Real data, real call recordings (de-identified), and plain-English playbooks. Published weekly. No fluff, no AI hype, no "10 ways" listicles.
Your AI receptionist answers the call, works out what the job is, and writes the enquiry into Fergus. The first ten Fergus users get it set up free, plus two months on us.
Most tradies buy an answering service for the nights. Call reports our customers shared with us say the work goes missing at nine in the morning, while you are already on another call. Talkify for Fergus answers those calls, triages the job, and writes the enquiry straight into your Fergus account.
Stories, numbers, and how-tos from our customers' phone lines, ours, and the broader NZ small-business call-handling scene.
