- 1
A customer calls or texts your existing business number. When you cannot pick up, Pulse steps in within seconds instead of dropping them into voicemail.
- 2
Pulse texts back and has a real conversation. It learns what the customer needs, gathers the details, and finds out how soon they want it done.
- 3
It sends you a clean summary of the lead, so your follow up is a quick call to someone who already wants to buy, not a round of phone tag.
- 4
Avanon runs the whole thing as a managed service. We onboard your business, load your hours, services, and Austin service area, and operate the system so you never touch the setup.
What Austin small businesses lose to missed calls
You cannot answer and work at the same time.
Every hour you spend on a job is an hour the phone rings unanswered, and those callers move straight down their search results to the next local option.
After hours is when a lot of people call.
Customers look for local help in the evening and on weekends, and a business that answers then wins the ones that a nine to five voicemail loses.
Austin is competitive.
For almost any local service, a customer has a dozen options a tap away, and the fastest response usually gets the job regardless of who is best.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an answering service or software I have to run?
Neither, in the usual sense. It is a managed service. Avanon sets up and operates the system for you, so you get the result of an answering service without hiring staff or learning a tool.
Does it answer phone calls or texts?
Today Pulse answers inbound texts and texts back on missed calls within seconds, which is how a lot of Austin customers already prefer to reach a local business. Direct voice answering is in active development and is coming soon.
Will it work with the phone number I already have?
Yes. We connect it to your existing business number during onboarding, so your customers keep calling and texting the same number they always have.
Can it handle questions specific to my business?
Yes. During onboarding we load your hours, your services, your service area around Austin, and the rules you want it to follow, so it answers the way your own front desk would.
I am a one person shop. Is this overkill?
It is often the opposite. When you are the owner, the tech, and the phone, the calls you miss while you are working are the ones that hurt most. Pulse covers those so you can keep doing the job.
What does it cost?
Pulse runs around two thousand dollars a month, fully managed. For most local businesses, saving a few jobs a month that would have gone to voicemail more than covers it.
