Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
Owner of a home service business (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, construction); testimonial from the owner of Mighty Air Inc.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Missed calls while technicians are on jobs or after hours go to voicemail and the caller dials a competitor; seasonal call spikes.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Cactus picks up every call 24/7 in English or Spanish, captures name, number, address and reason, triages/books and sends the lead to the team, screens spam; also now adds marketing management.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Month-to-month service with no long-term contract; HVAC case study traced $36,226 of billed invoices (50 invoices, 34 customers) to Cactus calls in one month, $19,509 from after-hours calls, over 136 calls handled.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Demo-led (book a demo, phone, test call, webinars) with free revenue-leak audit lead form and trade-specific case study pages; Cactus does the setup, live in 48 to 72 hours.
