How it works

Simple as a phone call.

You keep your number and the way you work. CannyCaller just picks up when you can't.

  1. 01

    A customer rings

    You're on a job, driving, or it's gone 5pm. If you don't answer, the call goes through to CannyCaller.

  2. 02

    CannyCaller takes the job

    It answers in your business name, asks the right questions for your trade, and gets photos of the job.

  3. 03

    You ring back with the quote

    The details land on your phone straight away, so you call back ready to price it. The job stays yours.

What lands on your phone

Everything you need to ring back.

CannyCaller texts you each job as it comes in, and emails a summary every morning. You can see these on a call in your Test Drive.

Incoming callExample

CannyCaller
Hello, you're through to Example Roofing. Sorry nobody could get to the phone, I'm their assistant. How can I help?
Caller
Hi, our flat roof over the kitchen is leaking. Could someone come and give us a price?
CannyCaller
Course they can. Can I take your name and the best number to call you back on?
Caller
It's Sam, on this number. Are you a real person, by the way?
CannyCaller
I'm an automated assistant for Example Roofing. I'll pass everything straight to the team. What's the address, and roughly how big is the roof?
Caller
About the size of a garage. Can you tell me what it'll cost?
CannyCaller
I can't give prices, but they'll ring you back with a proper quote. I'll text you a link so you can send a few photos of the leak. When's best to call?
Caller
After 4pm, thanks.

Sent to the roofer straight away: name, number, address, the job, best time to call and the photos.

One-off setup, £399

We build your receptionist around your trade and the questions you'd ask, then test it with you before it goes live.

30 day setup guarantee

If CannyCaller catches fewer than 3 enquiries in your first 30 days, we refund the £399 setup in full.

Extra minutes over your plan are charged at cost and capped at £15 (Starter), £30 (Growth) or £75 (Pro) a month.

The 30 day setup guarantee

Fewer than 3 enquiries in 30 days? Your £399 setup comes back.

  1. When it starts. Your 30 days start on the day CannyCaller goes live on your number.
  2. What counts. An enquiry is a caller who leaves their name, a number to ring back and what the job is. You see every one, so we can both count them.
  3. How to claim. Email me after your first 30 days and I'll refund the £399 setup in full. No forms, no arguments.
  4. What it covers. The guarantee covers the one-off setup fee. Your monthly plan is month to month, so you can stop it any time.

Founding clients

We're taking on our first 10 trades.

CannyCaller is new, and I'd rather do a small number of setups properly than rush lots. As one of the first 10, I'll set yours up personally, test it with you before it goes live, and ring you after your first week and your first month to make sure it's working for you.

Who's behind CannyCaller

A real person you can ring, not a call centre.

I'm Daud Bhatti. I started CannyCaller because good tradespeople lose work every day simply by being too busy to pick up.

Before this I spent 7 years in finance, at Maven Capital Partners in private equity, Rathbones (a FTSE 250 company) and Bolingbroke. I studied Economics at Durham University, hold the ICAEW Corporate Finance Certificate, and co-founded DYPS, the Deals Young Professionals Society, which has more than 150 members.

Now I'm putting that to work for UK trades. When you work with CannyCaller, you deal with me. Your setup, your questions and any changes come straight to me, not a ticket queue.

What happens after you book

From Test Drive to live in about a week.

No contract to sign up front, and nothing to pay for the Test Drive.

  1. 1

    I get in touch

    I'll ring or text to pick a 20 minute slot that suits you.

  2. 2

    Your Test Drive

    You hear CannyCaller answering as your business, and I point out any other quick wins I spot.

  3. 3

    Setup and testing

    If you go ahead, I build it around your trade and we test it together before it goes live.

  4. 4

    Live, then check-ins

    We aim to be live within 7 days. I ring you after week one and month one to fine tune it.

Free, no obligation

Questions

Fair questions.

Anything else, email daudb2000@gmail.com.

What happens in the Free 20 Minute Test Drive?

In 20 minutes I show you CannyCaller answering as your business, so you hear exactly what your customers would hear. I'll also point out any other quick wins I spot, like quote follow-ups, getting more reviews or chasing invoices. It's free and there's no hard sell.

Will it give my customers a price?

No. CannyCaller never quotes. It takes the details and photos, and you ring back with the price. You stay in charge of every quote.

What if it gets something wrong?

Every enquiry comes with a written summary of the call, so you can see exactly what was said. If something isn't right, tell me and I'll adjust how it answers. It never quotes or books work, so the worst case is a detail you check when you ring back.

Do I keep my own number?

Yes. Your number stays the same. Calls you don't answer are passed through to CannyCaller, so customers ring the number they already know.

Will my customers know it's AI?

It answers in your business name as your assistant. If a caller asks, it tells them it's an automated assistant. We agree the greeting with you before it goes live.

Is there a contract? Can I cancel?

No contract. Plans are month to month and you can cancel any time. There's a one-off £399 setup, which is refunded in full if CannyCaller catches fewer than 3 enquiries in your first 30 days.

What does it cost if I go over my minutes?

Extra minutes are charged at cost, and capped at £15 (Starter), £30 (Growth) or £75 (Pro) a month, so there are no nasty surprises.

How long does setup take?

We aim to have you live within 7 days of your Test Drive. We test it with you first.

What about my customers' data?

Call details are only used to pass the enquiry to you. You stay in control of your customers, and we act on your instructions as your data processor under UK GDPR. See how we handle your data.

Do prices include VAT?

No. All prices are in GBP and exclude VAT.
