The Challenge
Mr. Fix-It, a handyman service in suburban Chicago, had plenty of demand but struggled with lead volume. Small jobs—hanging TVs, fixing doors, minor repairs—generated lots of inquiries but low margins per call.
"I can't spend 10 minutes on the phone qualifying a $75 job," owner Tom Bradley explained. "But those small jobs lead to bigger referrals and repeat customers."
The Situation Before
- Monthly inquiries: 100+
- Qualified leads captured: 65
- Jobs completed: 48
- Average job value: $185
- Time spent qualifying: 15+ hours/month
The Solution
We deployed a handyman AI agent built for high volume:
1. Multi-Task Collection - Gathers full to-do lists, not just single items 2. Photo Requests - Gets pictures of problems for accurate quoting 3. Priority Sorting - Identifies urgent vs. "when you get a chance" jobs 4. Batch Booking - Schedules multiple small jobs in efficient routes
The Results: First 90 Days
The Revenue Impact
- Additional jobs: 50/month
- Average job value: $215 (higher due to task bundling)
- Additional monthly revenue: $10,750
- Annual impact: $129,000
Agent cost: $199/month.
ROI: 54x
What Tom Says Now
"The AI does in 30 seconds what used to take me 10 minutes—and it catches jobs I would have missed entirely. Plus it gets customers to list ALL their projects, not just the one that prompted the call. My average ticket went up 16%."
