We call your leads back before your competitor does.
Web leads, missed calls, and open estimates get a live call from an agent trained in your trade. We qualify the caller, book the job into your schedule, and log the recording. You see every outcome.
You already paid for the lead. The follow up is where it dies.
Your ads worked. The phone rang or the form came in. Then the day got busy. Three places a booked job turns into a lost one, every week, in every trade we serve.
The form came in. Nobody called it.
A homeowner fills out your form and then calls the next company in the results while they wait. Whoever reaches them first usually gets the job.
It rang out during the busy stretch.
Peak hours, truck on a job, office slammed. The caller hangs up, does not leave a voicemail, and does not call back.
The quote went out. Then it went quiet.
Your tech quoted the job, the homeowner said they would think about it, and nobody followed up. Open estimates are the cheapest revenue in your business.
The calls a busy contractor never gets to. We make them, in your name.
You pick the list and the goal. Our agents make the calls as your company, follow your booking rules, and put the result where your team can see it.
Internet lead follow up
A new web form, chat, or lead vendor submission triggers a live call. We qualify the caller, answer the basic questions, and book the appointment. See how our internet lead follow up service works.
Missed call callbacks
Calls that hit voicemail or rang out during peak hours get a live callback, so the caller never has to dial the next company on the list.
Estimate and quote follow up
Open quotes get a scheduled follow up. Agents handle "we are still deciding," answer what they can, and book the install when the homeowner is ready.
Appointment confirmations and reschedules
Confirmation calls the day before, and a live conversation to rebook when a homeowner cancels, so your trucks stay full. Bookings land in your software through our CRM integrations.
Maintenance and membership renewals
Tune up reminders, service agreement renewals, and seasonal outreach to past customers before the rush starts.
Customer win back
Calls to customers you have not heard from in a year or more, with a reason to call you again instead of the company with the bigger ad budget. Pair it with live answering so the return call gets picked up.
Four steps. No new software. No new hire.
You define the campaign
Which leads, which list, what the agent says, and what counts as a win: a booked appointment, a confirmed estimate, a renewed agreement.
Leads flow to us
From your web forms, your CRM, or a list you upload. We review it with you before the first call goes out.
Agents call in your name
Trained on your trade, your service area, and your booking rules. Your customers hear your company calling them back.

Built for the trades, not a script read by strangers.
Most outbound call centers are set up for B2B sales teams. The agent has a script, a quota, and no idea what a drain cleaning costs. Perceptionist has answered for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and restoration companies since 1998. Our agents know the difference between a no heat call and a tune up, and they book accordingly.
1998
Trade trained since day one
We have booked jobs for home service contractors for more than 25 years. Your campaign starts with agents who already know the vocabulary.
50%+
Agents who stay
More than half of our agents have been with us for years, which means the person calling your customers knows your account, not just a script.
100%
Recorded and logged
Every outbound call is recorded and noted. There is no guessing what was said to your customer, and no black box reporting.
Works with what you run
Booked jobs go into your schedule, not a spreadsheet.
Perceptionist connects to the platforms contractors already use, so the appointment our agent books shows up where your dispatcher looks.
Run something else? Our own scheduler is available, so a named integration is a bonus, not a requirement. See how the ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro connections work, or view the full integrations list.
Inbound and outbound, one team
The agent who takes the first call makes the follow up call.
Most clients run both. The homeowner never repeats the story, and your reporting lives in one place.
Inbound
Every call answered live, 24/7, in your business name. Home service answering
Outbound
Lead follow up, estimates, confirmations, reactivation. Web leads your biggest leak? Start with internet lead follow up.
Part of the Perceptionist revenue capture system: answer the call, follow up the lead, book the job, report the result.
"Had the opportunity to sit down and talk one on one with Shasta whom I found to be very genuine, caring and perceptive, no pun intended. I trust Perceptionist would be the leverage I would need to expand the business. Thank you so much, Shasta!"
Questions contractors ask
Before you hand us your leads
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call 866-652-5968 or send us a note.
What are outbound call center services?
Outbound call center services are calls a provider makes on your behalf rather than calls your customers make to you. For home service contractors that usually means following up on web leads and missed calls, chasing open estimates, confirming appointments, and reaching out to past customers for renewals or reactivation. Perceptionist makes those calls in your business name and books the result into your schedule.
How fast do you call a new lead?
We attempt to reach your leads within the first 5 to 15 minutes of their entry. The first company to reach a homeowner usually wins the job, which is why this is the number we are built around.
Do you need my lead list, or can you work from my CRM?
Both. You can upload a list, or leads can flow to us from your web forms or CRM. We review the list with you before the first call goes out, so agents know who they are calling and why.
Will my customers know they are talking to a call center?
Our agents call in your business name and follow your booking rules. Most homeowners simply hear your company calling them back, with a real person who can answer questions and book the job.
Is this a long term contract?
No. There is no long term contract. You can start outbound follow up without locking yourself into a multi year commitment.
