Your call flow. Your business rules.
Illustrative workflow. Your solution is scoped to your business.
Our services
From the first call to the work that follows.
Voice agents and AI receptionists lead the way, supported by customer follow-up, scheduling, and practical business automation.
Voice agents & AI receptionists
Plan a receptionist around your greeting, common questions, caller details, and when a person should take over. Call answering, message capture, and scheduling connections are scoped to your tools and verified before activation.
What we work toward: An agreed call-flow design, setup requirements, and acceptance tests before go-live.
Lead capture & customer follow-up
Connect the path from a call or website inquiry to the person responsible for responding. Plan acknowledgments, reminders, and follow-up around the way your team works.
What we work toward: A defined inquiry workflow, with clear ownership and a next step.
Scheduling & business operations
Identify repeated work across appointment coordination, quoting, invoicing, and customer records. Start with one useful connection rather than replacing everything your business already uses.
What we work toward: A scoped automation plan with requirements, costs, and acceptance checks.
Who we help
Small teams. Real operational demands.
Contractors, owner-operated businesses, and service companies across all 50 states and Washington, DC. Each setup follows your service area, business hours, and local time zone.
The Effex approach
Your process comes first.
We start with the problem—not a software subscription. The goal is a workflow your team can understand, use, and maintain.
Managed AI receptionist plans
A clear plan for your next customer call.
For contractor and service businesses across the USA. Each plan covers one business location, one AI receptionist, and one local receiving number.
Capture
$249/ month
300 inbound AI minutes / month
Answer inquiries and give your team a clear callback request.
Your greeting, FAQs, and service-area rules
Caller and job details captured
Call summaries to your business inbox
Callback requests for your team
Standard one-time setup: $399. Founding offer: $199 while available.
Usage and scope: Additional inbound AI time is $0.30 per minute. Minutes do not roll over. Your existing carrier and call-forwarding charges remain separate. Toll-free numbers, SMS, multiple locations, custom integrations, and outbound campaigns require a separate quote. Capture includes 30 minutes of configuration support per month.
Start with an agreed setup: Month-to-month service starts when your configured call flow passes acceptance testing and is activated. Your written scope confirms billing, cancellation, support, and any additional charges before payment. An inquiry does not enroll you or charge your card.
Appointments are estimate requests. Your service area, hours, local time zone, calendar, and notification inbox are set for your business. Booking does not promise a technician dispatch or emergency response.
How we work
A clear path from problem to working process.
1
Understand your operation
We review how calls and inquiries reach your team, what customers need, and where a person must stay involved.
2
Define the right solution
You review the proposed workflow, tools, price, responsibilities, and testing criteria before committing to implementation.
3
Implement, test & hand over
For an agreed project, setup is followed by workflow testing and operating instructions. Your team stays in control of customer decisions.
Let’s talk business
What should happen when your next customer calls?
Tell us how you handle calls today and where your team needs help. Looking for another workflow instead? Tell us about that too. We’ll review your inquiry and follow up by email.
No automatic purchase or appointment. You approve the scope before any implementation.
Yes. We welcome inquiries from contractor and service businesses in all 50 states and Washington, DC. Your receptionist is scoped to your own service area, hours, and time zone. Phone routing, calendars, and notifications are tested before activation.
Do we need to replace our current tools?
Not necessarily. We first review your existing setup. Tool compatibility and any additional subscription costs are addressed in the proposal before work begins.
What does an engagement cost?
Managed AI receptionist plans are $249, $449, or $699 per month, with included usage shown above. The first three activated clients can receive $199 setup. Additional work is quoted separately, and you approve the written scope before payment.
Can I try a live AI receptionist now?
Yes. Call 888-812-4789 to try the Effex contractor receptionist demonstration. Calls are recorded and transcribed for booking and follow-up. Use sample information and sales@effex.agency for a test booking email. Demo appointments do not dispatch a contractor. Your own business gets a separate setup and acceptance test before activation.
What happens after I contact Effex?
Effex reviews your inquiry and follows up by email to discuss your business and the next step. No appointment, purchase, or implementation is automatically scheduled.
A note about your inquiry
The form saves your first name, work email, business name, workflow selection, and message in Effex’s Wix account so Effex can review and respond. It does not subscribe you to marketing. Share only what is needed to discuss your workflow—not passwords, payment information, or sensitive customer records. Contact sales@effex.agency with questions about your inquiry or a request to remove it.
Our phone demonstration uses Twilio and Votel. Demo calls are recorded and transcribed; caller details, sample bookings, and call summaries are stored for Effex to review, with notifications sent to Effex’s business inbox. Use sample information and sales@effex.agency when testing booking. Ask us by email if you want a demo record removed.
