What a missed call really costs
A short cartoon with on-screen captions. A plumber is working under a kitchen sink when his phone rings. By the time he gets to it, the caller has hung up. He calls back, but the line is busy: they are already calling a competitor. Meanwhile the kitchen floods. It ends with: Never miss a call again, with an AI Phone Receptionist that answers 24/7 and books the job. Call 289-646-1591 and hear it answer.
