The calls you’re losing
Print Shops: the phone problem
The floor can’t hear the phone
When the press is running, calls go unanswered — and a customer with a deadline doesn’t redial, they call the next shop. Sarah picks up every time, no matter what’s running.
Quotes need specs, not voicemails
A voicemail that says need a quote on some banners helps nobody. Sarah captures quantity, dimensions, stock, color, and artwork status, so your estimator quotes on the first callback.
Rush jobs reward the fast answer
Event printing is deadline printing. The customer who needs five hundred programs by Friday gives the job to whoever answers, confirms feasibility fastest, and books the handoff.
Three real calls · nothing staged
Hear Sarah on the phone
Real recorded conversations with US customers — the word-by-word transcript of each one is on the home page. Names, numbers and the client's business name are beeped out — everything else is exactly as it happened.
Qualifying the job on the call
A rental property with a leaking fridge. Sarah works out what is actually happening before anyone is dispatched.
An honest answer, not a sales pitch
The caller wants a part, not a technician. Sarah checks, says plainly that we do not sell parts, and offers what she can.
On the phone
Print Shops: a real call, handled

CallerHi, do you guys do booklets? I need programs for a conference — it’s a week from Saturday.
SarahWe do, and a week out is workable. Roughly how many, and how many pages per program?
CallerFive hundred copies, probably twelve pages, full color.
SarahGot it — five hundred twelve-page programs, full color, in hand before that Saturday. Do you have the artwork ready, or is design still in progress?
CallerThe artwork is done — our designer can send files today.
SarahPerfect. The shop manager can confirm pricing and the production slot on a quick call at 2 PM today — shall I book it and text you where to send the files?

Good to know
AI answering service for print shops: how it works
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone with a natural, human-sounding voice — instantly, on every call, at any hour. Sarah answers while your crew runs jobs, captures what the caller needs printed — quantity, size, stock, color, deadline — and books the quote conversation. Built for shops where the person who can answer the phone is also the person running the machine.
Unlike a traditional answering service that takes a message for you to chase later, Sarah completes the job on the call: she handles answers while the press runs, captures quantity, specs, and stock, and books the appointment straight into your calendar or field-service software. Every conversation is recorded, transcribed and summarized, so your team starts the day with booked work — not a voicemail queue. Plans start at $350 per month plus usage from 15¢ per minute of conversation, with white-glove setup included and no long-term contracts.
FAQ
Print Shops questions
Can Sarah quote prices?+–
No — pricing stays with your estimator. Sarah’s job is to make the quote instant on your side: she captures quantity, dimensions, stock, color, finishing, deadline, and artwork status, so the first callback is a number, not another round of questions.
How are rush jobs handled?+–
You define what counts as a rush — deadlines inside a set window, or specific job types — and Sarah flags those calls for immediate attention. The caller hears that their deadline was heard, which is often what wins the job.
Where do the details end up?+–
Every call becomes a structured summary in your calendar (e.g. Google Calendar) or CRM, attached to the booked quote conversation. Nothing lives on a sticky note by the register, and nothing gets retyped from a shouted message across the shop floor.
What does it cost a shop?+–
Plans start at $350 a month plus 15 cents per minute of talk time, with no long-term contracts. A captured quote call costs less than a sheet of good cardstock — and it happens even when everyone is on the floor.
