Industries
Built for your kind of business, not for businesses in general
A dental practice, a garage and a lettings office lose calls for different reasons and ask callers different questions. Maisie is written for each one — the questions she asks, what counts as urgent, and what she promises the caller.
Pick your industry to see the calls she handles, an example conversation and the plan most businesses like yours choose.
Plumbers
You're under a sink with the water off when a burst-pipe call comes in. It rings out, and they ring the next plumber on Google.
How Maisie answersElectricians
You're up a ladder in a loft with no signal to spare. Three calls come in during that hour — a fuse board, an EICR and a landlord chasing a certificate.
How Maisie answersBuilders
The site is loud, your hands are full, and the extension enquiry you've been waiting three weeks for rings while you're pouring a slab.
How Maisie answersDentists
Monday, 8:55am. Two nurses are setting up, one receptionist is on the phone and eleven people are calling at once — including three new patients who won't ring twice.
How Maisie answersEstate agents
Your negotiators are all out on viewings at 5:30pm when a portal lead rings about a property that went live this morning.
How Maisie answersHeating engineers
It's the first cold week of October, your phone hasn't stopped, and every missed call is a boiler someone else will fix.
How Maisie answersRoofers
The wind picks up overnight and by 8am you have nine calls, four of them leaks. You can only be on one roof at a time.
How Maisie answersLocksmiths
Lockouts don't wait. If the phone rings out at 11pm, that customer is calling the next number within thirty seconds.
How Maisie answersCleaners
You're on a job with a vacuum running. Enquiries for regular weekly cleans — your best work — go to voicemail.
How Maisie answersLandscapers
Spring hits and you get a month's worth of enquiries in a fortnight — while you're behind a mower.
How Maisie answersMechanics
You're under a car with the radio on. The phone in the office rings out and an MOT booking goes to the garage down the road.
How Maisie answersRemovals
Removal enquiries come in bursts on exchange days. Miss the call and the van stays empty that Friday.
How Maisie answersAccountants
January. You're heads-down on returns and the phone rings all day with new-client enquiries you'd love to take.
How Maisie answersSolicitors
You're in a hearing or with a client. New matters ring once and, if nobody picks up, instruct someone else.
How Maisie answersPhysiotherapists
You're hands-on with a patient for 45 minutes at a time. Every call in that window goes unanswered.
How Maisie answersChiropractors
Back-pain callers want to be seen today. If nobody answers, they'll find a clinic that picks up.
How Maisie answersBeauty clinics
You're mid-treatment with a client. The phone rings, the enquiry is for a £400 course of treatments, and it goes to voicemail.
How Maisie answersSalons
Saturday, both chairs full, music on. The phone rings eleven times before lunch and nobody can reach it.
How Maisie answersVets
Consults are back-to-back and the phone is relentless. Worried owners need an answer in seconds, not a voicemail beep.
How Maisie answersDriving instructors
You can't answer the phone with a learner at a roundabout — and new pupils ring once.
