Your AI virtual receptionist—built for the trades
As a home service business, your primary focus is executing quality work on the job site. The last thing you want to think about is a backlog of client messages and missed deals. With Distance, we’ll handle your messages to keep your business ahead of the competition.
Implementing a traditional virtual receptionist can be cumbersome—time zones, hours, benefits, training. Distance’s AI messaging service provides professional, accurate, immediate responses anytime, all the time.
Distance captures leads, organizes inquiries, and pushes data to your CRM or FSM. So you could focus on what matters—growing your business.
Your superhuman CSR for less
Outsourcing your lead capture and messaging channels is a hassle. Distance’s customized AI agent can handle all messages across all chances around the clock for up to 90% less than a traditional virtual assistant hire.
Unlock your team’s time
On average, Distance helps its customers save over 1,500 minutes of work per month. That’s roughly 50 days per year. We handle lead capture, appointment scheduling, message responses, and more so you and your team can focus on the highest-priority tasks.
Engage with your customers on their terms
Over 76% of clients prefer text-based communications. Thankfully Distance handles everything from live chat and SMS to social media DMs and email.
Multi-channel AI messaging
Distance provides businesses the equivalent of a staff member that answers questions, qualifies leads, takes notes—across all channels, instantly and 24/7. The best part? They do so at 1/10th the price of a traditional hire.
A powerful software solution for businesses in the trades industry
At Distance, we understand that a business in the trades comes with unique needs. Service-based businesses like HVAC, and plumbing, have specific workflows, communication channels, and business goals.
