AI inbound sales for cleaning companies.
AI inbound sales that fits a cleaning company's week, not the other way around.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Quotes with GST, rosters and payday filing for a spread-out team, handled without the Sunday night spreadsheet.
Cleaning companies need software built around their week, not against it.
Cleaning businesses run on recurring contracts and one-off quotes, both of which need fast, consistent follow-up to win.
Quote turnaround and scheduling reliability are what most decide whether a cleaning company keeps a client past the first job.
What AI inbound sales actually do
An AI agent that picks up every inbound enquiry the moment it lands - qualifies the lead, answers their questions with your real product knowledge, books the meeting, and only escalates the deals worth a human conversation. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Questions cleaning companies ask
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI inbound sales can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude / GPT-4 for conversation, Cal.com or HubSpot Meetings, Vector store of your sales collateral, Slack alerts for hot leads but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Anyone else in this space using AI inbound sales?
Plenty. An NZ B2B services firm cut average response time from 7 hours to 90 seconds and lifted demo-booked rate by 41%. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
