Every Week, Your Business Loses Thousands to Missed Calls, Slow Follow-Ups, and Manual Busywork
On June 13, 2026, in Syracuse, NY — we're going to fix that in one day.
A hands-on, one-day workshop where you walk out with AI workflows installed and running in your business. Not theory. Not slides. Working systems.

You're on a roof. Or under a house. Or elbow-deep in a panel box.
Your phone rings. You can't answer it. The call goes to voicemail — if you even have one set up.
By the time you get back to that missed call at 7pm, the lead already hired someone else. Not because they were better. Because they were faster.
78% of customers hire whoever responds first. Not whoever has the best reviews. Not whoever gives the best price. Whoever picks up the phone.
And it gets worse.
That stack of estimates sitting on your truck seat? 44% of salespeople give up after a single follow-up attempt. One call, no answer, move on. Meanwhile, the research is clear — 80% of sales require five or more touchpoints before a customer says yes.
You already know this. You've watched $5,000, $8,000, $12,000 jobs walk out the door because you were too busy doing the work to chase the work.
The average contractor closes 40-50% of their estimates. Which means half your pipeline — half the leads you already paid for, already drove to, already spent an hour quoting — just evaporates. Not because you're bad at what you do. Because the follow-up never happens.
A lead contacted within 30 minutes is 21x more likely to convert than one contacted an hour later.
How many calls did you miss this week?
Here's the thing — AI can do all of this now.
It can answer your missed calls with a text. It can follow up on estimates automatically — five, six, seven times — without you lifting a finger. It can request reviews after every job. It can optimize your schedule so your trucks aren't crisscrossing town burning fuel and daylight.
This isn't science fiction. This is available today, inside the tools you're already paying for.
So why aren't contractors using it?
Because nobody's showing them how.
A recent ServiceTitan survey found that 54% of contractors want to invest in AI. But only 4% are actually using the AI features built into their CRM.
It's not because the technology is hard. It's because the people selling AI don't speak contractor. They speak "digital transformation" and "machine learning" and "synergistic automation."
You don't need a tech conference. You don't need a 47-video YouTube playlist. You don't need to hire a $5,000/month marketing agency to set up what you could own yourself.
You need someone to sit next to you and install it.
My name's Bradley Benner.
I started in the trades. Electrical contracting. I know what it's like to be on a job site at 6am and still doing paperwork at 9pm.
About 15 years ago, I moved into digital marketing — specifically for contractors and local service businesses. I've worked with hundreds of them through my agencies. HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, tree services. You name the trade, I've probably built marketing systems for it.
And for 15 years, I watched the same thing happen over and over:
We'd generate leads. Good leads. And contractors would lose half of them because nobody followed up fast enough. Or consistently enough. Or at all.
It wasn't laziness. These guys were working 60-hour weeks already. They didn't have a marketing problem — they had a bandwidth problem.
So when AI tools started getting good enough to actually handle this stuff, I didn't wait. I built AI workflows for my agency clients. Missed call text-back. Automated estimate follow-ups. Review generation on autopilot. Smart scheduling.
And it worked.
But here's what bothered me: contractors were paying me monthly fees to run systems they could own themselves.
So I decided to cut out the middleman.
That's what this workshop is. I'm going to sit in a room with 25 contractors, and we're going to install these workflows together. In your tools. On your accounts. Yours to keep.
No retainer. No monthly fee to keep the lights on. You walk out owning it.
What You Walk Out With
This isn't a seminar. There are no PowerPoint presentations. No "key takeaways" you'll forget by Tuesday.
You walk out with four AI workflows installed and running in your business:
Workflow 1: Missed Call AI Text-Back
Never lose a lead while you're on a job again.
When you can't answer the phone, AI sends an instant text to the caller — personalized, professional, and immediate. It captures their info, answers basic questions, and books them while you're still on the ladder.
Remember: 78% hire whoever responds first. This makes sure that's you. Every time.
Workflow 2: Estimate Follow-Up Sequence
Automated 7-touch follow-up that closes the jobs you're currently forgetting.
You send an estimate. Then life happens. The follow-up never comes. The customer goes quiet. The job dies.
This workflow sends a strategic sequence of follow-ups — texts, emails, the right message at the right time — across seven touchpoints. No nagging. No desperation. Just consistent, professional follow-up that keeps you top of mind until they're ready to say yes.
This single workflow can add six figures to your annual revenue without you making a single extra phone call.
Workflow 3: Review Request Automation
Every completed job triggers a review request — your Google ranking grows on autopilot.
You know reviews matter. You know you should be asking for them. But after a long day, it's the last thing on your mind.
This workflow triggers automatically when a job is marked complete in your system. The right message goes to the right customer at the right time. Your review count climbs. Your Google ranking climbs with it.
Workflow 4: Smart Scheduling & Dispatch
AI-optimized scheduling that cuts drive time and fits more jobs in a day.
Stop sending trucks back and forth across town. This workflow looks at your jobs, your crew locations, and your service area — and builds smarter routes and schedules automatically. More jobs per day. Less fuel. Less windshield time. More revenue per truck.
