Built for pest control techs out on routes all day.
AI receptionist and missed-call text-back for pest control companies. When you're mid-treatment or between stops, Helm answers the call you missed, finds out what they're dealing with, and texts you a qualified lead.
A pest problem is an urgent call that won't wait.
Someone who just found a nest or a roach problem wants it handled now, and if you're mid-treatment on another property, they'll call the next company. Helm answers for you, finds out what the pest is and where, and sends you the lead so you can schedule the treatment.
How Helm works for pest control companies.
No new phone system, no app. Helm sits behind the number you already have and goes to work the moment a call goes unanswered.
The call comes in
A customer calls and you can't pick up because you're mid-treatment. Helm catches it through conditional call forwarding, so nothing changes on their end.
Helm answers in seconds
Before they move on to the next company, Helm texts the caller back (or answers by voice) and starts the conversation.
It asks the right questions
Helm finds out what's wrong, gets the address, and asks for a couple of times that work, one question at a time. It never quotes a price or promises a time it can't keep.
You get a lead ready to book
A clean summary lands in your phone and inbox: name, problem, address, timing, and the full conversation. You call back and book the work.
From missed call to booked job.
A real exchange in Helm's voice, and the lead that lands in your phone when it wraps.
Delivered by text and email the moment the conversation wraps.
Helm for pest control companies, answered.
Yes. When you're mid-treatment or driving your route and can't pick up, Helm answers the call you miss and texts the caller back within seconds. It finds out what the pest is and where they're seeing it, gets the address and a couple of times that work, and sends you a qualified lead by text and email. It sits behind your existing number, so nothing changes for the customer.
Yes. Helm recognizes a number it has spoken with before and greets returning customers accordingly, while still capturing the new request. So a regular calling about a flare-up between treatments gets handled smoothly, and you get the details without them repeating their history.
No. Helm doesn't quote prices for a job it hasn't assessed. It captures what the problem is and how widespread it is so you can price it accurately, and explains to the customer that you'll confirm once you take a look. It won't commit your calendar either; it gathers the times that work and leaves the scheduling to you.
No. Helm uses conditional call forwarding, so unanswered calls to your current number route to it automatically, with no hardware or app. You keep your number, and it works with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. Verizon users disable carrier voicemail first, which setup covers.
