You're asleep. The phone rings on the bedside. You don't hear it. A boiler emergency, two kids, freezing night.
She rings the next plumber on Google.
You're 30 feet up, hands full. The phone vibrates. By the time you're down, it's voicemail.
The customer doesn't leave one. They've already moved on.
Family dinner. The phone goes. You let it ring out. They can call back tomorrow.
They wanted a quote on a kitchen rewire. They'll have one from somebody else by Saturday lunchtime.
Three calls. Three jobs gone.
And you'd never know, because the customers don't tell you they tried.
Watch a real call unfold, beat by beat.
The same boiler emergency. Mark Davies is still asleep.
Two kids. Freezing night. She'll go to whoever picks up first.
Mark forwards his calls. Sayora answers.
Sayora asks the right questions.
Symptoms. Urgency. Address. Best number.
"Mark will ring back first thing in the morning, well before 8."
The SMS hits Mark's phone.
Without Sayora, she rang the next plumber on Google at 11.07pm.
With Sayora, Mark wins the £450 callout. Sarah gets a text from Mark Davies Plumbing confirming the morning visit. And she becomes a returning customer for the next ten years.
Picks up first time, every time. Mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays.
Reads your website. Knows your prices, services, and the questions your customers actually ask.
Name, number, postcode, what they want. On your phone within seconds.
When the same number rings again, she greets them by name. No 'what was this regarding?'
Politely shuts down marketing calls and hangs up. Only real leads reach your phone.
Connect your Google Calendar or Cal.com and Sayora checks your real availability, books the slot mid-call, then reschedules or cancels when callers ring back.
Sayora comes with an app built for the way you actually work. Open it between jobs and everything she's captured is waiting for you. Connect your Google Calendar and she checks your free/busy times so she only offers slots you're genuinely open for, then books, reschedules, and cancels those appointments during calls.
Sayora sees your free/busy times and the appointments she books for you, and nothing else on your calendar. See exactly what the Google Calendar integration accesses, and why. Or browse all integrations.

She knows the product inside out. Give her a call and ask her anything you’d ask us.
A part-time receptionist starts around £1,200 a month, if you can find one. Here's how the realistic options stack up.
Polite at best.
Most callers won't leave a message. The ones that do, you find at 9pm. By then they've already moved on.
Reads from a script.
Doesn't know your prices, your hours, or your customers. Business-hours only, unless you pay premium rates for round-the-clock cover.
Trained on your business. Always there.
Knows your prices, services, and FAQs. Captures every detail, every time. Texts you the lead within seconds. Round the clock, every day.
See her handle a call from a business like yours.

We provision a local UK number for your area (subject to availability) and wire everything up. You forward your existing calls to it; the number is yours for as long as you want it. Send us your URL, opening hours, and the services you offer.
Sayora reads your website. We build a custom FAQ around your prices and services. You sit in for a test call, tell us where she's off, and we tune her until she sounds right.
Calls forward to Sayora. A text lands every time she answers. We review her real calls and sharpen her every week, and every change is tested against a bank of simulated calls before it goes near your line.
About an hour of your time, total. The rest is us.

Two founders, building Sayora ourselves. You'll know us by name.
Spent years as head of growth at a podcast software company, where he and Bran built tools used by thousands of creators until the company was acquired. Before that, he worked with small business owners at a Scottish marketing agency. He's the one you'll talk to when you book a call.
LinkedIn
Head of engineering at the same company, working alongside Jacob from the early days through to the acquisition. He's spent his career building software that real users rely on every day. With Sayora, he's making sure she answers when the phone rings.
LinkedInA few do. Most don't: they rang because they want a job done, and she takes the job properly. The callers who hang up on her are the ones who'd have hung up on voicemail too. The difference is that with Sayora, you know they rang.
Yes, on every call, first thing. It's the law, and it's also just honest. Callers settle into the conversation quickly once they realise she can actually help.
She says so, takes the caller's name and number, and texts you straight away so you can ring back with the answer. She never makes something up.
Yes. You get a dedicated UK number for Sayora and forward your calls to it whenever you can't pick up. Your existing number stays exactly as it is.
It's month to month. One email and you're done, and your data is deleted when you go.
15 minutes with Jacob, Sayora's co-founder. You'll hear exactly what she'd say to your callers. No slides.
Or . She'll book it for you.
