AI Receptionist for Specialty Trade Contractors - Interior

{"faqs":[{"answer":"The AI Receptionist answers, qualifies, and books using your rules — so it captures the inquiry, gathers the details that matter (material, timeline, project type), and books the call. For deep technical conversations about vein matching or mitred waterfall edges, it hands the call to a real person on your team with full context, so nothing gets lost.","question":"How does an AI Receptionist handle technical questions about quartzite, bookmatching, or edge profiles?"},{"answer":"Yes. Worqd works with your existing CRM, helpdesk, and phone tools — no platform switch required. We know most shops aren't running dedicated fabrication management software, and that's exactly the point: you don't need to rip anything out for our AI systems to start answering and booking your calls.","question":"Will this work with the phone system and spreadsheets our shop already uses?"},{"answer":"The industry faces a 15-20% workforce gap and labor costs per square foot are up 12-18% since 2022 — skilled fabricators are hard to find and expensive to keep. Our AI Receptionist handles the phone load that would otherwise demand another office hire, at 70-lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team, freeing your existing people for production work.","question":"With the fabrication labor shortage, why add another system instead of another hire?"},{"answer":"Quickly. After your free growth call, we configure the AI with your qualification rules, calendar, and handoff preferences, and launch — paid campaigns and response can start producing booked inquiries within days of launch. We then observe lead quality and keep improving what converts.","question":"How fast can Worqd's AI Receptionist be live in our shop?"},{"answer":"Software is a tool you have to run; Worqd is a retainer-style growth partner that runs the whole path from first click to booked call for you — ads, creative, fast follow-up, and pipeline recovery in one plan with one report. No vanity metrics, and work is priced against the results that matter to you, not the hours we log.","question":"How is Worqd different from buying countertop estimating or CRM software?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Free Growth Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We find the bottleneck — where inquiries are slipping through, how your phone is handled, and what a booked job is worth to your shop."},{"step":"2","title":"We Build and Launch Your Setup","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Your AI Receptionist is configured with your qualification rules, your calendar, and your handoff preferences — working with your existing phone and CRM tools."},{"step":"3","title":"Every Call Answered, Every Lead Booked","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Inquiries get qualified and booked in under 60 seconds, around the clock.
