Every lead gets caught now — day, night, and weekends.
Junk Galaxy is a growing Knoxville junk-removal company. Leads came in fast across calls, texts, and web forms — and some slipped through when the crew was out on a job. I built the intake, response, and reporting systems that make sure they don't.
A fast-growing crew can't also be a 24/7 answering service.
Junk removal is a speed game. The first company to reply usually wins the job — a response inside a minute converts far better than one that comes an hour later. But Junk Galaxy's leads arrive across three channels at once — phone calls, text messages, and web forms — often while the whole team is out on a haul.
The gap wasn't effort. It was coverage. Missed calls, overnight web forms, and texts that piled up during a job were the leads most likely to go cold before anyone could get back to them. Every one of those was paid marketing spend walking to a competitor.
Five systems that catch, answer, act on, and report on every lead.
Maddie — AI ReceptionistVoice + messaging agent
Answers calls and texts around the clock, qualifies the job, captures the customer's details, and hands a clean, ready-to-book lead to the team — so nothing rings out to voicemail.
Instant Lead Intake + ReplySpeed-to-lead automation
Every web form, text, and inbound lead triggers an immediate reply and gets logged in one place. No lead sits unread while the crew is mid-haul — the customer hears back in seconds, not hours.
Overnight Lead DigestMorning dispatch briefing
A 7:45am text, Monday through Friday, listing every lead that came in overnight — so the dispatcher starts the day knowing exactly who to call first, before the phones even open.
Dump-Fee TrackerOps + cost reporting tool
A per-truck check-in form the crews fill after each dump run — with receipt-photo reading — that rolls up into a 5pm summary text to the owner. Turns a shoebox of receipts into a daily cost number.
Email Triage + AlertsInbox automation + notifications
Automatically reads, sorts, and labels incoming email, and fires an instant SMS the moment a customer approves an estimate — so a green-lit job never sits unseen in a busy inbox.
Capture is solved. The next dollar is in the close.
- →Zero leads lost to coverage. Calls, texts, and overnight web forms are now caught and answered automatically — whether or not the crew is free.
- →22.9% lead-to-job conversion all-time (28.6% in the best month) against a 3–5% industry baseline — the intake systems keep the top of the funnel full.
- →Approved estimates get acted on the moment they land. When a customer says yes, an SMS fires instantly — no green-lit job sitting unread in an inbox.
- →The owner's day got quieter. A morning lead briefing and an automated 5pm cost summary replaced manual check-ins and receipt-chasing.
"Capture works — the leak now is closing."
With intake and response handled, the leads that don't convert aren't slipping through the cracks anymore — they're reaching a person. That points the next build clearly: faster follow-up and re-engagement on the leads the receptionist already captured, so more of them turn into booked jobs.
