— What Penny does, day to day

Penny owns customer-facing work — so your phone stops ruling your day.

01

Picks up the phone

WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, email, web chat, missed-call SMS — on it in seconds, day or night.

02

Asks the right questions

Qualifies the enquiry, takes the details, drops a tidy lead into your CRM with the right tag.

03

Books them in

Reads your real calendar, holds the slot, sends the confirmation and the reminder.

04

Sends the quote

Builds it from your price list, sends it across, chases politely if they go quiet.

05

Takes the deposit

Stripe deposits, balances and recurring charges — no awkward 'just checking in' emails.

06

Hands the tricky bits to you

Flags anything off-script. Never pretends to be human, never promises what she shouldn't.

Profile

Penny is the agent you put on the front desk. She answers your WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, missed calls, email and webchat in a voice you'd actually recognise as yours - friendly, quick, never robotic. She qualifies leads, books the slot, sends the quote, takes the deposit and hands the hot ones over to you.

She picks up every after-hours enquiry and sends the deposit link. We've stopped losing late callers to the next firm in Google.
