Your Next Project Is Sitting in Your Voicemail. Ozzie Finds It.
Most general contractors get their best leads from referrals — but referrals still need to be called back quickly, scope-qualified, and scheduled for a site visit. When you're running an active project, that fast follow-up rarely happens. The referral calls two more GCs, and by the time you return the call, they've already picked someone.
Ozzie handles the intake conversation for new project inquiries: qualifying the scope, timeline, and budget range; answering questions about your typical project size and process; and booking the discovery call or site visit on your calendar. You walk into every consultation already knowing the basics.
The sales challenges specific to General Contractors
Slow response to referrals
A referral is a warm lead — but only if you respond fast. Ozzie calls or follows up with new referrals within minutes while you're on the job site.
Unqualified discovery meetings
Driving out to quote a job that's too small, too complex, or has an unrealistic budget is expensive. Ozzie qualifies scope and budget before the site visit.
Bid follow-up falling through
You submitted a bid three weeks ago and heard nothing. Ozzie follows up at the right cadence without you having to remember each open bid.
Subcontractor coordination calls
Lining up sub availability is a time sink. Ozzie can handle preliminary availability checks and scheduling conversations with your regular subs.

Robert Haines — Haines Build Group, Raleigh, NC
Challenge: Robert was running three simultaneous renovations and couldn't keep up with new inquiry calls. He was losing referrals to competitors who called back the same day.
Approach: Ozzie handled all new project inquiries, qualifying scope and budget, setting expectations on his current timeline, and booking discovery calls. Robert reviewed the call summaries each evening and showed up to meetings already knowing the project details.
Questions from General Contractors
Can Ozzie handle complex project scope questions?
It uses your uploaded project FAQ and capability guide to answer questions accurately. For highly technical questions, it books the discovery call where you can address them in person.
What about clients who want an immediate quote over the phone?
Ozzie explains your process — that accurate quotes require a site visit — and books that visit. It doesn't give ballpark numbers that become expectations.
Can it qualify budget without being awkward?
Yes. Ozzie frames budget questions professionally: "To make sure we're the right fit for your project, can you give me a general range you're working with?" It's a standard pre-qualification step.
Can Ozzie follow up on submitted bids?
Absolutely. You tell it when a bid was submitted, and it follows up at day 5, 10, and 20 — or whatever cadence you set — without you having to track it manually.
Never lose another referral to slow follow-up.