All four workflows. Installed. Tested. Running. Before you leave the room.
How It Works
This is not complicated. Here's the entire process:
Show up with your laptop and your FSM login.
ServiceTitan. Housecall Pro. Jobber. Whatever you're running. Bring your login credentials and a laptop. That's it.
We install the workflows together, in real-time.
Bradley walks you through each workflow, step by step. You're not watching — you're doing. Every click, every configuration, every connection. On your account, in your tools. If you get stuck, we're right there.
You leave with everything running.
Not "ready to set up when you get home." Not "here are the instructions." Running. Live. Working. You walk out the door, a lead calls while you're driving home, and the AI text-back is already handling it.
That's the difference between this and every other AI event, webinar, or course out there. They give you information. We give you installation.
Who This Is For
This is for you if:
- You're a home services contractor — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, tree care, landscaping, pest control, or similar
- You're doing $500K to $2M in revenue and feeling the growing pains
- You're already using field service management software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or similar)
- You're drowning in admin work and know you're leaving money on the table with missed follow-ups
- You want to own the systems running your business, not rent them from an agency
This is NOT for you if:
- You want to "learn about AI" in the abstract — this is a working session, not a lecture
- You don't have a laptop or FSM software — we need something to install into
- You're looking for someone to run your marketing for you — this is about building what you own
- You're not willing to spend a full day working on your business instead of in it
The Results Speak for Themselves
"We installed these exact workflows for a 12-truck HVAC company in Ohio. Within 60 days:
• Missed call recovery rate went from 0% to 34%
• Estimate close rate jumped from 41% to 58%
• Google reviews went from 2/month to 11/month
• They attributed $127,000 in recovered revenue to the automated follow-up alone"
"A 3-person plumbing operation in Texas added the text-back and follow-up workflows. In the first month, they booked 23 jobs they would have previously lost — worth over $41,000."
Replace with real numbers from Bradley's agency clients.
The industry is screaming for this.
ServiceTitan's 2026 industry survey found that 54% of contractors are willing to invest in AI — but only 4% are currently using AI-powered CRM features.
That gap isn't a technology problem. It's an implementation problem.
The contractors who close that gap first will dominate their markets. The rest will keep wondering why their close rates are stuck and their competitors seem to be everywhere.

But let's be honest about the math:
A single recaptured lead pays for this twice over.
One missed call that your AI text-back catches. One estimate that your follow-up sequence closes. One job worth $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 that would have gone to your competitor.
You're not spending $497. You're stopping a leak that's costing you $50,000 or more per year.
Want us to handle everything?
Some contractors want to go further. If you'd rather have Bradley's team do a white-glove installation — fully customized to your business, your branding, your specific workflows — plus ongoing optimization, we offer that too.
White-Glove Install + Monthly Optimization: $1,997 setup + $497/month
This isn't required. The workshop gives you everything you need to run these systems yourself. But if you want the done-for-you version, the option is there. We can talk about it at the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
The workshop is built around the major FSM platforms — ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and Jobber. If you're using a different platform, reach out before registering and we'll confirm compatibility. The core workflows work with most modern FSM tools, but we want to make sure yours is supported before you show up.
That's exactly why this workshop exists. We're not teaching you to code. We're clicking buttons together. If you can send a text message and log into your software, you can do this. Bradley built this process specifically for contractors — not tech people. Every step is guided, and if you get stuck, someone is right there to help. Nobody gets left behind.
Yes. These workflows are trade-agnostic. Missed calls, slow follow-ups, and forgotten estimates aren't an HVAC problem or a plumbing problem — they're a contractor problem. Whether you're quoting $500 drain cleanings or $15,000 roof replacements, the AI workflows work the same way. We've seen them perform across every major home services trade.
You get 90 days of email support included with your registration. If something breaks, stops working, or needs adjustment, you can reach out and we'll help you troubleshoot. You'll also leave with written installation guides so you can reference the steps anytime or train a team member on how the systems work.
If you show up, do the work, and your workflows aren't installed and running by the end of the day — you get your money back. Simple as that. We also offer a full refund up to 14 days before the event if your plans change. After that, your seat can be transferred to someone else in your company.
Three things:
- A laptop (charged — we'll have outlets, but bring your charger too)
- Your FSM login credentials (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, etc.)
- Admin access to your account — we'll be configuring settings, so you need full permissions, not a tech-limited login
That's it. No prep work. No pre-reading. Just show up ready to build.
25 Seats. That's It.
This is a hands-on workshop, not a conference hall keynote. Bradley is in the room with you. That means the group has to stay small enough for everyone to get individual help.
Twenty-five seats.
When they're gone, they're gone. There's no waitlist, no "we'll add more chairs." The next event will be at full price — whenever we schedule it.
Every week you wait is another week of missed calls, forgotten estimates, and revenue walking out the door.
You already know the problem. You've been living it. The question is whether you're going to keep losing $1,000 a week to a problem that takes one day to fix.
25 seats max. Founding event pricing. Your workflows installed and running before you leave the room.
