What we run

The six pieces of weekly work, in detail.

Specific, measurable, named. Each one runs on a cadence and arrives in a Monday morning report. Nothing here is "support" or "automation" — it's the work itself.

Service lines i.
01

Calls answered, live.

No voicemail bounce. No missed jobs because the office line went unanswered.

Cadence Every hour, every day Pickup target < 3 rings After hours Live to on-call operator

Your office line forwards to a trained team that knows your shop, your service area, and your pricing. We greet in your voice, take the work order, and route it to dispatch. Outside business hours, calls route to an on-call operator. Emergencies get handled; non-urgent gets captured for the next business day. You hear "missed call" approximately never.

02

Jobs booked in your CRM.

We work inside the tool you already use. No second dashboard, no separate spreadsheet.

Tools ServiceTitan · Housecall Pro · Jobber Booked within 12 minutes

Every call that produces work gets the job written into your CRM the same hour. Service type, time window, equipment, contact info, customer notes — all the fields your dispatcher reads on Monday morning. We don't ask you to log in anywhere new.

03

Invoices, same day.

The job closes on Tuesday. The invoice goes out on Tuesday. Sunday-night catch-up ends.

Target Same-day on every closed job Reconciliation Weekly

When the tech closes the job in the field, we draft, review, and send the invoice — with the photos and notes attached — before the day ends. Payments are reconciled weekly and flagged if a customer is past 14 days.

04

Estimates followed up.

The estimate that would otherwise rot — chased, on a cadence, until decided.

Cadence 24h · 72h · 7d · 14d Channel Phone first, then email

Every quote that isn't booked within 24 hours enters a follow-up cadence. We call first, email second, and never more than four touches. Wins are noted in your CRM. Polite no's are noted too — you stop chasing the same address every quarter.

05

Reviews requested.

After every closed job. By name, by phone, in your voice.

Channel Phone, then text Where Google · BBB · Nextdoor

Two business days after a job closes we call the customer, thank them by name, and ask for a review on the platform that matters most for your service area. The text link follows the call. Negative responses get routed to you privately — never publicly.

06

Renewals, before they lapse.

Service agreements on a calendar, not a panic.

Cadence 60d · 30d · 14d before lapse Renewal target > 85%

Sixty days before a service agreement expires, we reach out. Thirty days, again. Fourteen days, third time. Most renew on the first call. The ones who don't — we tell you exactly why so you can decide whether to call yourself or let them lapse.

Tools we work inside ii.
Primary
ServiceTitan

Our team is trained on Service Titan from day one. We work the same screens your dispatcher works.

Primary
Housecall Pro

Full support for booking, invoicing, customer profiles, and the mobile job card.

Primary
Jobber

If your shop runs on Jobber, that's where we live. Quotes, schedule, invoices, the lot.

If you use something else — Knowify, FieldEdge, or your own spreadsheets — tell us. We've onboarded inside other systems before.

What we are not iii.

Backbench is a service.
Not a tool.

We are not a software product. You don't log in to anything we build. Reports arrive in your inbox; questions get answered in Slack or on the phone.

We are not an AI receptionist. If we use AI, it's under the floorboards — you never see it, never manage it, never have to learn it. The interface is a person.

We are not offshore VAs. The team is in the United States. Operators, not a script.

We are not enterprise. If your shop runs more than 15 trucks, we're probably not the right fit.

A 60-day pilot,
at no cost.

For the first three Nashville shops. Cancel any time, no penalty. We onboard inside your existing CRM, go live in week one, and you get the full 60 days before you decide anything.
