If you are not one of them yet, start small. Pick one job. Here are five good first jobs, and how to choose.

Five good first jobs

1. Text back missed calls. When you cannot pick up, the caller gets a text in seconds. Read more in our post on missed call text back.

2. Ask for reviews. A short message with your review link goes out a few days after the job. Read more in our post on Google reviews.

3. Send appointment reminders. A text the day before means fewer people miss their visit.

4. Answer website questions. A chat on your site answers hours, parking, and prices at any hour.

5. Draft replies. AI writes the first draft of a review reply or an email. You read it and send it.

How to pick your first one

Pick the job that checks all three boxes:

• It happens every day.

• It follows the same steps each time.

• It costs you money when it gets missed.

For most service businesses, that is the phone. For appointment businesses, it is often no shows.
