We run our own business on the systems we sell
Evenstead is new, so we don't have client results to show you yet. What we can show you is how we run Evenstead itself: the same phone answering, alerts and follow-up systems you'd get, working on our own business every day.
Our phone is answered by our own Phone Answering
Call 587-402-9763 and you reach the same assistant we set up for clients. It answers, asks what you need, takes a message or books an open time, and sends Paras a summary.
- Before each change goes live we run it through 12 hard test calls: an angry repeat caller, "am I talking to a robot?", a price push, someone trying to trick it into revealing its instructions, a wrong number, a flood emergency, a spam call, a late-night booking, mumbling, a request for other clients' details, a medical question and a caller greeting it in Punjabi.
- On our latest run it passed all 12. It started talking within 0.6 to 1.6 seconds, said it was an assistant when asked, refused to share anyone's details and told the flood caller to call 911 if anyone was in danger.
- It doesn't do everything. It doesn't transfer a caller to a person live yet, and it replies in English only.
Every alert goes to one place
New calls, website inquiries, bookings and replies all land in one message thread on Paras's phone instead of five inboxes. Paras can also text an assistant questions like "who should I call today?" and get the answer from our own lead list. Your version of this is the Owner Copilot, included in the Front Desk bundle.
A weekly list of new local businesses
Every Monday a system reads the City of Edmonton's public business-licence data, picks out newly licensed businesses in the trades and services we work with, and looks up the contact details each one publishes on its own website. Its first runs added 27 new businesses to our call list. We only use contact details a business publishes itself, and we keep our own do-not-contact list.
Every system is checked every hour
A separate system checks every scheduled job we run, every hour. If one stops running on time or keeps failing, Paras gets a message on his phone, usually before anyone else notices. Client systems get the same check from the day they go live. That's what "done-for-you" means here: we watch it and we fix it.
What we check before anything goes out
- Every page on this site and every email we send is checked against a list of claims we won't make: no "cheapest", no guaranteed results, no client names or reviews we don't have.
- Every cold email carries our name, phone number and a one-line way to opt out. Anyone who says stop is stopped.
- Prices quoted anywhere come from one approved price list.
