The old way

You're on a roof.
Your phone is ringing.
You're losing the job.

Voicemail = the caller moves on in 90 seconds

Hiring a receptionist costs $40k+/yr and they quit

After-hours calls disappear — that's when emergencies happen

Manual call logging means you forget half of what happened

You find out about a missed job when it's too late
