Missed Calls
Calls reach voicemail and never re-enter a defined response queue.
REVENUE RECOVERY AND AI OPERATIONS FOR HOME SERVICES
Every missed call is a job someone else just booked.
Your team is busy running the business. Tradewind finds the calls, estimates, and past customers falling through the cracks, and installs the systems that turn more of them into booked jobs and measurable revenue.
Built around your existing CRM, phone system, and field-service software.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT ALWAYS LEAD VOLUME
You may not need more leads. You may need to capture more value from the ones you already have.
Most home-service companies invest heavily in advertising, reputation, technicians, and office staff. But revenue still disappears between disconnected systems, delayed responses, forgotten estimates, and inconsistent follow-up.
Slow Lead Response
New inquiries wait while the office handles today's work, giving the next company time to respond first.
Unsold Estimates
Estimates are delivered without a clear owner, next action, or stop condition.
Dormant Database
Past customers reach the next service interval without timely outreach.
Membership Leakage
Renewals, tune-ups, and recurring service opportunities depend on manual reminders.
Broken Handoffs
Customer context disappears between the phone, inbox, CRM, and field-service system.
START WITH THE NUMBERS

You do not need another list of AI possibilities. You need to know where opportunities are being lost, what those gaps may be worth, and which one should be fixed first.
Recovery scenario

ESTIMATED RECOVERABLE REVENUE
$350,700
This estimates the gross value of opportunities the model estimates as recoverable. This is not an amount Tradewind guarantees can be recovered.
Monthly$29,225
Weekly$6,744
Gross value of all affected opportunities$3,718,200Shown for scale, not as a recovery target.
Estimated contribution at 45% margin$157,815Applies your gross-margin input to the recoverable estimate.
Opportunity breakdown
Lead response$70,200
Estimate follow-up$168,000
Database reactivation$112,500
See the assumptions behind these numbers
Lead-response opportunity applies the selected recovery rate to leads with delayed or incomplete follow-up, then multiplies by average job value and 12 months.
Estimate opportunity applies the selected recovery rate to currently unsold estimates. Current estimate close rate is scorecard context only and does not change this estimate.
Database reactivation applies your reactivation rate and average sale value to dormant contacts, then adjusts for the selected scenario. It is a one-time annual campaign estimate, not recurring revenue.
Low recovery uses 5% lead recovery, 3% estimate recovery, and a 0.75 database multiplier. Expected recovery uses 10%, 5%, and 1.00. High recovery uses 15%, 8%, and 1.25. Current lead conversion informs addressable value and the scorecard, not the headline recoverable result.
This calculator provides illustrative estimates for planning purposes only. It estimates the gross value of opportunities, not the amount Tradewind guarantees can be recovered. It is not a prediction, promise, or guarantee of results. Actual opportunities and outcomes depend on lead quality, operations, market conditions, implementation, and the accuracy of the information entered.

- Follow-up sequences
- Data enrichment
- Call and conversation summaries
- CRM updates
- Opportunity alerts
Kept human-controlled
- Final pricing
- Dispatch commitments
- Refunds and discounts

BUILT AROUND YOUR CURRENT STACK
Keep the field-service platform your team already knows.
Tradewind designs revenue-recovery workflows around your existing CRM, phone system, and field-service software. Where the platform and your account provide the necessary access, conversations, appointments, follow-up activity, and outcomes can be returned to the system your team already uses.
Platforms commonly evaluated
Platform names describe systems a client may already operate. Compatibility depends on platform capabilities, account access, and the workflow being installed. No partnership or endorsement is implied.

Walk through how a missed call, an open estimate, or a dormant customer moves from opportunity to conversation, appointment, and attributed revenue. Every walkthrough uses scripted demonstration data.
THE OPPORTUNITY IS ALREADY IN THE BUSINESS
Find the revenue your operation is creating but not capturing.
Every day, calls go unanswered, leads wait too long for a response, estimates receive no follow-up, and past customers reach their next service interval without hearing from anyone.
Individually, these gaps are easy to miss. Together, they can reduce the return on the leads, relationships, and reputation your company has already worked to build.
The Revenue Recovery Assessment connects the dots.
Tradewind traces what happens to calls, leads, estimates, and past customers across your existing operation. We identify where opportunities are getting stuck, estimate what those gaps may be worth, and determine which one should be fixed first.
Start with the highest-value leak.
Use the free calculator to build a planning range from your numbers. If the opportunity warrants a closer look, the paid assessment turns it into a prioritized 90-day roadmap and implementation blueprint.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Direct answers before the first conversation.
What does Tradewind Automations do?
Tradewind finds revenue leaks inside home-service operations, designs practical systems around the tools already in place, launches those systems, and measures what changes.
Who is Tradewind built for?
Tradewind is built for owners, CEOs, general managers, and revenue leaders at established home-service companies, with an initial focus on businesses between $2M and $10M in annual revenue.
Do we need to replace our CRM or field-service software?
Usually not. The work begins by understanding how information moves through the systems you already use and where opportunities are being lost between them.
Is this just an AI chatbot?
No. Customer conversations may be one part of a workflow, but the system also covers routing, follow-up, CRM updates, alerts, attribution, reporting, and human approvals.
Will AI talk directly to our customers?
Only where the workflow, brand standards, and approval boundaries support it. Tradewind can begin with internal summaries, alerts, or draft responses when direct customer communication is not appropriate.
Can the system make pricing or dispatch decisions?
Final pricing, dispatch commitments, refunds, discounts, warranty disputes, and sensitive exceptions remain with your team.
How quickly can the first system launch?
Timing depends on workflow complexity, data quality, integrations, approval requirements, and testing. The assessment defines a realistic sequence and go-live criteria before implementation begins.
How do you measure results?
Measurement is tied to workflow coverage, conversations, booked jobs, reactivated customers, attributed opportunities, and the exceptions that still require attention.
What does an engagement cost?
The Revenue Recovery Assessment is $1,000 and is credited toward an approved implementation started within 30 days. Implementation is scoped around the workflow, complexity, integrations, volume, and ongoing support required.
What happens during the Revenue Recovery Assessment?
Tradewind reviews your workflows and available operating data, quantifies opportunity ranges, and produces a prioritized 90-day roadmap. The roadmap is yours to keep, and the assessment fee is credited toward an approved implementation started within 30 days.
What is the difference between the free scorecard and the paid assessment?
The free scorecard uses self-reported calculator inputs to provide a preliminary view. The paid assessment reviews actual call flow, CRM data, estimates, follow-up, and operating systems to produce a prioritized roadmap and implementation blueprint.
Can you work with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and restoration companies?
Yes. Those trades share common revenue-leak patterns, while each requires different workflow rules, customer expectations, and human approval boundaries.
What is a Fractional Chief AI Officer?
It is ongoing leadership for AI strategy, governance, vendor evaluation, implementation priorities, adoption, and performance management without adding a full-time executive role.
