Tradies Using ServiceM8 – Here’s the AI Receptionist That Books Jobs for You (Even When You Can’t Answer the Phone)
Let’s be honest, if you’re a tradie running ServiceM8 and juggling jobs all day, chances are your phone rings non-stop.
And how many of those calls are you actually answering?
📞 Two missed calls in the morning
📞 Another three while you’re under the house
📞 One more while you’re picking up gear from Bunnings
That’s money lost, jobs that end up going to the competitor who simply picked up first.
That’s exactly why we built Johnni.ai, Australia’s smartest AI voice receptionist, now fully integrated with ServiceM8.
“I Know What It’s Like…”
“You’re flat out on the tools. Your phone’s blowing up all day, and you miss those calls or never get a chance to ring them back, because they’ve already booked someone else.”
Sound familiar?
Johnni.ai was made for exactly this moment. She answers the call, talks like a real person, captures the lead, and books the job into your ServiceM8 calendar, all while you keep working.
