Hi, sorry I missed your call — I'm on a job right now. So I can get to you fast, drop me your name, address and what the job is and I'll come straight back. 👍 Sent automatically by Vigilant Response

Cheers John — that's urgent, I'll be with you within the hour.
The hidden leak

Every missed call is a customer ringing someone else.

You're up a ladder or under a sink, the phone rings out, and by the time you call back they've already booked the next trade who picked up. That's not a small thing. It's real money walking out the door, every single week.

85%

of people whose call isn't answered won't call back — they call a competitor.*

£150+

the value of even a small job you lose to a missed call.

Dead simple

How it works

1

A customer calls, you're busy

You're on the tools and can't answer. Normally that job's gone. Nothing changes about your phone or your number.

2

It texts them for the details

Within seconds they get a friendly text in your name asking for their name, address and the job, so you've got exactly what you need to judge how urgent it is.

3

You decide what's urgent

You've already got their details, so you can jump straight on the emergencies and get back to the rest when you're off the tools. No downing tools every time it rings.

Why trades keep it

Three ways it pays for itself

💷

Stop losing jobs

The obvious one. Every rescued call is a job that stays yours instead of going to a competitor. One saved job a month covers the cost several times over.

🧑‍💼

Cheaper than hiring

The usual fix for missed calls is paying someone to answer the phone — £1,500+ a month once you count wages, NI and holiday. Vigilant Response does the front-line job for a fraction of that, so you put off taking on staff until you're really ready.

🎯

Get your freedom back

Stop being a slave to the phone. Once the text's gone out, the pressure's off — the customer's reassured and you can finish the job in hand and reply when it suits you.

Questions

The bits people ask

Do I need a new phone or number?

No. You keep your own mobile and number exactly as they are. We simply set things up so that any call you miss triggers the automatic text. Nothing changes about how you make or take calls.

What does it actually cost me?

Nothing to set up, and nothing for the first two weeks. After that it's £149 a month, and you can cancel any time. We take a card at sign-up so it carries on smoothly after your free trial, but you're never tied in.

Is it complicated to use?

Not at all — that's the point. We build and set the whole thing up for you. Once it's live there's nothing for you to learn or manage. It just quietly catches your missed calls in the background.

Can I change what the text says?

Yes. We'll write it in your name and your style, and you can tweak the wording whenever you like so it sounds exactly like you.

What if it's not for me?

Then you cancel before the two weeks are up and you've paid absolutely nothing. No forms, no hassle, no hard feelings.
