is 7:30pm and a customer calls your business.
Answer. The call is picked up on the first ring with your greeting.
Qualify. They describe the problem, the address and how soon they need help.
Book. They choose an open slot and get a confirmation text.
Hand off. You see a clean summary in the CRM in the morning.
Urgent. If they described something you marked urgent, your on-call person is notified right away.

Ask every provider the same questions:
A flat build fee and a flat monthly fee to run and maintain it. No per-minute billing, so a busy week does not come with a surprise invoice. Month to month, usually live in about 30 days. Here’s how setup works. Comparing providers? See how much an answering service costs.
