Missed calls after you close
Office hours end. The phone rings out or goes to voicemail. The website can still be read — it just can’t have the conversation.
For local businesses in the Smokies
Stop Losing Customers to Businesses That Answer Faster.
Your website answers and books customers 24/7 — even at 10 PM. Peter Osterhout sets up an assistant on your site that can answer from your own pages and take a name and number when someone wants to book or needs a callback.
Two-week free trial of your own assistant. $497 setup + $197 a month if you keep it. Cancel anytime.
The live example is a demonstration on a copy of a Sevierville HVAC website. It is not that business’s live site.
The problem
After hours, your website goes quiet.
People still look you up at night. If they have a question and can only leave a voicemail or a form, a lot of them move on to the next business that answers.
Questions at 10 PM
A couple comparing chapel packages, or a homeowner with no heat, often visits when you are not there to pick up.
Forms that wait until morning
A contact form is better than nothing. It still sits until you open it — and many people will not wait that long.
How it works
Three steps. Peter does the setup.
This is a done-for-you assistant for your own website — not a course, and not software you have to figure out alone.
STEP 01
Peter builds your assistant from your site
He uses the information you already publish — hours, services, service area, packages — and sets the assistant so it does not invent prices or availability you have not published.
STEP 02
You try it free for two weeks
You get your own assistant, not a generic demo, so you can ask it the questions your customers actually ask and see how it handles a handoff.
STEP 03
Keep it for $197 a month
If it is useful, the setup is $497 one time and $197 a month after the trial. If it is not, you can stop. Cancel anytime.
What it does
Answers, captures the request, and stays on after you close.
Answers from your own pages
Visitors can ask about hours, services, location, or packages and get an answer drawn from what you already publish on your website.
Takes a booking or callback request
When someone wants a date, a visit, or a question you should confirm, the assistant can take a name, number, and the request so you can follow up.
Works at 10 PM — and at 2 AM
The assistant is available 24/7, including evenings and weekends, when a lot of local shopping and emergency questions actually happen.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Will this pay for itself?
It depends on what you charge for a job or a booking. The monthly fee is $197. If the assistant helps you capture even one job you would have missed after hours, that can cover the month — but that is not a promise, and results vary by business. The two-week trial is there so you can see it on your own site first.
How long does setup take?
Peter builds the assistant from your existing website. Timing depends on your site and how quickly you want to start. Call or text him and he will give you a straight answer for your business.
Do I need to be techy?
No. Peter sets it up for you. You do not need to install software or learn a new dashboard to start the two-week trial.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. After the two-week trial you can keep the assistant at $197 a month or stop. If you decide it is not a fit, call or text Peter and he will cancel it.
Try it on your website for two weeks.
Call or text Peter, send him an email, or request your free trial. He will tell you what he needs from your site and when he can have your assistant ready.
