The Challenge: Too Much Demand, Not Enough Time
As the company expanded, so did the volume of calls, estimates, and service requests.
The owner was doing everything possible to stay responsive, but every time the phone rang, something else fell behind — from job scheduling to follow-ups and billing.
Local hiring wasn’t an option. A full-time dispatcher in Michigan would cost upwards of $50,000 a year, plus benefits and payroll expenses. The business needed help that was affordable, reliable, and fast.
The Solution: A Dedicated Remote Dispatcher VA
Hard Hat Helpers connected the company with a Virtual Assistant trained in scheduling and customer communication for home service businesses.
After onboarding, their new team member took full responsibility for:
- Answering inbound calls and routing them to the right technician
- Scheduling service appointments and estimates
- Following up with clients on pending quotes and open jobs
- Managing customer inquiries through email and messaging apps
The difference was immediate — every call was answered, every job confirmed, and every client kept in the loop.
The Results: More Calls, More Bookings, More Balance
In less than three months, this small electrical company saw big results:
- Bookings increased by 35%
- Customer satisfaction scores improved thanks to faster response times
- The owner regained personal time and stopped working nights and weekends
- Over $40,000 saved annually compared to hiring a local employee
The company could finally focus on scaling — taking more jobs without sacrificing service quality.
