Why Cold Calling Isn’t the Answer Anymore

In today’s digital-first world, homeowners aren’t waiting by the phone they’re searching online and expecting fast responses.

If you’re still cold calling, here’s what you’re facing:

  • Long hours chasing lukewarm leads

  • Low conversion rates

  • Burnout from rejection

  • Wasted time you could spend doing actual work

Smart plumbers are replacing cold calls with AI-driven lead capture and it’s working.


What’s an AI Support Agent and Why Does It Work So Well?

An AI Support Agent is your always-on virtual team member. It automatically responds to incoming calls, texts, emails, and website chats qualifying leads and booking jobs in real-time.

With Vix’s no-code platform, you can create one in just hours and start converting leads while you’re in the field.


How AI Support Agents Bring in Jobs While You Focus on Service

Here’s what your AI agent can do for you:

1. Convert Inbound Leads Automatically

  • Engage website visitors with AI chatbot support

  • Respond instantly to missed calls using AI agent for SMS

  • Send customized replies to form submissions with AI agent for email

2. Book Jobs Without Manual Outreach

  • Offer appointment options directly in chat or text

  • Collect key info like job type, location, and urgency

  • Route qualified leads to your calendar or CRM

3. Follow Up Without Lifting a Finger

  • Send estimate reminders or quote follow-ups

  • Reschedule automatically if a customer doesn’t confirm

  • Keep the conversation going even while you’re on a job

It’s not about chasing leads anymore it’s about responding faster than your competition.
