Questions from snow and landscaping pros
Do my seasonal contracts go in the book?
No. The book is for appointments (a time, an address). A contract request comes to you as a question, and you answer in your own words.
And during a storm?
It answers customers while you plow, from what you taught it. What it doesn't know, it asks you, and waits for your answer.
Does it change my cell number?
No. Respondo has its own number, next to yours. Your current customers keep texting you as before.
What if someone calls the number?
They hear a short message in French and English, and get a text to carry on in writing.
Do my customers see Respondo?
Once per conversation, a "Provided by: respondo.ca" line is added to one reply. And if a customer asks whether they're talking to a bot, it says so.
What is kept?
Files you send are deleted once read; only the useful text is kept, like prices and conditions. It never gives out your cell number.
How long does setup take?
Under 5 minutes, by text. Text 587-329-8579, answer a few questions, and your number is live.
How much does it cost?
