After-hours lockout intake.
Car or house, 2 AM, caller half-panicked. Sarah captures the location, whether they're safe, and the lock or fob type, then pages your on-call van on the call, in under a minute.
A locked-out caller dials the next locksmith in 30 seconds.
It's 2 AM, a fob died in the cold, and someone is standing next to a car they can't open. They're not leaving a voicemail. They're dialing the next number on the list. Sarah picks up first, pages your on-call van, and stays on the line until it's rolling.

"Then we'll get you in and check whether it needs a fresh battery or a reprogram. Marco confirmed: 22 minutes out. Texting you his name and ETA now."
Caller
"Push to start. So it's the fob that's dead."
Sarah
"Tonight, yes. Marco's on call. I'm paging him while we talk. Is it a push-to-start or a key you turn?"
Caller
"Yeah, I'm fine, just freezing. Can someone actually come tonight?"
Sarah
"Got it, H-E-B on Bandera. Are you somewhere safe to wait? I'm getting a van to you right now."
Caller
"I'm locked out of my car, the fob just died. I'm in the H-E-B lot off Bandera."
Built for Locksmith
The four jobs you'd actually hire her for.
Fob & transponder programming.
The margin jobs: key cutting, transponder and smart-key programming. Sarah catches the make, model, and year up front so your tech rolls with the right blank and the right programmer.
The next-locksmith race.
A locked-out caller dials the next business in 30 seconds. Sarah answers first, books the van, and texts the ETA before the caller has the second number pulled up.
Commercial rekey follow-up.
Property managers and businesses asking for rekeys, master systems, and lock changes. Sarah captures the scope and books the daytime job instead of letting the quote go cold.
Locksmith demand is the most after-hours-heavy of any trade.
Lockouts peak between 6 PM and 2 AM, on weekends, in the cold, exactly when your office is dark and your techs are asleep. The caller isn't shopping on price or reviews. They're standing in a parking lot, and they will dial the next locksmith within 30 seconds if you don't pick up. The business that answers first gets the van out and gets paid. With Sarah, that business is yours, every night, even at 2 AM.
The tools every locksmith business already uses.
Sarah doesn't ask you to switch CRMs. She writes into the ones you already pay for: work orders, photos, calendar, books.

When a freeze triples overnight lockouts, Sarah picks up five lines at once instead of one ringing out.
Midtown Locksmith · 5 vansFirst freeze of January, my phone went off at 2:14 AM and I let it ring. I was wrecked. Monday I saw Sarah had booked eleven lockouts overnight I never would've answered. One of them was a fob programming, a three-hundred-dollar job, off a call I slept through.
What locksmiths ask us before signing up.
How quickly can we go live?
About ten minutes, and you set it up yourself: you sign up, she pulls your service area and services from what's already online, you confirm the details and pick her voice, then you forward your line. Prefer we build it for you? Done-For-You is the same setup done by our team, and you're live the same day.
Does Sarah handle Spanish-speaking customers?
Yes, English and Spanish, including switching mid-call if the caller does. Same voice underneath, same intake script. In a market like San Antonio that's half the calls.
Can she really handle a 2 AM lockout?
That's the call she's built for. She picks up in under ten seconds, confirms the caller is safe, captures the location and the lock or fob type, and pages your on-call van while she's still on the line, then texts the caller the tech's name and ETA. She stays on until you've got it.
What about fob and transponder programming?
She captures the make, model, and year so your tech rolls with the right blank and programmer instead of a wasted trip. That's the margin work (automotive key and fob jobs run $250 to $400), and it's exactly the call you don't want going to voicemail.
What happens if she doesn't know an answer?
She pages your on-call line and stays on with the caller until you pick up. If you can't, she takes a detailed message and texts it to you. About 1 call in 80 needs to escalate.
Are calls recorded? Where are recordings stored?
Every call is recorded with the standard two-party-consent disclosure. Recordings live in your Ansa dashboard, encrypted at rest, deletable on demand.
What does it cost?
Self-serve is $297/mo. Done-For-You is $497/mo. Enterprise (multi-location) is custom. At a blended ticket near $185, one recovered after-hours lockout a month covers the subscription.
What happens if a cold snap triples our overnight calls?
Sarah picks up five lines simultaneously and queues the rest. When a freeze sends frozen deadbolts and dead fobs through the phones at 3 AM, nothing rings out. Every caller gets a van paged or a callback, not a voicemail.
